[Snacks McGee]

You can't leave it where it is at...you got to unscrew the thing and move the whole thing.

[Matthew]

damn so i post a pic in this thread, and you refer to yesterdays thread (which i posted my pic in), and there you refered to another older thread (where i posted the same goddamn pic lol)

[Snacks McGee]

Yeah...it saves a lot a work...and I get most of the credit for helping someone out. Lol! Just kidding. I know you just like to post pics your clean ass engine bay. :D

[Matthew]

lol its DIRTY there! i gotta save that pic cause now i just installed the blue catch can from vic (pirana)

[SpEeDyDuK]

thats true, Matthew, your engine bay is pretty clean (more than pretty its like beautiful!) haha

[Matthew]

thanks, gotta post some pics of the new coolant catch can too

[Snacks McGee]

Did you find a place for the coolant reservoir okay???

[nitelite]

that does look pretty D@mn good! so is the injen cai the best to choose from out of intakes? or is there another to select from?

i am REALLY looking to get a new intake and muffler. sites and prices are appreciated! (^_^)

[SpEeDyDuK]

go to ptuning.com

they have come great stuff and the injen CAI is free shipping i think!

another place is corksport.com

[SpEeDyDuK]

Hey Matthew, didja put your O2 censor in between the CAI?? and do you have a Bi-pass valve?

[SpEeDyDuK]

do you guys think i can fit a mazdaspeed turbo/intercooler in my protege? i looked up my engine type (2.0L DOHC 16-valve 4 cylinder) and the mazdaspeed engine type (2.0-liter FSD DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine) so do you guys think the turbo will fit??

[Matthew]

i put it in the middle and no i dont have a bypass...yes the turbo will fit in the car, but youll need more shit than just the turbo itself

[SpEeDyDuK]

sweet, but what kind of "shit" do i need??

-thanx matthew for helping me so much...i hope im not a menace or nething.....

[Matthew]

no of course not...about the turbo, you would be better askin in the FI forum, cause im not expert on turbos, and dont want to give you the wrong info...

[SpEeDyDuK]

ok thanx matt (do you mind me calling your matt?)

on a sidenote, what things have you done to your car??

[Matthew]

no you can call me matt.

wow, thats nice....i wish i could do that stuff...is your P5 a 03 model?

[SpEeDyDuK]

does adventon.com accept money order??

[tonkabui]

how do i keep my engine bay looking so snazzy like that? inevitably, it gathers a thick caky layer of tucson dirt. it's damn annoying. will simple green work? i was gonna use carb cleaner, but that means i have to stop by the shop, and that means i have to drive. and that can't happen since i am not registered yet. FRIGGIN CA DMV!!!! DIEEEEE!!!!!

[Matthew]

i spray it down with the hose when i wash my car, and normally wipe it down with meguires in between wax spray stuff every couple of days.

my p5 is an 03 model, and im assuming adventon accepts money orders.

[SpEeDyDuK]

sweet, thanx man
