My Problem: My car has 171k miles on it. The shifting is not as smooth as I think it should be. Its a 5 speed protege5 that had the tranny fluid replaced 10k miles ago with mobile 1 synthetic. It seems like when I shift from first to second, there is a lip or something that catches on the...

50$, Located in Lititz PA (17543). Local's get first dibs. Sorry they don't all have my name in them, took 3 pictures then remembered i needed to have it in there. I'm posting all of them for a better idea of their condition. They came off my P5 when i put on blues/eibach today...

http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rat3idea/protege5 So 29.1 so far with mixed driving. 5 speed, 175k miles, 9k on the 66k junkyard engine.

The yak rack with q-towers is awesome. I have it with 3 bike adapters on my car currently.

I love those scoop hoods, anyone have a link to them? Also love the front lip that lets you run factory fogs. Here's my DD with 170k miles right after I took two days and polished the paint.

My car didn't come with one and i'd like one in decent condition. I am carrying more semi-expensive stuff in the hatch area and would love to stop just throwing a blanket over it.

It seems about the same power wise as it has been. I'm too scared to turn it back on at this point.

Anyone have an idea what it could be? New-ish engine went in 4500miles ago, noise started today. http://s417.photobucket.com/albums/pp259/thedigitalslacker/?action=view&current=VIDEO0002.mp4

First off, 180whp isn't high horsepower. Not even factoring in displacement. Second, 300$ might not sound like a good chunk to you, but that's an extra few Christmas gifts to people or whatever else. I got the answer to my question so this thread can be closed, thanks for the input guys!

I drive 25k-30k miles a year, it adds up... trust me.

True, just not worth it for this car.

Fair enough. Looks like I'll pass on the parts then. I'm liking the 32mpg+ 87 octane DD right now.

Hey Guys, I may be falling into a pretty cheap turbo / engine / trans / ecu from a 2003.5 mazdaspeed protege. I was wondering, if I transfer the turbo kit and use that ECU am I going to have to run premium? I'm fine running slightly less boost if I can keep running 87. I already have one car...

Bought the blue's tonight. Still up in the air on springs. I want to replace them since my springs are stock and with 163k my luck is they will break soon after if i don't.

Interesting, Thank you guys for the advice. I think i may try to find the Tokico blues with the eibach springs. Time to do some price comparisons and see who has the best deals. Is it worth doing any of the other suspension bits while I am there? I'm trying to keep this as cushy as possible...

Hey Guys, I got a new engine in the P5 and decided that if i want to keep it i really should do something about the suspension. It has 163k on it right now and probably will be 170k before anything gets done. This car is my DD for work and I am looking for a suspension upgrade that won't drop...

Well crap. Is there any aftermarket lip that you can run and keep the stock lights? I kinda like them. I haven't seen any pictures of slightly smaller lights in with the lip.

and keep your fog lights? I keep seeing P5's that have them but everyone seems to have them removed?
