If you go to your Local O'Reilly's/Murray's they have a program within there computer that allows them to special order from any of there vendors and order from any of there stores. They have O'Reilly's in Canada and he showed me how he can order it. The guy has a very Modded Talon and he's been trying to hang out with our local club MazdaTeam. They have all kinda a cool ways of getting parts they they don't out right tell you!!!
I was happy to hear that info cause my Project car is a Suzuki samurai, and I was hoping to import a long wheel base one. He actually showed me that he could order me up the LWB frame and body!!

question about this.... I have the 1.6 2000.5 protege and I can't for the life of me get the bolts off was thinking of taking it to the stealership and getting them to do it, but I noticed The Man says the canadian one is better... is this a later model than the one that is currently on my car? I am just experiencing slight power loss and with my mods I figured it would be quicker not slower than when I got it also noticing a funny idle... like 800 then 500 then 800...... ect and when I come to a stop it drops down to almost 200rpm which is kinda sketchy

and now you see why it's retarded to clean this s*** than to just replace it with the BETTAR canadian one and NOT EVER touch it again?

cleaning it = gambling... you just don't know how well you've done it and when it'll fail again
and carbon build up is NOT the *only* reason why it fails

cleaning it is a big waste of time considering how much s*** you have to remove on an MSP to get to it... then having to cut your hands up trying to get the bolts out with a stock rear motor mount under it!
I damn near fell off my chair when some dude suggested to someone who was hundreds of miles away from home with NO tools to just clean his EGR valve at the parts store's parking lot.... yeah it's "easy"... maybe on your ******* P5!

Sorry for the threadjack, but do you know if the europpean version is like the US one or more like the redesigned Canadian one?
Got a part # for the good one?

i can do that in 30 mins, its not that hard.. i do it from the top though.. not the bottom... hell i can damn near have the entire exhaust mani/turbo setup off in 30 mins..
