For the past few summers, my AC switch will turn on and off, when the fan is on 2 or 3. Works fine at 1 and 4. The fan works fine, but the a/c will cut in and out when the fan is at 2 or 3. Could this just be an a/c solenoid issue? Any idea on how easy to fix? Thanks.

Bought my MSP July 16, 2003, rolled over 50k miles early in July and now that ive got a little over 52,000 miles on it my alternator is failing. Battery light started coming on friday and then going off, and I finally had a chance to look into it today. Battery is good, its a 35/75 series...

Anyone have either HAWK or EBC pads? Which do you guys prefer, and any place that supports the forum sell them? I know ive been gone a while, and ive read most of the threads on it, but just looking for opinions. Thanks.

As some of you know, i blew up the diff in my car 2/21/05, with 28,200 miles on it. Alot of them hard. My car was no where near stock, so over the next few weeks, i slowly took it back to stock, and finally got it there 2 weeks ago. Dropped the car off at Mazda 2 weeks ago wednesday, and...

http://www.streetrodstuff.com/Articles/Engine/Detonation/index.php Its a pretty long read, but well worth the time spent doing so. There is alot of techincal data to comprehend, but overall its pretty easy to understand the differences in detonation, and in pre ignition. Basically detonation...

Drivin around town yestertday afternoon with a friend, my diff decided it didnt like working anymore, so it killed itself. I was in 2nd gear about 25mph, 45% throttle coming down a hill and it popped, ground for a second, and then i shifted it into 3rd, but had to stop up ahead, so i coasted...

2g DSM 450 injectors will work on a protege correct? Im picking up a set tomorrow for 40 bucks from a friend. Theyre top feed, 450cc low impedance. They look exactly like the wrx injectors pictured on ebay. Any protege owners using these? Thanks.

Emanage and ignition harness is wired up. Car started up first try, and after playing with some settings it now idles. At first it wasnt holding a steady rpm and off the chart lean. As soon as i came back to work, i got a call sayin it holds a 14.8-15.2 AFR idle. Road tune tomorrow! :D...

Anyone have their heads ported and polished? I recently met a local shop owner who has a flowbench and has been porting and polishing heads for years. I plan on taking my car in over the summer to get a full port and polish, with flowbench results as well. Wont happen for several months, but...

What Clutch should i go with? Spec Stage 2 ACT Street Disk Other. Im leaning heavily toward the ACT since ive driven an ACT MSP before and loved the feel, but i also really loved the Spec Stage 2 on my buddies 91 turbo II. Ive heard "bad" things about both companies, like pressure plates...

Are the splines on the MSP clutch the same as the regular protege/protege5 clutch? ACT lists the same part number and price for the MSP clutch and the protege clutch. However, Spec Clutch lists 2 different clutches, the MSP being MUCH more expensive. Couldnt find the answer anywhere... thanks!

I know my oil leaks from my rigged up oil pressure tee, but its not that bad of a leak, and i regularly check or add oil to make sure im not low, however the last time i checked it, it was right under the full line, and today when i changed the oil, it only had about 2.75 qts. Not that low, but...

Well on my way to work, my cd player stopped working, flipped open and wouldnt respond to any buttons. So i used a pack of gum to do a manual reset on it. Of course that fixed it, but the strangest thing of all was that my sub, which stopped working in august, magically works again. Im glad my...

Eat it bitches, i played halo 2 tonight... and it is ******* insane. Easily 10x better than Halo, and Halo is in the top 5 best games of all time on my list. Single player, multiplayer, its all awesome. Worth the 2 year wait, WELL WELL worth it. If you have a modded xbox, then download...
