I am selling my Microtech LT-10s, that I had used on my 2000 Protege ES. This is a fully programmable ECU that can be programmed to work with Turbo or NA setups (mine was NA). The coolest thing about the Microtech is being able to tune on the fly- no restarting the car, or shutting down. Comes...

I got bit by the RWD bug last year, and bought a 07 MX-5 Sport (5 spd). Original plan was run it in CS (MS-R build), but then decided to try out the new STR class. So far, I've got some coilovers (Moton$!), RX-8 sport front swaybar, 17x8.5 wheels with 245-35-17 Toyo R1R's, and a stock-type...

I am looking for a complete engine wiring harness for the 99 or 2000 1.8L Protege with a Manual Transmission. I am planning to remove my Microtech and will need to replace the harness. Looking for something under $150. Does anyone know if the engine harness for the 2.0L will work on a...

I am looking to sell my car, and the buyer wants to swap his Twiggy cams in when he buys it. I have a Microtech ECU, and I was wondering what kind of changes I should expect to make when we get the cams in? Should I expect to make any changes beyond basic fuel and timing map adjustments? Thanks,

At the last event the car has started to develop a rod-knock. I drove the car home with no problems, but figure this is a sign for me to move on to something new. My 275 Hoosiers got me a ride in a XP Miata with a Corvette engine, and it is hard to turn that down! Looking to see if anyone is...

I am trying to find a used motor or remanufactured short block for my Protege but can't seem to find many local options on the internet searches. Does anyone know of a good local source to get mazda engines? I am in Austin, but would be OK with traveling to Houston or Dallas to pick up. Thanks!

I have a couple sets of wheels for sale. Stock 2000 Protege ES wheels, with Kumho tires (inside edge is worn) 15x6" - 4x100 bolt pattern 40mm offset. $150 OBO Diamond Racing wheels with 225-50-14 Kumho V700's (roughly 2 yrs old). 14x8" - 4x100 bolt pattern 5" backspacing. May need 5mm...

I'm looking to get a Front Lower Tie Brace for my 2000 Protege ES. This same part fits the later model '01+ Protege and Protege5. So far, GT Spec is the only company I have found that makes this part, and they will only sell you one if you buy 10! So I'd like to get just one. New or Used is...

I've made a few changes recently(from ITB's with bigger injectors to the 626 Manifold with stock injectors) and had to basically start over with my tune. I'm working with Steve's "improved Stock injector" map as a starting point. Doing the road tune, the car is feeling great until it hits...

I just replaced my front brake calipers. Have bled the brakes really well (liek 3 times now). When the car is off, I can get a firm pedal feel. When the car is on and the e-brake is engaged, I get a firm pedal feel. However, when the car is running and the e-brake is off, the pedal goes...

Anyone have a vacuum diagram for the Protege with the 626 Manifold. I think I have everything hooked up right, but my idle is really high, and the vacuum reading on the Microtech is in the -15hg to -20hg range (seemed to recall it being closer to -25hg). So I think I have some kind of vac leak...

Does anyone know what the stock fuel injector rates are for the 1.8L (FP) or the 2.0L (FS)? Anyone know why the 1 & 2 injectors are a different color than the 3 & 4 injectors? In my manual, it lists green and purple injectors (for FS motor), but I have an FP motor and my injectors are blue and...

Does anyone have their Protege/Microtech setup to do launch control or Shift w/o lifting. This is something I would really like to setup on my car, but I don't know where to start.

As the title states, I am thinking about selling my 2000 Protege ES which I have built up for FSP, and has done Justin and I pretty well at Nationals the past two years. Although I think I could part it out for more, I'm curious to see if there may be any interest in someone buying the whole car...

I may try to get my car registered in Texas, which means emissions inspection, which means no CEL. Is it possible to get a clean OBD2 read while using the Microtech? I assume I will need to put the stock manifold and catalytic converter on.

Where are you guys mounting the harnesses in a Protege without a rollbar? I bought a Simpson 5-point "Floor Mount" harness, but I'm not sure where is the best place to mount the lap belts and shoulder belts. Its difficult to tell what part of the floor board would actually be acceptable to...

While my Dad was driving the car today, my driver's seat broke. So I suppose its time to replace with some real racing seats. Anyone have a recommendation on a good racing seat that will be comfortable enough to drive to and from events? Also if it is not too expensive that would be nice...

I have had my Microtech for a few months now and recently switched from the stock intake manifold to an ITB setup on my autocross car (2000 Protege 1.8L). I can get the car to perform well for racing- basically all WOT, but I am having a little trouble getting a decent tune for driving the car...
