    CorkSport Protege Rear Strut Tower Brace - brand new, never installed

    Never got around to installing this on my Protege and am now selling my Protege so it's time for this to go. I had the mounting brackets powder coated red (to match my other red powder coated parts on the car), but other than that this is a completely brand new CorkSport rear strut tower brace...

    Clunk fix -- hard to find since they stopped making them, anyone have the tech specs?

    Ok, have been trying to pay attention to the classified (though, to be honest, I think I've missed a couple of clunk fixes being sold) with little luck. Anyone know if the plans or specs or drawings are out there? I'm thinking of going to a local metal working shop and having them make the...

    Turbo tutorial??

    Ok, used search but didn't immediately see anything. I'm looking at turbocharging my 2002 ES and wanted to educate myself about the various turbos out there that make sense for our cars. Can anyone recommend a good thread here on the forum or an external resource? Specifically, trying to...

    Maximum REAR wheel spacer

    Ok, recently installed StopTech's BBK on my fronts, and had to add a H&R 15mm wheel spacer to make things fit. This change has made my car more than a little "darty" on the road, so would like to add a 15mm wheel spacer to my rear wheels (I'm dropped about 1") . . . anyone know if this will fit...

    Best Protege Engine Mounts?

    Ok, getting ready to buy some engine mounts and am wondering what to go with? The car isn't a track car, more interested in lower vibration than ultimate performance. I've seen the AWR . . . what are the other options out there?

    Front lower control arms . . . options

    Ok, had some maintenance done recently and shop told me my ball joints are shot up front on the lower control arm. With the way our control arms are designed, apparently, you have to replace the entire control arm assembly. I also recently lowered the car (with Tokico blues) and have...

    Need new control arms . . . aftermarket?

    Ok, so my 2002 ES has 175k miles on it and it's time for new control arms. I found some Megan Racing aftermarket control arms online, are there any other choices? Also, if I don't go aftermarket, any difference in quality between OEM and non-OEM replacement parts as it relates to control arms...

    Tokico HPK247 (blues) shock and spring kit -- anyone having issues?

    Ok, my Tokicos are just over 14 months old and the rears are leaking. Anyone have a similar issue? How good is the Tokico warranty? Did they take care of you? If Tokico DOESN'T warranty these, suggestions? Does this mean I should go coil-over? If so, which one? I'm primarily interested in...

    Got my new StopTechs! Woo hoo! Pics inside.

    Well, had been putting this off (saving money) for a long time and FINALLY had the work done this week. Overall I'm very happy with the results . . . they look great, but I haven't really had a chance to put them to the test quite yet. Without the 15 mm spacers (as you can see from the...

    Upper WHP limit for a 2.4" exhaust?

    I'm planning on going turbo with a built motor -- shooting for about 350 whp -- and would like to hear from folks who've done this. What size exhaust are you running? What kind of problems would I run into running a 2.4" cat-back exhaust on a built engine running enough boost to produce 350...

    3" catback - Good idea or bad idea on a N/A Protege?

    Thinking about the Corksport 2.4" or the 3.0" for my N/A 2.0 Protege. The reason I'm even CONSIDERING the 3.0" is that I want to go from N/A to turbo and don't want to have to buy the exhaust twice (i.e., first the 2.4" and then upgrade to the 3.0" when I go turbo). I could hold off on the...

    New AVIC-Z120BT mounted and works, except now my climate controls are frakked

    Ok, so I had a local kid who works at an audio shop do my AVIC install and after the fourth try he finally got it right. Other than a little engine hum/buzz, everything works. Unfortunately, now my temperature controls don't work (no matter what I get cold air) and the lighting on the mode...

    Billet or powder coated battery tie down or tray?

    Have done a couple of searches, and although I've found some threads, they all look like dead ends. Anyone know of a nice looking batter tie down or box that fits our cars? Specifically looking for one that does not screw down next to the strut bolts.
