    Need clarification on Protege5 manual swaps *Please Help*

    Auto - Manual swaps are rare, lots of work involved other than bolting on the new box, new ecu, new gauge cluster, shifter and clutch mech iirc Manual-manual swap should be fine, very little to no difference there Rear swaybar is a must, massive improvement for very little effort! Highly...

    Protege5 Turbo tuning setup recommendations?

    Gidday! 2.5 options really: - Most common is a piggyback fuel /ignition timer like a SplitSecond unit (cant remember model name, MIGHT be discontinued now :( ) this will be quick and easy if you can find a unit - Go full out with a stand alone ECU like a haltech or megasquirt. There's a...

    Need Help running Protege5 amplifier power

    There should be a big rubber grommet on the LH side of the engine bay where the main loom runs through, you can normally poke a hole in this and feed the wire through. Then its an easy run down either the sill or under the console. **based on a RH drive 323, yours might be slightly different...

    Is it possible to check the Protege5 Timing belt?

    Timing belt looks mint, no fraying or cracking, the copper strip on the side is normal - its the reinforcement layer in the belt. For clunk I'd check the CV joints for play, maybe the shifter mechanism?

    Any Rally / Lifted Protege5 builds?

    There's been a few attempts at lifting a Pro5, someone made up some strut spacers and got around 1.5" from memory. Coilovers wound all the way out would get you there as well :) Biggest challenge is steering geometry and driveshaft angle up front. You'll need to be careful with camber/castor...

    Protege5 for me?

    I tell ya, these cars are addictive :D Looks like a good project! Personally I'd slap a turbo kit on it and have a pair of slightly different pro5s with yours being the faster one of course :P

    Another Protege5 thread

    Donor car is definitely the way to go 👍 even for the teeny little things elsewhere on the car Be careful of the slippery slope though, I pulled my engine out to tidy it up and it was just under a year before it was running again :P
