After reading this post I've been thinking about swapping my tranny fluid with synthetic too. A guy i work with mentioned that he changed the differential fluid in his vehicle (Ford Explorer) with synthetic and he developed a lot of leaking. He figures the change from regular to synthetic...

Does anyone have pictures of a similar unit mounted with the Metra dash kit? How was easy was the install?

Hi! I have a 2002 Protege5. I had a blown rear speaker so i replaced all 4 with Infinity speakers. Now I'm looking at getting a new deck. The one I'm most interested in is the Alpine CDA-105. Has anyone had any experience with it? I'm wanting it for iPod use as well as CD use. I plan on...

I've been looking at either putting a drop in K&N filter in my Pro5 or getting an inexpensive intake. On NSN Motorsports website I notice the Vibrant intake but on the Vibrant website they don't mention our cars as ones they make intakes for. Has anyone purchased this intake? Fitment/mounting...

Does anyone know of any Canadian sites that sell HID kits for our cars? Shipping to Canada, and the possibility of paying duty, makes it pain.

Thanks for the input guys! I like the look of double DIN HU's. I've read a lot of positive things on the Pioneer FH-8000BT. The Clarion CX-609 is one i don't know much about. I'll have to czech it out. Can anyone comment on either of these units? Pictures of them installed?

I searched 'mods on the cheap'. Under the topic with that title, in the 4th post, there are links to a couple of inexpensive mods. I hope this helps. I tried to put a link to it here but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

Hi! I purchased a 2002 Protege5 about 6 weeks ago. I just did the mod that allows your windows to operate without the key in the ignition. Nice! While in the fuse box by the dead pedal I noticed a toggle switch that didn't look factory installed. I followed the wires up to a black box...

I was driving a 1996 Dodge Stratus. What a difference the P5 is! I made the switch to manual tranny too and I'm loving it.

Hi! I've had my 2002 Protege 5 now for a month and I'm looking at getting some speakers and a head unit in the near future. One of the rear speakers is blown. I've read the $500 and $1000 threads and the thread on rear speakers. There hasn't been much added to those lately. I'm hoping to...

Have you got the intake yet. Just wondering how the fit and is. Easy to install. I`m contemplating getting a cheap eBay intake too.

Hi! I've been lurking here for a couple of months now. I thought I should introduce myself. I picked up a silver Protege5 last weekend (2002). I'm loving it so far and plan on keeping it for a few years.
