If you replaced your MP3 stereo with something else then I'm interested in your OEM MP3 CD player in good working order.
'06 and back preferred.

yep, grind off the lip and it'll go right into place. I suggest putting a good thick high temp grease on the ball though. I sprayed lithium grease on it and I've now gotten a few squeaks out of it. I'll put some axle grease on it soon.
As for the monster knob, I debated buying one. The resin...
yeah, put it on a trailer and buy a car for actual driving.
I bet the strut mounts are all deformed now if you are using it as a daily. There's a reason people trailer their goofy show cars around. That is not a daily, and if you can't afford a separate daily then you can't afford that hobby.
you already have an amp pushing power to the speakers, so buying it for the power is pointless. If you like the 6cd and stock look (no thieves) then stick with it. Buy an aux mod or something so that you can access your mp3s. The sound quality from mp3 is less than cd usually so it won't be a...
Yep, doable, but has a few flaws.
1. I don't weld, don't plan on buying a welder either.
2. The stock brackets are raised 1/2" above the strut mount surface so there is no direct connection with the body.
3. The seatbelt "cup" lip isn't all that strong. Hence being able to bend it with a...
I took an hour yesterday and changed my front struts over to the Tokico blues. Of course, going from blown to working gives a nice improvement in feel. I won't be able to test between good oem and good blues unfortunately.
Here's my thoughts:
The slightly decreased strut travel in the front...
or you can buy a bra and as long as it is only used on a clean car for that one trip at a time then you are good. The bras will scratch the paint once they are left on all the time and dirt gets embedded under them. You can still put painters tape under where the bra edges are to protect from...
Too bad you are so far north. I have primo condition stock wheels with new rubber sitting here in SoCal.
If you're making any weekend trips down let me know.
Tip - put a little locktite on the nut when you bolt it back in, it won't loosen up easily that way.
If you want to firm up the OEM shifter bushing you might want to try screwing in a few good screws into the rubber outer rings. Cut off the heads and it'll essentially give a high tension fit...
go to the highest end performance shop and tell them you have a rare shifter system to install. Get a quote.
Look at quote, and laugh the whole time you change out the shifter in their parking lot before you leave.
If you pay someone to do this you need to have your tuner card pulled.
I have a Protege5 and recently added a Mazda3s hatch. After looking at all the current market options I settled on these for our daily cars. I like to buy used, I like to do my own maintenance and I like the 4 door hatch platform for versatility and family (have a two year old now).
Here's my...
