Funkalicious21's Protege5 Build/Progress Thread~!

just make sure the connections are wired up right and the fans will turn on eventually
whenever i wired up my slim fans, they didn't turn on for forever and i had no idea why,
soldered the connections, and made sure the plug was plugged in and they work fine now...it really does take them a while to kick on though

For the fan's i soldered everything up and i used the oem connection to make sure i had it right. Yeah, i hope they'll turn on. i am a bit worried about it. The mishimoto radiator gets super hot. XD

Thanks guys! I feel like i can use all the help i can get. Im glad i still have people watching this thread. I was almost worried. XD It's always pushes me to have this baby on the road and take some pictures. I really liked being there with everyone and talking about their love for their cars.

Ac fan kicks on when ac comp turns on and the other fan I believe doesn't kick on until 205 deg

my curiosity on the great news is gonna kill me

 

[funkalicious21]

Oh shoot...Sorry guys! School just recently started and that's where most of my time has gone to. I got the car running perfectly! I'll put a video when i get a chance.

There are a few problems: Cluster, 5th gears slips out (still diagnosing the problem), and speed sensor. Other than that. it feels great.

Im boosting all the way now and it pulls HARD! Hopefully i'll be back on the SLAMMED section again. =)

 

[shane02pro5]

5th /reverse gear selector hub is in backwards can be accessed without pulling the tranny.

Damn Hung, the car is looking good, looking forward to seeing it in person again!

hahah...i'll do it soon bro. School has been keeping me busy. I'm reading like it's my hobby. XD

 

[civickilla03]

s*** i hear you, i barely have time for maintenance, lol

[not yellow]

daaaang, looking good! how's it running?

 

[J_Naoto]

yesss

 

[funkalicious21]

Sorry for not updating guys! Just really busy with school, work, and other priorities. It's been kicking my butt lately, but summer is only around the corner!

Im still having issues with the cluster. No reading for how fast i am going or anything else. Transmission, transmission, transmission. I'm having major issues with it, 5th slips, 3rd and 2nd grind (once in awhile). In the process of investigating the problem. I hope it's only the fluid levels, very unlikely. Next is possibly the clutch, and then may the gears. XD Won't know until i try it out.

As for updates for the car. These are the things i've put in lately.

Installed new set of stainless steel brake lines for both the front and the rear.

Installed the under the hood cover into the DGM carbon hood.

Installed a new Optima Redtop 35 and the whole ABS system from the MSP.
Also an update of what the engine bay currently looks like.

Installed the HKS Turbo Timer, Amp, sub, speakers, SSFTC (Hidden)
Its nice to have my ALARM and SOUND SYSTEM back! great relief (thanks CIRCUIT!)
The HKS and the SSFTC still need to be wired up but are in in place where they need to be.

I cut the tip off of the 3" R&D Thermal exhaust because it's too long for the p5. It was hanging out like 6" out. Looked really awkward. O.O

the car looks great, i want that hood! is that the dgm carbon fiber spoiler?
