Lewis7789's 2003 Protege5 build thread

Man, that's expensive. Makes sense, just a lot of money

Got some stuff done today. I relocated the relocated battery again. I grounded it on a seat belt bolt (and ground off the paint) and everything is bolted in and I tested continuity with my multimeter.

I also pulled the stock center housing to swap the new one in. Water temp on top, oil press on left and oil temp on right. My wideband will go over the steering wheel like last time. I also made and glued in the stereo block-off plate.

For s**** and giggles I mocked up the intake since I won't be running a MAF with the MS I can run a shorty intake. I will probably run it over to the drivers fender and route an air tube up to it for cool air. But I'm not hip to cold air intakes since my Civic hydro-locked.

Whats worse is that the eyes are directed towards him.

That's going to creep me out while driving now... Thanks, Cres.

#2, that's how I roll.

So I'm pretty sure I have sold the Speed3 seats to a friend. Going to put that money towards some Corbeau Forza's, brackets and 5-point harnesses. Why you ask? Because rice car.

You need to have that mouth made into a vinyl and apply it to your radio block-off plate. I like your gauge layout. I was looking at my dash today thinking about doing a custom Subaru style gauge pod up top, if I ever KL swap/boost/actually need gauges....

Might I recommend Sparco Sprint V?! Exceedingly comfortable, FIA approved and reasonably priced....

I'm pretty sure my friend has those in his Miata and they were too tight for my fat ass. Another friend has the Corbeau's in his FC and they fit juuuuust right. But I'm always open to suggestions.

 

[CR3 Motorsports]

Sparcos for sure. =)

 

[Cleverfrog]

Sparcos for sure. =)

[Lewis7789]

And why?

 

[Protege03ak46]

Just buy Sttus and forget about it.

 

[THE Phen]

Because he can supply them? Just a guess.
