Make sure those endlinks are super tight in the front. Retardedly tight.
 
I have those Endlinks and I get an occasional clunk in front. Going to be changing my sway ar bushings to poly and see if that helps cause the clunking just appeared out of no where.
 
I have the Ford Escape front endlinks and don't have any clunks. I tightened them with an impact though. Are you sure you got the correct year, Rico? I know one version is longer so it could be clunking on your lower control arm.

I ordered my JDM KLDE this morning. Boom!
 
i ordered the year u told me to. and the clunk has been there before these links. hense only reason i changed them was thinking the oem links were bad. but well does not look like that was the problem smh

Lights came in today. Installed without the harness, but forgot the change the factory 15A fuses so they blew immediately. Then, I was stumped why they weren't working. Had an epiphany and made the fix. Sadly, I didn't have any 20A fuses on hand, so I had to go with 25A for now. I think I'm going to attempt to use the harness for the fogs. I'll get pictures up later tonight when the sun decides to stop being a bastard.

55w kit without projectors is painful. When I first installed them in my car, the reflection from the speed limit signs were brighter than on coming traffic.

Projectors are in the future... eventually. I like bright though. Makes my ADD go apeshit!
 
moved it from one side of the street to the other. too hot to drive in it with the damn A/C turning on and off. saw that my reservoir tank was completely empty which threw me off because it was just topped off less than a month ago. i must have a leak somewhere because it's definitely not oily.

That sounds like an electrical fire waiting to happen...

If the stock fuse can't handle the load then I really doubt that the stock wiring will do any better. You should be running additional power and ground wires to compensate for the increased load.

fixed my AEM issue and the car now runs with everything plugged in. Had to trace every wire and pin to make sure it was wired properly..

My a/c goes in and out on fan speed two. I've just been too lazy to fix it. This is a common problem on the protege and an easy fix. You removed the radio surround and fix the fan connect wire into the back of the fan speed selector switch. If the wire is pushed in far enough it wont trigger the a/c. I hope you have an easy issue like this and not a more physical problem under the hood. I just now got my a/c running 3 weeks ago. Didn't realize it until it got hot but my low pressure line had been busted and I ended up having a custom line made
 
Been thinking for a long time on different ways to mod my headlights without looking rice. Here are some badass Mazda6 headlights I found.

Do yourself a favor and mute the video before playing it!
