    2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege Full Part Out

    Does this have Tokico Blues? Would you be willing to sell just the right front shock?

    New Issues After Installing FSZE Intake Manifold. Hopefully Simple?

    Haha, I got greedy for more power! I don't see myself ever going back to the USDM intake, just because of how much of a pain everything was. Granted, I learned a lot and could do it much faster this time. I'm trying to drive like a granny for this tank of gas, just so I can get a baseline for...

    New Issues After Installing FSZE Intake Manifold. Hopefully Simple?

    Well I'm definitely not opening up the transmission any time soon! If I would have known I already had the lighter Mazdaspeed flywheel I would have just kept that. I loved the way my car drove and responded with the previous FSDE setup. (Mid Range Torque) The other IACV I have has some damage...

    New Issues After Installing FSZE Intake Manifold. Hopefully Simple?

    It does bother me... I want to know that my car is running properly. I actually didn't check the code when I unplugged the NSS. I just assumed it was P0705. I don't think it's the clutch pedal switch because the RPMs would directly respond to me pushing the clutch in. Clutch out, the RPMs would...

    New Issues After Installing FSZE Intake Manifold. Hopefully Simple?

    The ECU was able to clear the fault on it's own. Leading me to think it's okay. Still, as you mentioned, the code did show up before. Let's just assume it is the switch. Why would the RPM drop every single time if the switch is intermittent? I'm not putting any more money into this car...

    New Issues After Installing FSZE Intake Manifold. Hopefully Simple?

    I did a good bit of research about using the fidanza in the Protege and no one mentioned any problems. It makes sense, but why doesn't this happen to everyone? It's fairly noticeable. I have another IACV that I am going to try out. The black plastic that covers the electronics is slightly...

    New Issues After Installing FSZE Intake Manifold. Hopefully Simple?

    Just filled my tank and had absolutely no stumbling or idling issues. Not sure if I did something to fix it, or it just worked it out on its own. For now i'm just going to consider that taken care of. I'm pretty sure the other issue is not a neutral switch. When the car detects it is not...

    can anyone recommend a Mazda technician or repair shop in Orange County, SoCal?

    Not sure what an MFA is, but if you still need A/C help I can vouch for The Air Shop in Santa Ana. Just had my A/C repaired there. Older guy that knows what he is doing. JC's Alignment for alignments or suspension and brakes. Sadly I don't really have a good recommendation for a good shop...

    New Issues After Installing FSZE Intake Manifold. Hopefully Simple?

    I actually got the idea from a Miata thread I had found where the NSS was the culprit. What's interesting is I can for sure make the car do the idle drop more than 10 times during a drive cycle. I would have thought it would have flipped a code by now. I've driven over a thousand miles with this...

    New Issues After Installing FSZE Intake Manifold. Hopefully Simple?

    What do you guys think about a the neutral safety switch being bad? Before the engine swap I had the P0705 code intermittently. It would go away on it's own and never caused any problems as far as I could tell. I haven't gotten this code at all after the engine swap, but it makes me curious...

    New Issues After Installing FSZE Intake Manifold. Hopefully Simple?

    I'll get the jelly filled kind to really make it seal! Tried spraying some throttle body cleaner in the injector seats. I didn't notice any sort of idle change. Was really hoping it would be this simple fix. Sprayed it around the intake area as well with the same results. I reset the ecu...

    Mazda Protege5 head unit and speaker upgrades! HELP

    I definitely do not regret getting an amp with my head unit. Makes a big difference in my opinion. I was able to put the amp underneath the drivers seat for a nice stealthy install.

    New Issues After Installing FSZE Intake Manifold. Hopefully Simple?

    How would I go about inspecting/changing fuel trims? To be honest I really don't even know what that implies. Good idea about the injectors. I'm 95% sure I installed them correctly, but I thought it was a little strange that thay weren't super snug in fitment. Also, just to add. I do not...

    New Issues After Installing FSZE Intake Manifold. Hopefully Simple?

    If any of you found my other thread you will know that I recently had a FSZE engine put in my car. To get the most out of it I installed the FSZE intake manifold as well. This is when things started going wrong... Whenever I am driving and I put the car in neutral and let the revs drop...

    Massive Performance Part-Out (MP3 ECU, Fidanza, CAI, Kartboy, AEM, Medieval, SLS)

    Bump for an old thread, but I just want to say I had a great experience with this seller. Got the Fidanza flywheel and clutch kit. Everything was packaged well, and arrived quickly. Fast communication as well! Turns out I already had a lightweight flywheel installed on my car. So I guess I...
