03 or 03.5?

Nice job.

Thankyou, that is my build.

http://www.astina gt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18798&page=11 All covered in the above link, partway down the page. the USDM version will be from a 2002 onwards GTO etc. (holden commodore) in Australia, Rear bracket needs to be fabricated to clamp into the liner.

Me too, thankyou for tracking this down for us.

I am also wanting this battery cooling duct assy.

Use a butter knife to pop the clips between outer and bottom plastic housings.

It reinforces the case at the 5th gear end of the case helping to prevent or lessen case flex. Post #30 of my build thread shows the plate installed when I re-built my trans.

Kano Varela (Aricebo Auto Beauty) on facebook does a flexiglass 03.5 msp lip replica.

Looking good.

Considering my header was in the $600 range second hand from Japan that price does not surprise me, however they really are a quality header.

Yes you can from above with a long shanked phillips head screwdriver.

HID projector retrofits?

Interesting, my Fs-ze has 19.1 on the head near the exhaust port where yours has 10.1, Different casting run maybe?

I will be following this one for sure.

While you have the P5 as a daily that does leave the option to accumulate the parts to build the motor to your satisfaction, It will take time but you know it'll be spot on. I have taken 3 years so far and only need to get the ARP head and main studs plus machining.

I forgot to mention that I also used the Mazda 3 final drive which is slightly shorter, to retain the protege final drive just swap the gears from the mazda 3 pinion shaft to the protege pinion shaft.

Thankyou, being able to get the parts in Australia just made life much easier.

the 1st-4th gears on the mazda 3 trans use dual synchros, if swapped in with the selector hubs they drop right in, my Bj protege G-series is fitted with the mazda 3 complete shaft assemblies with 626 5th gear set so I can confirm compatibility.

Also interested in shift knob plus cabin filter details.
