hey guys i went on www.onlinemazdaparts.com to see how much it would cost to buy the oem parts and it coast 800 with out shipping.
the parts are
1. front engine mount
2.rear engine mount
3. passenger side engine mount
4. left control arm
5. right control arm
6. valve cover gasket


i think i am just going to by the awr 4 engine mount kit for 425

http://protegegarage.com/1690-awr-complete-four-piece-mount-set-99-to-03-protege.html

cause the oem ones are 342 with shiping too

then buy the lower control arms and valve cover gasket

witch the lower control arms are 250 dollors each one and valve cover gasket is 30 bucks

 

[rar40941]

wait if i just need the bushing for the lower control arm that's all i need to replace it right cause that's what the mechanic said

 

[rar40941]

I think I am going to get the awr engine mount kit and corksport urethane bushing for the control arms and get the valve cover gasket some where local and the spark plugs and wires from some where local too

hey guys i am going to do the work my self. i am not going to do my timing belt,water pump, and thermostat. the work i am going to do is the spark plugs, valve cover gasket, lower control arm bushings, awr engine mounts and radiator flush and change the hoes.

 

[tweety2300]

Haha change the hoes... made my morning

 

[hat1018]

Don't change hoes just get more hoes. Pimp gotta get his stable together. LOL!

 

[tweety2300]

lol on all seriousness though in order to do the timing belt you have to pull the valve cover so if you plan on doing the valve cover you may as well do the timing belt and water pump its not hard you just have to make sure the timing marks are lined up right. theres a very well written how too on here on how to do it

 

[RicoP5]

lol damn your hoes got old bro? lol jk jk

subd

 

[justanothermp5]

I would leave the timing belt up to a professional...if his automotive knowledge is anything like his grammar, that could turn out pretty bad.

 

[RicoP5]

ya timing belt take to a shop.

 

[repthemazdas]

timing belt is easy..... but like justanothermp5 said lol

 

[iamthewheelman]

^ I thought you left lol

 

[rar40941]

Well I have heared the timing belts are easy.I just really don't want to **** with that s***
