You have a rubbing problem? How is that? You aren't really that low, are you?

cool, let me know. I'll chip in.
I went with a wider tire and I think the wheels have a different offset that pushes out the tire/wheel a little bit.
LOL. Awesome.

I can get a fender roller shipped to me, you'll all have to chip in for the return shipping.

looks like we'll have enough interest to throw something together.
Soo late to this...ps- I love having a Protege. My car is so easy to work on. Well, when it's not rusted. I had an airbag light when I snagged Phens leather seats (and now the Recaros). I just pulled the bulb.
While not verified, I have heard reports that if the airbag light is on, the entire airbag system will not work properly. You can easily swap seats w/o airbags and keep the light off by using a resistor in the connectors. I forgot the resistance value (it's in the FSM), but I think it's 5 ohm. When I swapped in the Sparco's in the P5 I went through great lengths to avoid any issues with the airbags:
1. Disconnected battery and drained all charge in the system (depress brake pedal for a few seconds)
2. Unplugged airbag connection on seat and remove seat
3. Install resistor (I made my own plug)
4. Install new seats
I remember reading somewhere the airbags could go off if there was enough energy in the system, hence all the precaution. I may have some resistors left over if you ever want to try that route.
I'm in on this too!
I need them done was well. should we set something up in early april?
Oh crap. Thanks for the heads up, Jon! I'll look into the service manual tonight when I get home from work and fab something up this weekend. Zoom-zoom-BOOM would suck if they were the airbags going off. heh-heh
ps- Phen and I could have a "Spring Cleaning" meet at the house Saturday, April 2nd. That's the weekend before Mid-Ohio and would work out well. Maybe Marlon can have those nice fellows at SU ship the fender roller again, and we could all mount up our summer wheels, wash/wax, BBQ and all that good stuff. I can post up a thread if there is interest?

FS-DE cam question, with the Haltech to set up sequential injection I need to switch to a 626 cam gear and sensor. My question is couldn't I go with an aftermarket adjustable cam gear then instead of a stock 626 cam gear?
I read somewhere along time ago that the reason MSP's don't have after market cam gears available because they have multiple pick-ups (things for the sensor, whatever they're called) on the the gears And the aftermarket ones have one which could work with the 626 sensor. Can't find where I read that though.

Greetings from Vancouver, BC. I left Atlanta at 4am EST and got to my hotel at 4pm EST and got paid for 12 hrs of travel time. Booyah!
What a strange change in weather.. It was 65 deg when I left Atlanta, 26 deg in Chicago, and a balmy 46 deg and rain in Vancouver. The scenery is nice and if the weather is decent this weekend I plan a hike in the mountains. I forgot my camera so no pictures. My bad.
Seeeeeeeya at The Mitty~

Just do it and we'll bring out our Corsa Car care bucket as well. Let me know, so I can get the roller shipped out asap.
