    Tire Eater MP3?

    Last night I decided to put on my snow tires. From the outside, my OEM Dunlops on the alloys looked pretty good still.... Until I took them off. The 2 front tires are completely bald on the inside part of the tread. The tires probably have about 15,000 to 17,000 miles on them. I could move them...

    Cruise Control Questions

    So... Does anyone know exactly what is different between the MP3 and the ES 2.0 protege that prevents us from adding a factory cruise control kit??? There is a rubber knockout on the streering wheel for the control thing. I am just wondering what is limiting us on the mechanical side. Thanks Tim

It could be a knowledge base of all of the tips and tricks to perform service and modifications to the mp3. For instance I could put the info on how to remove the stereo on there...
