    Looking to get a set of racing hart center caps, preferably with the aluminum in nice shape, though the condition of the center emblems isn't important.

    MZDA WLF Proteg5 "build"

    Finally got an intake that will pass smog inspection in California, and it's powdercoated a metallic black similar to my paint color, too!

    My housemate helped with the parts that were two-person jobs, as well as a couple things where I lack the sheer upper body strength.

    Okay, so I’ve done a lot of work to the engine in the past couple days. Painted many aluminum bits, scrubbed all the accessories, replaced the timing belt and water pump, swapped my nice valve cover on, installed the slightly used spark plugs from the old engine for temporary use, installed a...

    So, I got this yesterday: Haven’t ripped apart the dead engine yet to investigate, will probably do that after the new one is in the car. $500 got me a 2003 FS-ZE with 65k miles on it, and it appears to be internally pretty clean. Gonna spend time replacing every seal and belt, and also making...

    MZDA WLF Proteg5 "build"

    FINALLY some news! Got the engine out, and already have a clue as to how badly things broke. When I unbolted the transmission, oil began to spill out from the seam between it and the engine. Haven't taken it off completely yet, but I'm suspecting my rear main seal failed along with other...

    Exhaust Question for Cali SF Bay P5's.

    It doesn*t. Since it still uses OBDII, it won*t set off any issues. Also, since the timing utilizes the compression more effectively, the car actually will burn less fuel at a given RPM, which will lead to fewer emissions, especially for the sniffer test

    Exhaust Question for Cali SF Bay P5's.

    Since the emissions standards are set by the state of California, it won*t be so simple as Trump just waving his magic Sharpie and signing a paper. I agree that CA regulations sometimes are illogical (since some mods that reduce harmful emissions are still illegal), but until there is some kind...

    Cause my budget is tight (and California emissions), I*m gonna go FSZE and only end up spending $1400 all in for the engine, and all the *while I*m in there* bits. There will be many pics.
