Damn, I doubt those old Speed World Challenge Proteges even had half the parts you listed. Definitely interested in that BM shift kit, MSP Lip, and autoexe front lip.

Damn dude, how did you bend the control arm? Must've been one hell of an impact.

Man I want to be on that level of gap! If I can get that low and stop dipping and diving, I'd actually be competitive. That must've been fun. Was it a HPDE, or open track day? Those are some fat Mustangs behind you; you could've easy thrashed them in the corners. I hear that a lot of those...

Trust me, it only looks fun, but persisted as a major buzzkill throughout the whole course! It was a very tight and winding one in particular, and my chassis could not keep up. Anytime a quick maneuver would've come in handy, the front wheels lifted and spun. I couldn't get a powerslide...

Yeah, my brake nose dive is monstrous, mostly in part due to my beefier 626 brakes! In fact, sometimes my tire grip can't keep up with the brakes, which makes threshold braking tough. That picture was taken when I nailed my threshold brake, and you see the results lmao. And it's definitely...

Hey thanks for the info! Just what I needed. I know that it would be advantageous to go up a bolt size theoretically, but I think that might transfer more energy to the newly weaker top bolt/weldnut assembly. It's break sooner, maybe. And please, don't jinx that happening! Man that would...

Look at this picture: Look carefully at the spacing between the front wheel and the fender arch, and the rear wheel and its respective arch. Here, I outlined the rough distances: Now that's some serious squatting and diving. I don't even need to explicitly state what pedal I hit here...

You know, all this handywork you've showcased in your build thread is inspiring me to check out this welding class nearby. 70 bucks for three days of hands-on TIG, MIG, or the third one I'm forgetting about, and they provide the materials. All I gotta do is finish all 2000 other economic...

No kidding? Technically, light colors like yellows and whites deteriorate more slowly, but that's a weak reason to not apply the clearcoat from the factory. Shame on you, Mazda >:^(

Howdy fellas, Do any of you know the thread size of the rear subframe's swaybar bolts? I'm just about to the point where I can drop the money to end my swaybar fiasco once and for all. Just one thing...I lost my detached weldnuts, and I have no clue which bolts in my box o' P5 s*** are the...

Man if I had the space and time... Well, I did tell my pal that if he's down to set up a cheapo beater racer, I'd split costs with him and work on it with him. Best part is it'll be at his place at all times, and he's not far from me. He wants an Accord Coupe, which could be a lot of fun to run!

You got me interested...

Do you have the MSP fog deletes (smaller ones with square hole through the middle) or the MP3/P5 fog deletes? I actually don't know if the latter ones can fit with the MSP lip. Or maybe they do...dunno lol, but at least, mine were just pop in, two or three screws, and done. And you know what...

Cleaning Up The day turned out gorgeous. I figured it was time I washed my car again! I probably should've taken a picture of it, but I decided to get a little Banzai Bill vinyl sticker to put on my fuel door. Thought it was perfect, since Banzai Bills in Super Mario World are slow as...

Well, yes and no; he came up with a unique solution. Rather than re-welding in new weldnuts, he'd take individual pieces of thick steel to drill and tap according to the old weldnuts' specs. Then, he'd slide it through the square hole, drill some holes on the underside of the subframe for some...

(wow)(wow) Damn son, that looks nice! Best of luck with all repairs! You should ask CR3 if he sells his brackets worldwide. That'll put a stop to your bushings wearing excessively, and enable you to use stronger bushings and brackets.

It's funny how more often than not, other people are the reason we get assed to work on our cars :^) Cars and Coffee's going to be great. No one has a Protege, so you guys are going to stand out. How did you suck a rag into your intercooler piping? That sounds rough. What you could do is get...

That's the idea, but it seems like even without the swaybar, my car's got a much more neutral handling feel thanks to the new stiffer RSTB and trailing arms. It wants to roll, but not to the point of lifting the front-inner tire in respect to the turning radius. You know, it's really not bad at...

Suspension-Disbelief Today, I took the time to install this MX-3 rear strut tower bar. As I stated, it's incredibly solid, and it only stood to reason that it would improve handling. Much less eye-candy, but it's quite practical and effective! Next on the list of tasks was to investigate the...

Exactly what I recalled! I don't like screwing with the brakes if I don't have to, but looks like I must if those springs are going in. And that voltmeter gauge was actually reasonably lit without the cover. I set it to 12V with a very low current (just in case the thing wasn't designed to...
