    Hart drilled and slotted rotors installed

    Just an update. My son has been daily driving this thing for some time now and everything is fine. The finish is still fine too, no rusty looking mess yet.

    New to the forum/ engine swap

    If it's a real FS-ZE you need to be running premium fuel also.

    2003 MP5 Transmission slip 2/3 Several codes. 2003 MP5 HELP! Please click and comment

    Actually a coolant temp sensor malfunction can cause all sorts of driveability issues. If fluid is full and looks good, I'd start with that.

    Fs-ze swap

    I am 2 hours south of you MrGiggles in Mountain Home. My son's FS-Ze swap is also running just fine on the stock ECU. You will need to run premium fuel though because of the higher compression.

    Creaking front end noise on acceleration from full stop and deceleration at low speed

    We just had a noise similar to whatt you describe on my son's P5. It was worn out front wheel hub bearings.

    Hart drilled and slotted rotors installed

    Pics on the car. The rotors came in fully coated and the pads wear it off the braking surface. The rest is supposed to keep looking good.

    Hart drilled and slotted rotors installed

    Well, my son's P5 had a nasty shimmy while braking due to a warped front rotor. All pads looked good but I figured if we gotta do brakes let's just do all of them. After reading some good reviews on a couple other forums I decided for the money we'd give them a go...

    Automatic transmission quit working after fs-ze swap

    My sons P5 has the FS-ZE swap complete WITH auto transaxle and it works just fine on the stock OBD2 ECU. Have been thinking about having it done by JET Performance though to get the most out of it. After the swap we had trans issues as well but ended up being the shift position switch at the...

    Strut Replacement Options.

    Just did this a while back on my son's P5. There really is not hardly any preload on these at all as stated above. If it wasn't for having to hold the old shaft with pliers from spinning I think I could have compressed with one hand and removed the nut with the other. Other vehicles have lots of...

    Protege 5 2003 2.0L - Heater Blower not working

    I just went through this. You'll need to pull the HVAC controls out to access the blower switch. This means unhooking a cable above and to the right of the gas pedal (move the vent, defrost, selector and you'll see it). There is a little tab on the plastic you have to push in so the cable eyelet...

    02 Protege autotransmission 152K miles loud squeal today when placed in gear!

    I've been inside several different automatics and can't think of anything that could possibly squeal. Maybe howl or rub or grind but not squeal. Check your belts and pulleys over real good, maybe you have an idler or a/c clutch trying to lock up on you.
