Looks nice. Where did you get the brush-on caliper paint? I can only ever find spray paint or that expensive G2 stuff.

Got a new pair of tires for the stockers on Friday and drove the car to Raleigh and back this weekend. She just broke 160,000 miles.

Bump. PM sent.

That engine bay is beautiful! Are you using a 1.8L coilpack? I'd be interested to see how it's mounted.

As soon as I get the exhaust and engine mounts sorted, I'll definitely join the trend. The rear valence and center console both look great!

I like the look of the plasti-dipped center console. I've thought about doing both that piece and the stereo surround (since I scratched the hell out of it getting the stock head unit out). Did you take it apart (take the cupholder lid off) before spraying it?

**** it, I'm just gonna start replacing the coils every time I fill up the tank. Time to see if pull-a-part has a 1.8L Protege on the lot...

Sold!

Sale pending.

If you need any testers, I'd be willing to help... ;)

Tein's site says they drop 1.8" in the front and 1.5" in the rear for the Protege5; 2.0" and 1.4" for the sedan. http://www.tein.com/products/s_tech_price_list.html The Spring Buyer's Guide thread lists the P5 drops as 1.5" front and 1.8" rear, but that doesn't make sense...

After taking some more time to look at pricing on these, my original asking price was unrealistic. $150 will now get these to your front door. (price drop bump)

Ah, you can get them a little cheaper than I thought you could. I'm open to fair offers, but not in a hurry to sell. Thanks for the input.

Tein P/N: SKM46-AUB00 I purchased these from someone locally a couple months ago, but I've decided since then that I don't want a drop that low. They were never installed on my car, but I don't know how many miles were put on them by the previous owner. I've cleaned them up and had a look...

Do you want the caps, like this: Or the full strips, like this: I have the former, and can come up with pictures and a fair price tomorrow.

Any clue if AWR's lifetime warranty on those mounts will transfer? I'll email them if you don't have that info.

Do you still have the gauge cluster dimmer assembly? Price on it?

I run ST also, and it sounds like you've already figured out that seat time is more valuable than just about any mod you can put on the car. Although I ran a few autocrosses last year, I just started for this year due to suspension problems, and I'm very rusty. I'm not sure what tires you're...

Nice to see more Protege5s being autocrossed! Did they put you in ST class due to your mods, or is that header illegal for that class?

^^ Nice. What bumped you into FSP?
