just put in a cosmo racing short shifter. feels great but is a bit taller than the stock shifter... probably gonna cut it down soon.
Nice, I remember having a NOS setup to spray the intercooler. I think it was more for a bling factor at meets now that I look back on it.
Came with the car...acquired it last week...plan to remove the whole system...previous owner swears only a half dozen uses..who knows?? Need to perform a leak-down test this week...

Are you using an instruction manual? Don't waste your time removing the exhaust or the bracket that supports the IM. You can get to all the bolts and remove the starter while leaving that stuff attached.

Yeah its great!, the sound is so much better and clear and the settings are so cool and specific in what you want to EQ. The color changing is also a plus
The service manual. No need to remove the exhaust, but it's so much easier when you remove that bracket (especially when you are doing it for the first time).
Installed it correctly the 2nd time, but I think my battery has been deep-sixed.
I just love the ipod control, so so much. plus having the orange option kinda makes it match the rest of the car

Was able to turn the engine over for the first time in almost a month!
What was going on with your MP3?
Starter died. Using a 626 starter now.
Latest; greased rear sway bar bushings, regapped my spark plugs to see if I get better spark, new spark plug wires, new headlight bulbs (GE Nighthawk Platinum), replaced rear passenger taillight, replaced a thermostat, fixed both my stock and aftermarket gauges as both weren't working, replaced my "ghetto-rigged" front RacingLine Performance endlinks with true front endlinks from the same company and put in some HPS pads in the rear to match the front while doing my bi-annual brake maintenance.
Oh, and cleaned up a used EGR I bought from DubbyDoo to put in the car soon as I'm pretty sure mine is pooched.

Is a 626 starter better than the protege one?
