    My 8!

    That's about half-way through detailing it last weekend. I also had window tint put on since then. Since I just picked the car up a week ago I have been noticing and taking care of problems I come across but a few of them I am stuck on. When I put my transmission into gear when I am stopped...

    New old guy

    I hydro-locked my Protege5 two months ago and now I got a 2004 RX8. Spending the first two days just detailing it, but I am already going to order the racing beat exhaust system. This car I bought has a check engine light on for a catalytic converter problem so I figure I am going to upgrade...

    Ground Control Coilovers HELP!

    What up? I haven't been on the boards in long time, and I haven't been underneath my car in longer. I installed some Ground Control Coilovers like 3 years ago. I want a smoother ride. I know they are adjustable, but would it really make that much difference? I also have tokico illuminas and...

    DG Motorsports Carbon Fiber

    I ordered some carbon fiber interior pieces from DG Motorsports about a month ago. Today I received only two pieces of what I ordered, and not only that but they are both in horrible condition. Is this normal? (lol?) Anyone else with similar or different experience? I am about to send them back...

    I'm Stunned!!!!!

    I just drove past my old high school and I saw a Porsche AutoCross Event going on in full tangent! First. The school is located in a residential area, right smack in the middle of houses. Second. The blacktop is BRAND NEW. Third. I couldn't hear their cars AT ALL. Which makes me think they...

    Officially signed my Air Force contract

    I have a great idea...

    Ok, this is about as off topic as it gets. You know those things you hear that are just really stupid ideas. I heard a few things today that really got me fired me up. For example, you can buy a computer with a built in subwoofer. That is wrong on so many levels. First there is the issue of...

    Rich As Fu....

    My car is running rich as hell. It's got to be killing performance. What can I do? I'm talking like you will get high off your ass from the fumes sitting at a stop light for too long type rich. lol

    Mechanical, electrical, wierd questions

    when I spool up my car, or revv it rather as quick as I can with full throttle - being a P5 with mods you know it revs hella-fast that way, I get a squeek as if it's a squeeky belt as it revvs up. If I revv up any other way it's fine, and even full acceleration is fine. But when it's freely...

    Extremely Surprised

    I bought my 2003 Protege5 2 1/2 years ago for $10,500 and today according to kbb it's still worth $9,685. That's only a $815 loss of value. Is there any thing even comparable to holding that kind of value? It almost seems unbelievable.

    I'm starting to hate driving

    I was behind the wheel 7 times today in short trips that totaled less then 40 minutes all together. In that short time at least 10 very stupid things happened, all different drivers, all different times of the day, all during my different short 5 minute driving experiences. None of those things...

    Breather Hose Popped Off

    The breather hose between on my valve cover popped off the intake. First is there any reason this would happen other then just a loose fit, possible back pressures that would blow it off? AND it's been maybe 2 weeks since I looked under the hood. Is there any problems other then it sucking in...

    93 octane

    I always use 87 octane but I have tried 93 octane once or twice a long time ago. When I did, it made the car very rough and I had idle problems. The car has modifications since then, and I know the MP3 ECU requires 93 octane. Should I try 93 octane again? Also if the majority response comes back...

    Protege5 Boating!!

    I just took my car boating in Pinellas County. It's raining SO BAD here and our drain systems and grasses aren't used to all this rain. But yea... no other way to describe it other then I WENT BOATING IN MY P5~! I think I should add another outboard motor to it though.
