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

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.

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.

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
