Nice man, is that with or without a VTCS delete? I can't express enough how excited I am to install this thing. I know that the MP3 ecu alone is great, but I've also heard that pairing it with an improved manifold is even better. Jeez this week can't end soon enough. I just want to wrench and...

Me too! What a rough day...good thing I still had my all-seasons on. Not going to lie, but I'm kind of envious that you have a b2200! They're just so neat, and bring me back to my Zook days. As cool as those b2200s are, it seems like all the mods are on the engine/carb and not on suspension...

VTCS Removal: Part 3 (Plus Extras) Spring break is approaching! Pretty soon, I'll have a week to just install everything and enjoy the benefits. Today, I grinded down the epoxy blobs to match the walls of the manifold, but accidentally took too much off of two spots. I broke out the epoxy once...

Those are rare parts now, since Hydra Motorsports stopped producing them for some time now. I think they only do group buys/preorders, but I could be wrong

I really can't wait to drop this thing now! Everytime I mention it to someone who modified a P5 before, I always get told how much the ECU transforns the car. Add a removal of an airflow blockage, and surely it'll be even greater! Just two more updates or so...

VTCS Removal: Part 2 Had a bit of time to kill after studying, so I took my high-temp quiksteel epoxy and stuffed the holes with them. This wasn't like the quiksteel outlined in the pdf tutorial on this site, so rather than rolling it and stuffing it down the holes, I had to grab globs out of...

Man, what luck! I crave a full set of tokicos, but know darn well that they'll be used and possibly be blown. Enjoy them! Also, you're braver than I for getting that front sway bar out. I've hear nothing but warnings about getting to it.

The weather turned nice, and gave me a chance to get under the car again and investigate the various issues I've been having. I tightened up the O2 spacer and the sensor itself, and took off both tubes connecting to the charcoal canister for draining/ventilation. Luckily, the IM upper-half that...

Was the telltale metal tab facing the wrong way? Last time I did my brakes, I learned that the pads indeed go in a specific way. Isn't it nice to drive a 17 year old car without abrasive squeaks or clunks?

A steal! How do they feel?

Dang, tough luck! At one point in time, he had 6 or 7 in stock. Oh well, knowing his business, he'll probably find 20 more MSPs some where lol

If you want to make it corner well, you thankfully don't have much to do. You can simply put on a Racing beat rear sway bar, stronger polyurethane bushings and some performance tires to really bring out it's potential. They made the greatest difference in my track times, and have kept me in...

Go to JP Parts Int'l on Facebook. He usually has a fair amount of used ones in storage alongside any other part you may need. Good luck!

Alright, could be a good excuse to get my buddy over! A bit of jumping around on the car to find a clunk before (or even with) a beer couldn't hurt. I have an Idea as to what it may be, which may be my ghetto bolt tightened at a funny angle. And Gabe, have you checked your grounds? Sucks to...

CELs and Crazy Clunks CEL came on as I drove home from school, so I popped in my scanner to see what's up. I got: P0140 - O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected P0451 - Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Range/Performance P0660 - Intake Manifold Tuning Valve Control...

During the time attack, I went to remove the spare tire as I usually do. Problem was, the weld nut that holds in the wheel broke! I've the worst luck with weldnuts!! I just got done clawing the thing out of its housing. It was quite the mess. I suppose I can consider this permanent weight...

Man, you bet it was a load of fun! Even on all-seasons, these P5s rock. As for pads, I think I just grabbed some generic Duralast ceramic pads from Autozone. They're keeping up pretty well, and haven't faded on me while racing yet.

AutoX: Drivermod I just got back from another practice round from the Time Attack I attend, and I'm starting to put a hurting on those Honda boys now (rockon) For two events in a row now, I've run faster times than a couple Type-S Integras and some modified Civics. This particular event...

Disregard that, I made a mistake. Spring rate is kg*m/s^2; I left out the length unit! In US Imperial units, I believe it's lb*f/s^2 or something like that. Man, I had to get the old Physics notebook out for that one, lol! Personally, I don't think measuring spring rate/damping without SI units...

There was a really sweet thread about springs you could get for our car, but I think the handy spreadsheet on there has since gone missing. If you google "protege spring thread" or something like that, you can find that spreadsheet to check out your options. As an aside, I think the unit for...
