Antenna modifications I'm certainly not an antenna expert, and as I look more into how antennas work, I am reminded of that even more. I realize that modifying this antenna might not be the best idea, and there definitely could be more to the seemingly arbitrary way it's designed that I might...

Hardware Here's an Arduino nano if you haven't seen one. I dug around under the dash until I found the keyless entry module. Just one screw to remove it, and removing the plug obviously. Size comparison with the nano. More later on how I plan to package the Arduino. The module opens...

This might get a little nerdy. Mostly documenting for future reference for myself and others. Technical Details I'm using an Arduino nano. Main reason for this is the convenience of the built in voltage regulator which supports an input of 7-12v per the Arduino spec sheet, but according to...

I've always liked the idea of adding smart convenience features to an older vehicle. As someone with a background in what boils down to electrical and computer engineering, it's not too challenging of a proposition, depending on the vehicle and desired functionality. And I just so happen to...

Dang where'd all the pictures go?? The ones I can see look great though.

I'm not an expert and I would have to take some more time to find sources for you but I believe the JDM motors, even non ZEs run slightly different compression which can cause pinging. I've heard stories of people in your exact boat that had the same problem. Don't quote me but I believe they...

I always hated how flimsy the Protege doors felt when closing, even compared to other crappy cars like 90s Fords and Hondas! I definitely need to do both of these on my P5.

I ended up finding a bracket elsewhere, so this can now be closed. A tad bit of info for anyone who might see this: the brackets are symmetrical and are the same on both sides.

I did notice that. I used a pliers to rotate the pistons back and it was super easy. I guess I've heard the MSP calipers have less issues with seizing which is why I went with them. I've gone through multiple new and used P5 rear calipers on both sides in the last couple years and was...

Just completed a MSP rear brake swap - calipers, rotors and pads. Pretty straight forward once I had all the parts. Feels really good. Nice to have a parking brake again too. Really hoping this setup lasts longer than the P5 brakes I had on before which kept seizing and causing problems. I...
