I am experiencing a problem that I know is common, but I am still not certain what the problem is. When I drive, under boost I notice a burning oil smell, and then when the car is off after a drive, you can still smell it. After checking under the car, there is oil that coats the oil pan, the...

I searched for a thread about this, but with limited time, so I apologize if this question has been asked before, and also please excuse its stupidity haha I installed a forge WGA a little while back, but I am returning to factory boost since I am now putting the Protege up for sale. I need to...

Just wondering if anyone has ever installed a trailer hitch on an MSP. My friend's got an 03 WRX that has one and I was hoping to get one installed so I could haul my bike up from San Diego to Santa Barbara, and also so that I could get a trailer hitch ski and snowboard rack so I don't have to...

When I put in my new radio I must have unhooked the mecahnical linkage that activates my heater. I pulled the glovebox and found the wire linkage just hanging loose. When I turn the thermostat I can see the wire moving around but I cannot figure out what it is supposed to hook up to. Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure this is a spring issue, but not positive. I bought my car with the springs on it and they always did this, but it is getting worse. Every time I go over a bump (speed bumps are the worst) my car makes a horrible crunching sound. I'm not bottoming out, but it sounds like the...

I posted this in car audio and electronics, but... I am putting in a new head unit for my stereo on my MSP and when I pulled the old one out, I taped off all the wires and everything, but had to run an errand before I could put the new unit in. While I was driving I noticed that me heater had...

I'm going to put this in car help as well, but I figured someone would be able to answer this quick. I am putting in a new head unit for my stereo on my MSP and when I pulled the old one out, I taped off all the wires and everything, but had to run an errand before I could put the new unit in...

Hey everyone I recently installed my Forge WGA and its working great! Thing is, though, I am overboosting... My car will spike to 10psi if I'm trying to accelerate fast, then it will drop back down to 5 or so psi and I will lose almost all of my power. I am glad that it is not holding the...

I am trying to install this new Forge WGA, but I can't find a shop that will do it for less than 350 in San Diego... Any tips of good places to go? I need this quick because my car is throwing a P0171 code and it is preventing me from smogging it... I am pretty sure the source of the code is...

Hey guys, I have had my boost gauge in for a while, and it has been reading a maximum of 4PSI on WOT. I am on stock WGA, no controller, no piggyback or anything. I am running a weird exhaust though. It is a Perrin JBE with a weird midpipe with some ebay cats cut up and welded in. It is a 2"...

Hey guys! I am in need of a stock exhaust! What I need: J-pipe, dual cat midpipe, catback pipe, and axle back racingbeat muffler. I would prefer to buy it all from 1 person hehe. If you have this sitting around please let me know!

I have a perrin JBE, and I am wondering if the midpipe can be replaced by the stock dual cat system. The Perrin cat-back portion has the connectors at a slight angle and I am unsure if the original system had this sort of connector. Thanks!

So I am currently running a frankenexhaust that was a Perrin JBE. I got some test pipe and welded a couple of ebay cats on it and tried to fit it into my system (fail) to pass smog, and it worked, but now I am stuck with these horrible cats. It was something I did to save some cash and pass...

Lookin to buy the stock front bumper mesh that goes in between the foglights. Lemme know what you got.

Ok so I am fearing the worst, but I wanna hear it from other people before I decide anything... Today my CEL came on again accompanied by my battery light. My CEL could be something different (I think it is my Ebay dual cat midpipe that sucks balls (had to get it for smog (CA sucks))). After...

Hey everyone. THIS IS NOT FOR SALE YET, but I am considering selling my Perrin JBE and just wanted to see if anyone would be possibly interested. Runs J-pipe back, 3" mandrel bent, no cats, straight through muffler w/4" tip, awesome sound. I gotta get something catted, and am debating getting...

Ok I KNOW there is a write-up for this, but after 45 mins of searching, I cannot find the damn thing! If you know of it/subbed it or whatev, please link it to me if you can! Whenever I take a turn while braking over an uneven surface, my brakes make a weird grinding sound and display...

I have been getting a rattle in my exhaust system ever since I threw the stock catted midpipe for smog. I have the Perrin JBE (right now it is just a cb) and before I did this there was no rattle. I think it is hitting the rear axle, and it gets much worse when other people sit in my car. I...

I have some fogs on now, but they aren't quite up to snuff. Looking for some stocker MSP/P5 fogs (or maybe fog deletes) to throw on my car. I do not have much money to spend at all right now (college student), but I am gotta get my MSP back into shape before I go insane. PM me with what you...

Umm, my boost gauge reads at a -25psi vacuum while at idle, and under high boost, it reads a whopping 0psi. I just installed the gauge today, using the how-to on the forum. Used the same vac hose used in the pics and everything... Wtf? While the cars off, it reads -1psi vacuum.
