    Airbags

    Having seen that Mazda recalled a ton of vehicles, some from the same era as the BJ chassis, Im wondering if anyone knows who manufactured the airbags in our cars? Im kinda curious to see if theres a chance that our cars will be recalled.

    Protege5 Manual Transmission Options

    So, say I changed wheel/tire diameter and wanted to use a YellowBox to keep my speedo accurate. My car has ABS. Where would the speed sensor connector be?

    MZDA WLF Proteg5 "build"

    That*s WILD, dude. Sounds like there may have been some other issues. I use the spray stuff that uses a straw before the TB, and it seems to do a great job.

    Sea foam seems to have done good work on every vehicle I*ve owned.

    Well, I swapped in the center console and cupholders from my *03 today. My girlfriend and I have been eating fast food lately, and having a better-functioning cupholder became more appealing.

    I technically still have the white car hahaha, but the black car has been behaving fine! Recently dropped the oil pan to seal it better, as it was leaking badly.

    Any San Francisco Bay Area Car Meets or Clubs?

    Danville Cars&Coffee in Blackhawk is a pretty good meet. Sadly, I never have the time to go anymore due to work. Also, whenever my car club has a meet, it's pretty open to any type of car, and I try to go with my P5. Follow @AwooCru on twitter, and maybe you'll find me at meets.

    JDM FS-DE question

    No the FS-DE exists in most markets it appears. But strangely, there is not much to suggest the -DE was sold in Japan, though my engine was imported from there...

    JDM FS-DE question

    It would seem the FS-DE had 9.7:1 compression and a different intake cam outside of North American markets

    JDM FS-DE question

    95 octane!? jeez. I can't get higher than 91 in California, but I'll bet the ignition timing is set differently on the US ECU

    JDM FS-DE question

    Hey guys, my car had a JDM FS-DE swapped in by the PO, and apparently that means it has a different intake cam and higher compression (9.7:1). At that compression, should I be running 87, 89, or 91 octane fuel with a stock USDM FS-DE ECU? Also, my knowledge of cams is limited, so if anyone can...

    Seafoam, new spark plugs, and fresh motor oil have everything working wonderfully now. Definitely more peppy than before!

    Got the Depo headlights off the white car, reinstalled the originals on that car, and put the projectors in the Depos, which are now on the black car. I think it looks sweet, and the HIDs certainly work great when behind super clear lenses.
