    2003.5 front lip and inserts - $295

    OK. Long time coming, I've just been lazy... I've got a 2003.5 front lip and inserts I pulled off of my old MSP (dealer I traded it in on my Subie OBXT didn't know any better). The reason it's stripped is because the paint friggin' fell off - I don't know why, I'm convinced the car was a lemon...

    MSP Radiator replacement

    Are the stock 2.0l protg's and MSP radiators the same? I thought the MSP was shorter due to the SMIC. I couldn't find a definitive answer. If they are in fact different, does anyone know of somewhere that will something that drops straight in, no modification needed?

    prospecting - possible 2003.5 MSP stock front lip FS or FT

    I took my front lip/spoiler off of my 2003.5 MSP, because the paint was flaking off. Has anybody else had this problem? I seriously stripped the paint off using nothing more than an air gun. Seems like a bit of a quality issue from the factory. Anyways... I kinda like the look of it without the...

    Fixing one issue exposes another - heater core

    Got the MSP back on the road. The head gasket went out on me a few months back and I had coolant boiling over and exhaust fumes coming out of the fill neck on the radiator. Just drove her home after doing the head gasket, timing belt and components, VCTS delete, cylinder head resurface, and...

    Tips and advice for replacing head gasket.

    So I'm pretty sure I've popped my HG cherry finally - I smell and see exhaust fumes coming out of my radiator fill neck and I am constantly boiling over coolant. I'm going to do the head bolts, timing belt and water pump at the same time I do the HG. I will be buying the ITM gasket kit (because...

    Needing to replace my diff...

    First off, where the heck is the section in the FSM? Cannot find it any where. Secondly, does anyone have a cheap used oem lsd I can buy off of them? Please don't tell me I need to splash out and buy the MFactory or Quaife because I'm doing this on the cheap and I'm never going to be puting any...

    Hi everyone! I'm back after a long hiatus (had an 02 protege lx). I've been on the z car kick for a while, and still am. I have had a 1985 Nissan 300zx turbo (looked like s***, but could squeal the tires in 3rd) and still have a 1975 datsun 280z with no engine (had a 1983 280zx turbo motor...

    Possibly selling my protege.

    I've found a car that I'd really like to get my hands on. It's a 1985 Nissan 300zx. Recently, I've been falling in love with all things 'Z', originally, I wanted to get something like a 280z or 280zx, but the amount of time and money I'd have to put in would be too much for me. I then decided...

    New wheels.

    Well... I was going to buy some wheels off of a member from here, but I was in need of tires too. These came with the tires with about 80% tread so it was a steal. I paid 450 shipped for them. They're Momo GT's 16x7.5. Let me know what you think:

    Need help from the gurus!!!!

    OK. If any of you have read my other thread (probably not) you'd all know that my car has been in the body shop. The rental that they gave me to drive while my car was AWOL was a Chevy Cobalt (ech...). About three to four days ago, while I was coming up the driveway (which is unpaved gravel), a...

    New Header for my Mazda!

    Just got a new OBX header for the pro'. My question is - where it mounts to the stock midpipe - there are springs on the bolts. what is their purpose? From what I've come up with, they do the same thing as the flex joint on an aftermarket midpipe. Is this correct? Will my new OBX header bolt...
