I figured I would go for a ride before I install my header. Went to several location in my area. Check them out.

[1FASTMP5]

[tonkabui]

silly mike! that's the intakooler!

 

[Leop5]

Ohhhhh very nice!, car looks good, so that "intercooler" looking air intake works better than the INJEN or AEM...or other custom crap?


Keep it up luv the car.

Don't know, haven't Dynoed yet. Yea its an "Intakooler" you can say like the ones off of the Acura Integras. I moded mine to fit my car. All I want is colder air. I am going to dyno after the Header install to get an overall average of all my mods. I should have dynoed one by one but oh well.

Throttle response stayed the same, Used the biggest tubes I could find. As for the dual, yes it is a working dual. Its dual tip dual exhaust. Now that I am putting in the header it is going to be strait pipe all the way back with no cats, No emissions required here in my city cuz we are so close to the border, canister type muffler(no glass pack cuz that stuff will burn out eventually, and strait out both tips. Free flow all the way, no restrictions except for the curves to the tips but its not bad. That is why I want to have it dynoed after the header goes in.

what, dead weight. I used to have a cone filter in the fender well before I got the front mount Filter, didn't feel power lose or anything when I put it in the front mount. I like it.

How do you find the M3 mirrors? Are they cheap in quality? How is the fitment? I was thinking of getting some cause of the led. I need something on the side to indicate i'm turning as the 2002 Protege5 doesn't have anything and I get some dirty looks from people sometimes.

Look, I am not gonna post up any funny faces or make and dump coments. I overall like the car except for your front bumper. I think the bumper is just way to much and leans to far foward and down for some reason. But anyway, I think the rear bumper and the side skirts are nice, the dual exhaust was kind of hard to see beucause the photo's were so small. The rims are sweet and your paint job is a beauty.
Anyway good work on the car and keep it going. I just don't feal the front end.

the car is different. front bumper is not my style and either is the "interfooler". i hate when i see cars with them

They are ok. I got the LED's in blue by mistake. They are powerd mirrors but turn to slowly. Fitment was nice only thing I modified were the three posts from the backing plate in the rear where it bolts up. I cut them a bit cuz they were to long and let air in from the sides of the bracket. I don't have a complaint about them though. I bought them on ebay about a 2 years ago.

I noticed that too. I tried pushing out the bumper with brackets at the bottom but that was all I could go. Also when I lowered my car, I lowered the front more than the rear cuz the springs were cone shaped in the rear. Yea I did a ghetto lowering and am now paying for it, need new struts. I should have bought lowering springs. I was thinking of the EIBACH's. The 1.8 inch drop to make it all even. I was thinking of buying the Buddyclub 2 front for it but doesn't look good with the rear and the skirts.

Anyone selling MP3 struts please let me know. I am interested in buying some. PM me.
