Well, I have read on this forum and a couple of others that it is not the most ideal because, depending on the severity of the accident, you can suffer spinal compression injuries due to the angle of the shoulder belts. That being said, Schroth has a document that illustrates how to correctly...

Thanks! The harness attaches to all the stock seatbelt mounting points. The lap belt bolts down to the lower mounting point of where the stock seat belt mounts and to where you click it to lock it in. Those 2 bolts will hold down lap belt. The shoulder belts go all the way to the back seat...

Well I got my exhaust hangers and installed them today and took a closer look at the damaged pipe. Turns out I really ripped apart the resonator. No sense in welding it back together. Going to install a temporary fix until I buy a Magnaflow resonator and catalytic converter for my aftermarket...

Happy Birthday!!

AutoExe is a very good brand. Realize that those springs are used and perches are used. You can see rust on some of the springs in the pics. Other than that doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Will do. Waiting to hear from a friend of a friend to see if they can paint my parts. As soon as I hear back I'll let you know.

Ah good to know. Thanks.

How many miles are on the kit? Are you willing to part it out? Do you have pics of the oil pan with the oil return fitting? Also, not to be a stick in the mud but why is there no signage as is required by forum rules...

The 4 lug discs are available overseas but not to us in the US. I think you can get them from the Ford Laser but I'm not certain.

I think it might. I has a 2" crack on one end that I needs to be fixed and the attachment points in the back need to be to recreated. I think it's possible to plastic weld it together. Going to talk to a buddy of mine about painting my new front lip and my rear lip this weekend so hopefully...

Still holding on for dear life to the rest of the car. I need to get my other front lip painted so I can install that one. I wanted to wait till I could paint the whole car but I might just have a buddy of mine paint it so I can install it.

I appreciate it bro. It's a little worse than I thought. It seems that the midpipe hangers got torn before which cause the midpipe to hang. Yesterday I felt I hit something pretty hard and I think that's when the mid pipe caught a bump which pulled the resonator about 1.5" out of the pipe...

Well just found out I tore all four of my exhaust urethane hangers. I'm thinking the mid pipe ones were already torn and I hit some bumps pretty hard today which caused the muffler hangers to tear off entirely. I have 3 spare hangers but I need one more for the mid pipe. Need to order a new...

Yup, still kicking. Just enjoying my time with my son. Like a wise man once told me. Enjoy your time with your kids now. You'll have more than enough time to work on your car after they move out.

Well I'm working on 3 projects right now so I can show you one that I've completed. I bought some fleaBay Mazdaspeed pedals and I finally got around to installing them. I know they're not authentic but I like them and they're on there pretty solid. Sorry for the bad pic. My phone camera...

If my 1.6L ever grenaded that's definitely one of the swaps that I would really consider. I'd probably run it with ITBs and nitrous.

You are correct. The 1.8L came with 4 wheel discs, however he's got a 2001 1.6L and those all came with drums in the back. From the Protege FAQ, 3rd generation owners will break down as follows: 4 lug cars: All US version 4 lug cars have front discs and rear drums. Swapping to...

You won't have to change the dash harness or any of the HVAC. Some of the 1.6L came with tachs while others didn't. Everything within the cabin will remain the same. You shouldn't haveto swap the axles unless the 2.0L axles are stronger than the 1.6L. If the 2.0L donor car has 4 wheel disc...

Looking good there. What's next on the list?

I guess it could be their definition of moderately low.
