Yes...when I have it in neutral I can reproduce the sound. It is not there through the whole rev range though. For example, I will take off from a start and around 3,500RPM it will make the noise, go away when I hit around 4,200 it will start again. Also, I have not noticed any signifigant power...

Well duh...I knew that! ;) Yeah...I guess I need to bring it in. I was thinking it may be the valve. I don't know how though, cause I never over-rev the engine. Hmmm...this is gonna be exspensive. I just know it :(

Just recently my 2002 P5 has been making a very loud clicking noise when I accelerate. The car has almost 68,000 miles on it. I thought at first it was bad gas, but have since filled the tank up with 93Oct and the sound still exist. Before I bring the car in, I wanted to post here to see if...

Yeah...I was actually gonna bid on that hood on Ebay. From what I remember the hood scoop is functional. What they did was on the underside of the hood they have a duct that goes from the scoop up to where a short ram air intake would be. Not sure how functional it is...but it looks like...

I live in lower NY and we are in the middle of a nasty snow storm. I work a second job at night and in the past always dreaded having to go to work if it was snowing. I never got a chance to put snow tires on my P5 so I was all over the place. So I finally ordered tires and steel rims off of...

Damn... That sucks. It always surprises me how inconsiderate people are in this world. They don't give a s*** about their stuff and sure as hell don't care about yours. I see people in nice new cars parked all crooked with scratches down the sides of their cars and you can tell they...

I know I got a JPG scan of the time slip somewhere on my PC. I gotta track it down. I got into the 14.9's a few times that day. I think the thing working to my advantage was it was a very cool day. Only like 55F. But...none of the Type R's that day got into the 14's which I could not...

I had a 2000 Celica GT-S. Went to the track for my very first time drag racing and ran a low 14.9. I only had a TRD axel back exhaust. My main concern with that car was how it had to be rev'ed to the moon to keep it in VVTL-I territory for the next up shift to land above 6,000RPM. You had...

.....And boogers on his steering wheel. :)

I tried to find the scan of my time slip....could not dig it up. It was like 2 years ago. All I remembered was there was 3 Type-R's there and none broke into the 14's which I found odd. It was also a very cool day. About 55F. I miss that car. The way the second cam kicked in at...

Have not dragged the P5 yet. But managed at 14.9 with my 2000 Celica GT-S with only a axel back TRD exhaust.

If you are going to quote me, at least quote the whole thing. I knew from the start I did not have a chance, I was just passing time going to work trying to tag along with this guy. Anyway....I am done. I thought I would post a entertaining story (at least to myself) but as always with the...

If I was racing then answer me this.. How come when we got caught in traffic and I wound up in front of him...then when it cleared I let him go by. ?? I was already on the move cause I was trying to make time getting to work faster. He just happened to zoom by and I wanted to make my 1 hour...

I would say I got owned if I actually was trying to race him with the thought that I was gonna win. From the get go I knew I was gonna get roasted. I just wanted to see what his car can do out of appreciation for the faster cars out there. But yeah..I am stupid and got owned. :rolleyes:

So I am running late for work and cruising down the hi-way doing about 85 (65MPH limit). All the sudden this new Mustang Bullet comes zooming past. There was no traffic so I figured what the hell and followed him. When he saw I was behind him he put his hand up and waved goodbye to me then...

I don't 100% agree with that. There are some riders like McCoy and Hayden who love to slide into the corner on engine and rear break methods and others who do not ride like that. Of course sliding out of the corner on power is always going to happen but the best way and I would imagine it...

I have only done a few Auto-X's with my old Celica, but done plenty of track time on my bike. Question is...is drifting really the fastest way around a corner or just for show boating? I would imagine it would come in handy trying to block a pass from behind.

Check out this thread.. http://www.protege5.com/vbb230/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35187 This company says they will make a short shifter version of the shift boot if you specify you want one for the short shifter. Looks like a good deal too at $20.00 for both the E-Brake and shift boot.

How old was yours when you took the striping off? My car is only just over a year old.

I am going to get my front fender replaced and repainted soon. My question is about this whole color matching thing to the rest of my car. The autobody shops keep talking about blending the color of the repainted fender into the rest of the car. I guess this is due to sun fad on the color of...
