    stock suspension

    He doesn't have a strut tower bar. Also his isn't an S. And I'm not saying his car doesn't handle great. I was just very surprised how well my car stood up against his in the corners. Springs and sway bar are plans for the spring/summer.

    Torque converter unlocking on slight grades

    Do the automatic P5's have a tcc solenoid? I know when I used to own automatic cavy/sunfires this used to be an issue with them and it was kind of similar.

    stock suspension

    That is something I am wanting to check out for my area. I've done the go in a straight line racing for a few years and it was all bracket racing so it got very boring. And I guess now is, is there a stiffer spring you can get without actually lowering the car? If so how can I tell by looking...

    who has what

    Let us know how you make out. I'm thinking endlinks are in order for the near future for me too. The P5 is going to be the first car that I do any amount of suspension work so I don't know much about it. Right now I just have Moog endlinks that I picked up at a local parts shop.

    stock suspension

    Ok I have a question last night I let a friend drive my car. He owns an RSX. So as he's driving my car he asked me if I lowered the car or put in stiffer springs. I said I never have and I can't see the previous owner putting them. I then asked him why he said the car handles and feels like...

    Temp Gauge

    Sounds good thanks guys. The gauge came with a bunch of adapters looks like I just have to build a T and put it inline. And I would never cut wires. My plan was to put a plug on the new gauge and just unplug the connector at that sensor. So if that sensor does send a signal to the temp gauge...

    Temp Gauge

    I did a search looking for my answer and couldn't find it. What I'm wondering is my dash gauge is broken and I picked up an aftermarket gauge. The gauge is a mechanical and electric gauge. I noticed the water temp sending unit inline with the upper rad hose could I just use the wires off...

    Stalling Issue?

    Thanks that actually sounds like my problem to a "tee". I'm going to clean it and see if that fixes it and if it does then I know what I'll be buying next for the car.

    Stalling Issue?

    It's progressively getting worse. Now when it isn't stalling out it will only Idle at around 500rpms and idle rough. When I pull away there is no hesitation it's almost like nothing is wrong.

    Stalling Issue?

    Ok so my car now stalls out when I start it. If I sit with my foot lightly on the gas to keep it at around the idle rpm's it's fine and once I start driving it's fine. The other day I was dropping my GF off at work I shut the car off we said our goodbyes went to start the car and it was dead I...

    Recommend an HID Kit

    Not sure of a brand mine are cheap ones but work great. Haven't installed them in the car yet as they came with 10,000k bulbs which would be much too blue for my liking. I wouldn't go any higher then 6000k. 5000k is pure white (full spectrum of light on the Kelvin Scale) 5500k is pure sunlight.

    what is this crap on my headlight?!

    When I wet sanded my lights used 2000 grit wet paper, turtle wax polishing compound (green tub) and Blue Magic plastic polish and they turned out like they are new removed the ugly yellow haze took about 2hrs to do both sides.

    MP3 CD Deck?

    I just picked up my pocket and harrness from futureshop I think in total was $30. I use nothing but JVC decks and have for years still running a 7+ year old one in the van. Still plays disks flawlessly. To give you an idea of just how old the deck is the big selling feature on it was it was...

    Where to buy replacement H7 bulbs for cheaper?

    No hassle at all I just went in with my sales slip and told the lady at the counter I was told there is a year warranty on these bulbs and they burnt out prematurely she looked at my slip and had a new package brought up and I was on my way.

    Where to buy replacement H7 bulbs for cheaper?

    That would be me. It's a factory warranty it has nothing to do with the store itself other then they have to honor it.

    Protege 5 Rant.

    I hardly ever run into this. Most of the guys I hang with love the P5. I have a couple GM friends who poke fun but they drive sunchickens and crapaliers so they don't know any better.

    Silverstar bulbs

    Not sure how many guys are using them but I thought I would pass on this little bit of info. When I was in Canadian Tire a few months ago buying new bulbs I was just talking to the dude working there about how crappy these lights were for lasting. He informed me that the bulbs have a 1 year...
