The other day I noticed that my A/C was not cooling as good as it has been. I did some listening and checking and it seems that the A/C cools better if it's running at an idle. If it's running or I'm turning up some RPM's the air warms up. I brought it to a shop and they said that they put...

So my numbers were off.. I'll make a revision... A crap load of turns in a very short distance. Anyway, still a fun fun happy time....

About two months ago I made a trip to NC to the dragons tail with a friend of mine who has an EVO. It was kinda cool to see a bunch of EVO's playing together like a sandbox. I was toying around with the idea of getting a bunch of us together to go to the tail of the dragon. I would love to...

Looked like he was using afterburners as front thrusters to maintain cornering... That's freaking insane... I want my breaks to do that!!!!!

If anyone has evern driven Deals-Gap at the dragons tail then you know 11 miles 311 turnes later your tires smell like napalm.

It could be your alternator... When I worked on heavy equipement and so fourth we use to run into the same thing. Your battery has enough juice to run the ignition and gauges and so fourth but when your turned on your head lights, it killed the remaining power.. If your alternator is out, it...

So long as emissions do not exceed the county limit they do not care what you have. I know from talking to some people around here, they get their yearly inspection done while chewing their nails off.. Main thing is the cat. One guy said that he removes his bolt on's has his inspection done...

I have done some talking with the guys at Lentech and they recommended that I upgrade the valve body but the whole transmission would be ok... 6psi will give me right under the tolerance of that valve body. I wouldn't have any concerns unless I went 6+psi with boost. THey also said that the...

So what your saying is if I keep the psi at 6# then I should be ok? That's all I really want. I'm not looking to bring the car to a track or any of that. Maby the dragons tail once a year but that's about it. I still should at least upgrade the valve body correct?

Well, I'm looking at only about a 50%-70% gain with the kit that I have... THis is a link to the kit.. http://www.turbo-kits.com/protege_turbo_kits.html It comes with the fuel management upgrade which I feel is a good setup for what I'm looking for.. I normally use the "sport shifter option...

As an early b'day/christmass gift, I have a turbo kit sitting in my living room for my 2003 P5. I have been doing alot of research and so fourth and have a couple of questions.. I made a post awhile back about this but I have some more detailed questions. 1st. I know that the stock auto...

I made a trip to the Dragon's tail and the P5 did great... What's a good set of tires that go on stock rims that would give me a little bit better grip? I have been doing some reading and have some ideas... Would it be better if I buy another set of rims and just have them ready for a swap out??

Has anyone ever made the mistake of putting a turbo kit on a protege 5 with an automatic transmission and blowing up a tourque converter? I have the kit, afraid to do it... hehehehehe

It's fortunate that I am not limited by time or well money some but time is no biggie... I figure if I'm going to do something might as well wait and do it right... The turbo kit that I was looking at does 6lb of boost which I know isn't enough and I think it will only give me like 75 more HP...

Like I said, it's really a project just to see what I can do for fun... I know it has stock everything including motor and transmission... I figured that I can blow the transmission and have a good reason to get a standard... The real question I guess was how long do I have before I would...
