    Stock wheel weight

    Hey everyone, I'm thinking about getting new wheels for the car for my next mod, but I was just wondering how much the stock wheel on a '99 Protege ES weighs? I looked in theman's protege faq, but couldn't find any information. If possible, I want to get wheels an inch bigger than stock, but...

    Suggestions/Opinions on optimal tire pressure

    Hey, When I bought my car, I was pretty bad with paying attention to certain aspects of service, especially the tires. I wore out almost new Falken's in about 10,000 miles. It was ridiculous. Well, recently I invested a decent chunk of change into BF Goodrich g-Force Sport tires, and I want to...

    Looking for low-end power

    Hey, I just installed a CAI a couple of weeks ago, and noticed the loss of low-end power that I was warned about... I'm not liking it. I just want a little bit more push off the line, instead of slowly crawling to a get-go. I don't want to push it into 4000 RPM each time I want to zoom zoom...

    Hey everyone, I'm looking to get window tinting done pretty soon on my pro, but just wondering if there were any places that do it pretty cheap and still had high quality work?

    How do you get better radio reception?

    This might be a dumb question for some of you, but I am wondering how I can get a stronger signal to my Protege's radio. Some CD head units claim to bring in better reception, and I was wondering if this is true? If it helps any, I have a '99 Protege ES.
