Just got these the other day :) New wheels and tie bar: Buckle up, it's going to be a long trip. When I got home. Stuck the center cap in to see if I got the right ones. I did :) I think it's seen better days. You can still read this, though. OEM Mazda center caps. Oh no. That seems...

Pics of my 2nd gen: When I first got it. Lowered on B&G 1.5" lowering springs and KYB GR2s with JDM lights. Projector retrofit.

Build thread start: To start off, I'll list some of the stuff I have already done to the car, along with some pics: Short intake HID projector retrofit LED DRLs JDM tail lights JDM corner lights/turnsignals Mazdaspeed strutbar Alpine Type-S 6.5" component speakers front Alpine Type-S 6x9"...

I don't think it matters if the transmission is auto or manual. Just grab an intermediate shaft and CV axle from another Protege and you should be good to go.

Are these still for sale? I'm interested in buying them. And being that you're in Connecticut I could even pick them up myself, no shipping. Let me know! :)

The driver side has been pointing way right since I put them in, just been too lazy to fix it. The passenger side....? My dad put a nut or something under the reflector because he couldn't get the light to go up high enough to be level. So I'm thinking whatever he put in there has been moving...

Need to adjust these lights. The passenger side has slowly been creeping upwards and the driver side is aimed way to the right. *sigh*

Purchased the rear spindles, rotors, calipers, e-brake cables, brake lines, front spindles, rotors, calipers and rear sway bar from a member on another forum. The parts came off a 1995 Protege ES and will be going on my 1998 Protege LX sometime this spring or early summer after I clean them up a...

This thread is a little old, but..... This isn't the right forum for Protege related questions? I know this is a (mostly new) Mazda forum, but this sub section is for 1st and 2nd gen PROTEGES. Did you not read the rules about posting links to other forums? How is anybody here supposed to...

Haha, I said it wouldn't be noticable. But a smooth bend just plain looks nicer than a welded right angle. It's more of style over function, but thought I'd throw the info out there (not like we all don't already know that, but whatever). Plus, almost no one works on 2nd gens, and 2nd gens with...

I got all the parts (except the filter) from my local Autozone. I don't know if you have one down there, but you can also get the parts from Spectre's website, www.spectreperformance.com. Go to "Catalog" -> "By P/N or Category" -> "Air Intake Components (Modular)" -> "3" O.D. Chrome Intake...

Yes. The smooth bend allows for better airflow than the sharp corner. Better airflow means better performance. The performance increase probably won't be very noticable, though. This is my set-up: I actually have a 60 degree bend on the throttle body instead of a 90 degree.

Showing the Protege can go "off road" too? Hahaha, welcome!

Nice car hendru. I would like to suggest changing the 90 degree welded corner in your intake next to the brake fluid reservoir to a 90 degree mandrel bend. A mandrel bent 90 degree piece would improve airflow compared the the welded piece. Just a thought ;)

Thanks for the welcome guys. Wow, such an old post. Anyway..... I've done some work to it. Got it lowered on B&G lowering springs (1.5") and KYB GR2 struts with new strut mounts. Put on a Mazdaspeed front strutbar and JDM taillights and corners. I modified the USDM headlight housing and put...

I'm told the ES calipers will bolt to the LX spindles, but I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm this please??

I bought them off a guy who was parting out his Protege. I don't know where he got them from, though. They're JDM, so if you can find someone who imports that kind of stuff you can try there. But I don't know how to get them myself, sorry.
