xDJ DUBx's 03.5 Pure White LX-T

[Scorch03]

Dub, you used to have tockio blues on your car with the rear drum brakes right?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Nope. When I had the skunks, I just rolled on the stocks and blew em then got the BCs.

Why are you askin?

 

[Scorch03]

I'm putting in MSP springs and I need a new strut and the MSP ones are cheaper at the local places so I figured why not do both the rears now and it will even sit on the perch right. But im not sure if maybe the drum brakes or something like that change something.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Still not sure why you're asking me if I had them before though? lol.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Because you used to have drums on the rear.....

 

[Scorch03]

Because you used to have drums on the rear.....

yup

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Oh, if they would work or not? They should...

BCs are all the same for 3rd gen proteges, no matter if its a p5, msp or 99 so all other shocks for our cars should work the same.

 

[Scorch03]

Thats what i though but now i can't find anything for sure. I was thinking Jeg had them but he hasn't been around today.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Yeah, he does. I'm 99% positive they'll work, like I said above. ha.

greg, can you throw up a list of all the things you needed to do the 5 speed swap.??

 

[xDJ DUBx]

You should know Damian, you did it before me!

Front rotors, front hubs, front calipers w/ brake lines, rear rotors, rear hubs, rear calipers w/ brake lines, all 4 rear lateral links, e-brake cables. That should be it.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Whoops! 5spd, not 5lug. Ok hold on...

Trans, half shaft, rear mm bracket, starter, driver side axle, metal piece in between trans and motor, flywheel, clutch, clutch alignment tool, side mm, clutch line, ecu, engine harness(or attempt to splice up the ATX one), brake pedal, shifter, 2 shift linkages.

I THINK thats all of it.

[xDJ DUBx]

My brain starts working before my eyes finish reading. ha.

Updated post, I don't remember anything else so that should be it. Oh, you might need to wire in the clutch lock out too.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

StealthWyvern is interested in a possible fmic trade, my setup for his perrin. The perrin is def nicer than my setup but I think that fmic is too large for my setup. He wants to get rid of it cause of the lag but I think he's all stock except for that...

i thought it would take more parts than that to do the swap...i am gonna start gathering the parts listed here to do the same swap...man thanks, for putting the part list on here.

I bet others are looking to do this too...

forgot clutch petal

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

so with the clutch pedal assembly, were there already connectors in your stock harness to attach to the sensors on the clutch/brake pedals??

and the clutch line, did you have to run a totally new one from the master cylinder?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

lol, duh, clutch pedal too. Neox was talking about making a how to, gonna throw him a pm and see if he could get something up in detail.

The brake pedal was cool, but there was no sensor for the clutch pedal so we wired one in. It's only one pos and one neg, we just had to figure out the right pin for the pos.

The clutch line detaches from the master cylinder and bolts up just fine, it taps the side of the master cylinder, mine had a little cover over the tap and already had a hole cut in the firewall. Mazda base design FTW!
