    Is Upgrading Really Worth It?

    Personaly I think air intake is worth the price. You get better gas milage you no longer have to replace your fillter every other oil change (the cost dose add up). As far as exhaust, I have never replaced it on a vehicle I owned but I plan to for this one. Now you have to decide for yourself if...

    changing my oil...

    From what I understand when you go synth you have to flush your system of the petro oil. You dont just want to drain and fill with synth because when you drain there is still oil in the system and synth and petoleum based oils dont mix unless thay were made that way.... As far as the filter...

    K&N intake

    So I was on K&N's web site and I saw thay have a Typhoon intake for the Protege. Thay dont specify the PR5 or 2003 but I am asuming that if it is for the 2.0L then it will work. I did not get a price. Anyone got any info in this, how it compares with AEM. Well now I will have to rethink my...

    Intake pics

    I am trying to decide on an intake I have seen lots of photos of the Injin CAI, but I would like to see how others are configured in the bay. I am not to keen on the idea of moving the coolent bottle for the Injin CAI. I am not even convinced that you will get more air flow in the wheel well...

    Wiper ?

    I have read about the wiper mod for the PR5 so I looked at mine, it is an 03 with the mid year refresh (it has the subwoofer& amp). Well it has three wiper speeds intermitent 1 and 2. and the rear wiper has two speeds as well I belive. So is this new or will the unit from the MPV be an upgrade?
