    Thanks I may have to look into the pulley. I think I have looked at level10, do they do a bunch of Focus stuff as well? If so the are not cheap at all.

    I have a 03 P5 with the Sportmatic trans. Is there any way to get this thing to move a little faster. I have the Injen Cai, Mazdaspeed exhaust and OBX header. I know that all these parts have caused the car to lose some low end. But even if you try to launch the car it will not go over like...

    How TO: CEL/MIL Eliminator!

    Bigg Tim and Lord Zath you guys are both correct, I'm running the OBX header, mazdaspeed exhaust, and an ijen CIA. The nonfouler went into the end of the header(2nd sensor) I kept getting p0421 something about the 1st cat below threshold. Now I'm still having problems with the EGR tube...

    How TO: CEL/MIL Eliminator!

    When I first got my header installed I used the Cap and Res, it didn't work very well. After about 40 miles the CEL would come back on. After fighting with different sizes and polarized and what not. I put my wirring back to stock and tried the nonfouler, I told myself that if this doesn't work...

    P5 spotting in Westminster

    Yeah I know about the 712's, but I was suprised how good they did do. Nobody had any of the ASX in stock. I'm sorry I forget who it was but someone I talked too had 3 of them. I think its the color that blue just looks so clean all the time, that and the fact it was wet.

    I would love to do that, but this car has a mind of its own. The first and third time it happened I was at work on my lunch break, and the second time was late at night. Hopefully next time the timing will be better

    has anyone adjusted the TPS

    Ok, I'm surprised to see so much interest in the idea. This might help alittle to understand the theory behind what I was suggesting. Here is where I got the original idea for my truck, there is alot of people who have already done this to their vechicles. Just do a search on TPS...

    has anyone adjusted the TPS

    Oh well just an idea, like I said it worked on the truck. And I wasn't sure how it would do on the proteges, so I thought I would ask before I tryed it. Thanks And Gen1GT don't be haten after all "I'm assuming you do this so your car's ECU sees WOT sooner? It's a great idea to give you the...

    has anyone adjusted the TPS

    do you think its still worth a try then? I know with the truck we would do the TPS and relocate the IAT sensor into the fender. Both of these would increase the fuel ratio. But they also helped with the stuttering off the line that the truck was known for, do to the lack of throttle response.
