explain submarine out???sorry..I'm an idiot

 

[Tommy1005]

sliding out from under the harness.....thus the submarine strap in the 5-point harnesses, or atleast that's what I've always heard it refered to as.

o alrighty yeah that seems pretty good. thanks for the help. hey heres a quick question, what do sway bars to? ive seen them in practically every car in import magazines.

 

[Tommy1005]

sway bars tie the underneath of the car, more specifically the bottom of the suspension together giving the chassis extra stiffnes, therefore increasing the cornering ablility and reducing body roll. i.e.- stiffer sway bars = less roll

A Sway Bar ties the left side to the right side. As the car wants to roll around a corner the inside tire is pusshed up, the second tire is forced up as well and the car stays "More Level" less body roll

o i c so wat about a strut bar? wat do those things do? o and by the way, i dont really want a mazda 3. theyre nice cars but theyre more money and plus, the protege is well.....................more special. u definetely dont see as many mazdaspeed proteges as a mazda3. the msp is more mmy type of car. i also think u get more from the msp than the 3.

stiffen the chassis via the upper strut mounts.

also, to clarify more on sway bars, the increase your effective spring rate in turns, while not hindering it when driving straight. in other words, softer while driving on straight bumpy roads and stiffer in the corners

Let Us Know How It Goes!

ive been wondering. would any parts for the regular protege fit the mazdaspeed protege? wouldnt any of the parts for the engine fit since both cars have the same kind of engine?

 

[jred321]

yes, many parts from the regular protege fit

Many part fit however, the radiator isn't the same and there are many diferences with the intake system as well. Most suspension parts are identical, except the spring sets come in P5 and Sedan becauise of the weight diference. Many people use MSP springs on the P5 to get a lower ride...

o alright thanks for the clearing up
