I just did the auto headlight mod that was in the how to section Thanks to Sea-shell-meg for finding it. Very easy to do, now the lights go off with the ignition.

You say that, but it won't happen...I thought all I would do is an intake...I didn't stop though...although nothing major, it is a lot more than I would of ever thought...

Very nice Antonio. That red valve cover is gonna set the entire engine bay off. Looks great man.
Well today was a long ass day working on the car. Luckily, everything went perfectly and there were no problems with the install at all. I replaced my rear crossmember that had two broken bolts that hold the swaybar brackets. I'm now rocking the MSP rear crossmember that's both better and cheaper. The reinforced MSP crossmember is half the price and is a lot better. All four of the mounting points for the swaybar brackets are bolts instead of having two studs on the protege/p5 one. I have all BRAND NEW hardware for everything and brand new custom endlinks made just like the ones in the how-to thread.
I also used three full cans of rustoleum professional undercoating on the entire undercarriage and wheel wells. The undercarriage looks brand new now and I'm ready for the winter.
Lastly, I installed my new and improved transmission fluid cooler. It's a much better design over the one I had before and I feel much more confident with it on.
Pics will probably come tomorrow but the car feels amazing in the turns and I feel much more at ease with the undercarriage basically rust-proofed.
Its getting high! lol Also vacuumed. Going to wash and wax tomorrow morning.
What's high?
There are only 5 digits displayed. I rolled over 218K earlier this week (drive)

Lol we did learn that the hard way for sure. Glad to know it's on there right now. Anyway, here are the pics. Excuse the dustiness of the cross-member and the rust on the brake parts (didn't wanna spray those with undercoating). I think that cross-member sat in a warehouse for ages.
Endlink
Cooler (I'll get the grille off one day and take a better pic.)
