So ive just bought a 1992 GTR Familia, but unfortunately the turbo bearings are shot. What is the best turbo upgrade i can replace it with and will aftermarket GTX manifolds bolt on and be in the same place? Cheers

Ok, I have a few questions that I know i'm not the only one who wants to know but they sound kinda stupid. Cobb AP- i know its a tuner, but how does it work, what do you have to do, anything you need to know before you get it? Gauges- When putting gauges in your car what all do you have to...

Hey new guy here, I just bought myself a Mazdaspeed Protege, nice little car. However I find it lacking in the boost and power I'm after, so I'm planning on putting a T3 in it. I had one on my Dodge Stealth that I sold a few months prior to joining the service. Now I've never worked on a Mazda...

The parts came off a 1995 Protege ES and will be going on my 1998 Protege LX sometime this spring or early summer after I clean them up a...

I have a 2008 grand touring with factory 6 disc changer 5.1 Bose Centerpoint. I would like to upgrade to factory navigation. Can it be done? Is the wiring harness in place? Thanks, Bill

I blew one of the factory speakers within a month after getting my car :( This wonderful forum had the best information and advice, what little there was. One of the Geek Squad installers at Best Buy offered to take the door panels off and figure out what could be done. It's shocking how...

I do alot of stop light to stop light drags with some people where i live, and i was trying to do some upgrades that might increase my 0-40 times, and other upgrades that would benefit the way the car feels overall. Im a college student, so that tells you my budget already! Im not looking to be...

Hello everyone... First of all I would like to thank all users for posting so much usefull info here. (hump) I'm planning to purchase by next month the GT3071R upgrade kit from ATP Turbo, including 3" downpipe option. I'm not new to mods so I kind of know what I'm getting myself into.(screwy) I...

A little bit of an intro. I'm 19 years old and own a 1998 Mazda Protege LX. 1.5L DOHC (Z5) and auto tranny (sad1). So far I have done minor appearance work and put on a short intake with parts from Autozone. I have big plans for this car but a tiny bank account, unfortunately. I am also a member...

So I have had my Protege5 for about a year and a half now and I loved it then and still love it now. I haven't done much to it so it is pretty much stock. I have heard that the best "bang for your buck" upgrade for the Protege5 is doing the suspension (springs, struts and rear sway bar). My...
