What have you done to your P5 today?

[HKPRO5]

Just general looking around the car. Check the oil, check the endlinks. (need to replace fronts) Also need to do a boost leak test. I can hear some whistling under boost.

Other than that everything is A OK.

Picked up an MSP ECU and replacement j-pipe studs and nuts

I'm buying my friends Gram Lights. 18x7.5 usually look weird on Protege's but I dig it.

I don't like 18's on Protege's, but they work. Lets see some off the grass shots. You need a front lip now to balance it out.

 

[RicoP5]

officially on with the right tires. cleaned it today too. next is hid fogs. recaro seats then need to get some stuff repainted thats fadded and peeling off

 

[CheeseHelmet]

Stared at the rust today, I sure hope POR-15 can fix it...

 

[reut1]

i just noticed my rust beginning on my rear quarter panels. need to do something to keep it from getting any worse.

Circuit, I agree that 18's look a little weird on Protege's but I like these wheels. And I had a JDP replica lip that got ripped off with a failed e-brake 180'. I've got an Accord lip in the garage but I haven't felt like modding it to mount it yet.

After 3 months, finally got around to seeing what the rattle was in my driver side rear wheel. One of the brake pad clips is missing...lol

Trying to find one so I don't have to buy a whole new set of brakes, there's plenty of life left in these.

 

[HKPRO5]

Autozone has them. I just picked up a set a few months ago.

 

[Josue6WGN]

Awesome...thanks!

I'm glad I'm not the only one with parts sitting in the garage..

Nice.

Installed Corksport J-pipe and fixed my mid-pipe rattling against the crossmember (I put the hanger though the center hole on my CorkSport urethane hangers LOL).

Also installed a set of BC coilovers on an S13.

 

[speedracr79]

was wondering if any of you have a protege5 emblem laying around that you dont need. lmk

 

[GlowstickNinja]

Anyone debadged their protege? How much did it cost to get the holes filled?

Oh BTW

Got new rotors and pads on the rear, painted the calipers.

Installed simota CAI

Fixed exhaust leak and decided I need an sls midpipe.

Changed oil and filter,

flushed coolant,

Replaced Manual Transaxle oil

relocated coolant overflow bottle as per CAI install


Did quite a bit this weekend! I will post pics as soon as I get home from work. (headbang)(headbang)

Over the weekend, I was able to install the MP3 ECU and TWM short shift kit. The ECU was not bad at all getting in, and the power difference is very noticeable. Though, when I first when to start the car after installation, the stock alarm freaked out and I had a to try a couple of more times, but no issues since. The TWM kit on the other hand, was quite difficult due to the very small work space, the number of small bits connecting the new shifter to the linkage, and over need to just have the car up on a lift instead of being on my back.

Over all, the end result of both is excellent. The car feels somewhat stronger and the heavier shift weight gives it a more sporty feel.

 

[o.g.sk8er]

wait...wha? are you turbo'd?

Are you going to be boosted? Or did you mean MP3 ECU? MSP ECU on an NA P5 should lose power and run crazy pig rich

 

[boostedprotege]

i would hope he didn't mean msp ecu on a NA p5

I'm glad I'm not the only one with parts sitting in the garage..

I have plenty of parts sitting in my back room/garage. a couple of motors, tranny, and 4 shelves full of other parts, some CF and suspension all that good stuff.
