Hey all, quick question... After I got my Mazdaspeed axleback and CAI installed on my '99 LX, I lost quite a bit of the low-end "pep" that my car had, but noticed gains in the higher-RPM department, especially with the intake. Anyway, I have been looking for a way to increase and get back my...

I want to get Exel TZ-7s for my '99 Protege LX. It is 17x7 and includes 205/40/17 tires. What I don't understand is that it says "4 lug only"... sorry if I sound dumb, but what does this mean? I just need to know if these will fit so I can go ahead and order. Thanks.

Hey guys, I want to get the Excel TZ-10s from Wheelmax, which you can see just short of halfway down the page here. Thing is, I don't know what my lug/bolt pattern is on my '99 LX w/ stock 14" hubcaps. In fact, I have no idea what that even means. These wheels come in 4x100 and 4x114.3. Will...

Hey guys, I don't know whether it was on this forum or another, but there's this really funny spoof that these guys made of hardcore emo culture. There were two videos, called "This Is You" and "This Is You Too". I lost them when my old computer died from a virus and now I am hopelessly trying...

Hey all, I had an eBay CAI put in on my '99 LX (had to get it done professionally because a metal bar and fluid container were blocking the fender hole), but I've been having problems since getting it installed. First off, is the intake supposed to make a moaning, exhaust-like noise when...

Hey dude, I was behind you today in my friend's white '94 Chevy Silverado, going south on Prospect around 4 o'clock. You might remember the truck... lowered, clear front end conversion, euros, moldings shaved, etc. Oh well, probably not. We tried to yell and get your attention, but with no luck...

I gave my '99 a bath today and decided to take some pics. I know I will get flamed for having clear tails and no rims, but oh well. I plan on getting rims this summer when I begin work. It's hard to be 17 and have 2 expensive hobbies (my other is guitar). So far, my sound system is complete, yet...

I bought an eBay CAI for my '99 LX months ago, tried to put it on, failed, and it's been sitting here for a while. Didn't come with any directions. I could get it put in professionally for around $100, but I figured if someone here could help me with it, that'd rule. Anyone? Thanks!

What will a Mazdaspeed muffler do to my '99 LX? - Update The title says it all. I'm buying one and want to know what to expect. Oh yeah... axle back. I want to know about sound, performance, etc. I'm also having my eBay CAI installed in a week or so. Thanks... ya'll rule.

Hey guys. All the hype about the eBay CAIs got me very interested, so I bought one. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with instructions, and I have no idea where to even start. I'm not looking for long, detailed instructions (although those would be nice); I just need a sort of basic idea of how a...

Hey all.. you may remember the thread I made a while back, where I was looking at a system, complete with an amp, cd deck, 4 speakers, 2 12"s, a box, and wires, ALL for less than $200. Well, as you guys predicted, I ended up spending more than I had originally bargained for. My "sound rig," is...

Well, today I began the first part of my audio makeover to my '99 LX, which was replacing my two 6x8s and two 6x9s with Rockford Fosgate Punch speakers. I'm running the stock deck as of now (new one being put in tomorrow). Anyway, after hours of removing panels, cutting wires, etc., I finally...

Hey guys, sorry for the dumb question... but with front speakers that have a red wire and a white wire, which is positive and which is negative? Thanks.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38646&item=2462460651 Ok, so I know that this system is s*** compared to a lot of other systems, but I am not looking for a HUGE increase in bass / quality, but a noticable increase that is good for the money. Basically, how...

I have clear corners on my '99 Protege, but the amber bulbs that came with the lamps still make the corner lamp look too orange. Would it be legal if I got blue bulbs to use in the corner lamp? BTW, I live in IL. Thanks.

I've been looking at some DIY window tinting kits, and I don't really have any clue as to their quality. I've heard some good stuff, and I've heard some bad stuff. Are these crap? Is it worth paying around $200 more to get it professionally done? Thanks guys.

Hey guys, I want to lower my '99 Protege LX and have some basic questions. 1) What will be the driving effects of lowering the car? How will it affect the handing, smoothness, etc.? 2) What is a safe, practical number of inches to lower the car? 3) Is professional installation required? If...

I posted a couple of pics a while back of my Pro' after washing. Well, I recently put in the clear corners and altezza tail lights that I bought from forum member Paul. Total, these two things cost me just $80, and I think the car looks MUCH better than before. Next up is the new mesh grill...

I saw an awesome orange MSP today (Saturday) in Champaign in the shops off Springfield by Taco Bell. Does this belong to anyone here?

Hey fellas, I've been looking for a new air intake system (still open to different options at this time), but I realized that everything out there seems to be for 1.8L engines. Does anyone know where I can find one for my '99 LX? Thanks.
