Hello I'm looking to upgrade the sound system in my Protege5, I already bought a pair of Pioneer 6X8 speakers for the front doors, a wiring kit, and a BOSS subwoofer amp for a small 8" kicker in the trunk. What I am wondering though is whether or not the stock P5 head unit is actually part of...

Hi, I am looking to purchase some forged Pistons and Rods for a turbo setup and are hoping I can get some advice on suppliers. I'm a long way from the U.S. (New Zealand) but shipping is usually easy. Some opinion on brands of rods and Pistons would also be great. Been a long time in the...

Alright guys, so here's a quick back story. I was coming back home on the freeway right after work going roughly around 80mph when my 03 protege lx (FS) MT non-turbo overheated and turned off on me. Since this happened while the car was still in motion, I attempted to start it again while I...

Hey guys, So I recently had to retire my beloved 03 Protege5 (may she rest in peace ), because of severe rust issues. Before trading it in, I removed the OEM spare tire subwoofer. Now, I know it's not the greatest sub around, but I wanted to keep it for my next car because I didn't want to spend...

So i figured like most I'll start this because it'll keep me motivated to keep going with it. Even though i'm a college student I put more money into this car than anything so I'll share the journey. I've already done allot so these recent posts will be from the past to now. Then we'll keep...
