CAI came today, also the donut gasket for my headers. Will put those on tonight or tomorrow. Also got 2 OBD code readers, one that hooks directly in via a cable and one that is bluetooth and hooks up to my Android phone and monitors the engine in real time! I will let you know how well they work.

When running 17's and low pro's on P5 you'll want to stick with 215/40/17 tires, however with this you will need a +45mm offset or higher. The wheels you have chosen will for surely rub, and will require you to roll the fenders. Check with the wheel manufacture, they may have the same wheels...

Maybe the coils are bad and only crap out when they get really hot....

Headlights, how much?

Haha, not completely off header. The donut flange gasket is missing. Hence the sound lol. Get the new gasket in tomorrow along with the CAI, Because stock intake tube was cracked, which will be installed tomorrow. Get back to being quite again. But yeah sounds like garbage!

Installed OBX Headers, hmm that really sucked. Had to do it because pre-cat was bad, didnt want to replace it lol. Didnt finish completely, the flange gasket off the down pipe was falling apart so i couldnt re-use it. Had to order a new one. Car is loud as SH*T when coming straight off...

Rolled over 156,000 today. Orginal everything......except a couple mods here and there....

Are you pulling any codes or is your check engine light on? Sounds like an intake/compression issue. Could be mass air flow sensor, intake, injectors, coils....... Could try disconnecting the battery cable, pushing on breaks for 15 seconds (to rid machine of power) and reconnect. Also, is the...

I have done quite a few suspension system replacements, in my experience I have had allignment issues with most of them afterwards. That being said, I also did the fronts at the same time as the rears, so thats a lot of changing parts.

Yeah, I would check your fuses first and foremost. There is a temperature sensor that turns the fans on, probably by your thermostat, not quite sure but that would be the next path to check. The plug in the front of your air dam, does it look like a houshold AC type plug? If it does that is...

For sure, Was thinking about that. However, my engine has 158K on it, and wanted to go with something with less miles on it. I dont think a motor with that many miles wll last very long with a turbo lol! Was also thinking of getting a forged longblock and going that route, that way i would...

Ok, so here is the backstory. Have 2002 protege5 that i purchased in 05, Best car ever! Got 18" rims, sound system, rockblockers, and a couple other things. Never really got a chance, or money, to do what I wanted with it. Fast forward to now. Car is pretty much the same, just more miles...

Could also be Clutch rattle. Known issue for P5's. I think there is a TSB for this but from what i heard it doesn't make a huge difference after you get the ecu programming......

Need a New intake, so I can Port it and Loctite the VICS Screws to replace my Failing one.

Thanks for all your help guys. I posted a new thread about a J-spec intake manifold. Anyone know if this is a bolt up or would i need other parts to make this one happen.

Anyone know if the J-spec Intake manifold is a direct bolt up, or do you need other parts top make this work. Found one for a decent price and i need to replace mine. Link

Alright so I think i know what this is already. The dreaded VTCS Screws, but just want to post some questions and see what yall think. Alright so i changed out my sparkplugs less than a thousand miles ago. After the replacement, the motor ran Great! Actually it ran better than it ever has...

Sounds like you need a new clutch, just my two cents...(drive)

We should just have Indiglo Roads lol!!! No need for lights on cars haha just messing. HID's look cool and are a nice piece of equipment for the driver, but not for the ones on the receiving end. Especially not me because i suffer from night blindness as it is.(when you dont see as clear as...
