xDJ DUBx's 03.5 Pure White LX-T

[xDJ DUBx]

They look great on your car. If I had your ride, I'd want at drop that sat at about a quater of an inch above the tire in the front and back. YUM.

 

[mx-p5]

non adjustable. lol

After the look my car has, and looking at the stock ride height of the MSP, i'm affraid i'll have to lower it.....

 

[Falango]

Raching Harts!!!! It's about time!!

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Hell yeah dude, the msps sit high for being a "performance" car.

 

[J_Naoto]

did you raise the rear? it looks perfect

 

[xDJ DUBx]

I was going to but I changed my mind, got 10mm spacers coming so I'll wait until they're on to mess with the rear. I MIGHT raise it a couple centimeters. lol.

Thanks for the compliment J (thumb)

 

[not yellow]

I MIGHT raise it a couple centimeters.

what?! raise??? i can't believe dub just used the word "raise." i didn't think that was even in his vocabulary...

 

[J_Naoto]

a few millimeters lol. i got a new alignment up front so im running less camber and for some reason one side sat a few mm lower than the other. it bothered me so much and took forever to fix.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

I HATE when its unbalanced like that, OCD kicks in, I'll tear it apart and adjust all damn day if I have to.

Z, you gotta have a even drop my brother, if you gotta raise for the better of the stance, raise I will!!



.......only the rear though, the front stays as is

 

[mx-p5]

yeah, no "Bulldoggin" stance

 

[J_Naoto]

booooooost!!!

 

[TWISFM]

BOOOOOOOSSSTTTTTT

 

[xDJ DUBx]

[BadBandar]

hows the manual swap going u slacker!?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Should be ordering my STS package this weekend then the ECU next weekend then I'll be ready, just gotta see if I can get P.E.T.Z. on board

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Dub I think you'll be able to answer this since you're going to be doing it but exactly what are all the parts involved in the manual swap? I'm trying to decide whether it is something I want to look into. I've had plenty of people say just sell the car and get a manual one but that's not the point and you know why. Also, is there some way to search for wrecked proteges in my area?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

-ecu
-engine wire harness from ecu
-engine wire harness from under hood fuse box to engine
-gauge cluster (some autos are different than the MT)
-both half shafts
-brake pedal assy
-clutch pedal assy
-clutch master cylinder
-clutch slave cylinder
-line in between slave and master
-front engine/tranny mount
-drivers side tranny mount
-i think the rear engine mount too
-starter
-thin plate between trans and engine
-entire clutch assy
-flywheel
-may need speed sensor if your MT does not have it or if you have ABS you're fine
-you should replace the windage tray, but i did not. it is missing one mounting tab that goes to the MT tranny
-shifter assy
-the 2 shift rods

As far as finding a wrecked protege, I can't help you there, I just got lucky and was told about mine.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Guess I'll just keep searching for a wrecked one. Don't know where I would store it if I found it though...

rear motor mounts are the same. also, you don't need wiring harnesses if you do a little rewiring with the atx harness

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Do you know exactly what is different? I know abs has something to do with it, which the p5 has.

YAAAA BOOOSTTT....
