Today I was driving along and then a ticking noise started. It sounded like a large zip tie was hitting the belt/pulley area of the engine. It happened real quick and went away. Thought I ran over a stick or something. It quickly got worse and more consistent. I stopped at the next gas...

Hey guys and gals, need a little help. A little bit of back story real quick. My wife had an 06 Mazda 3 with a non-Bose stereo and manual climate controls. I installed an aftermarket double din, Pioneer head unit and steering wheel interface controller a few weeks ago, and that car just got...

I'm waiting for the last few parts of my fmic kit to come in. I'm doing the diy ebay fmic. Does anyone have pictures of routing the cold pipe off the intercooler around the radiator? How did you get around the a/c drier? Can it be moved without breaking the lines? I will be installing a...

I'm trying to replace my leaky oil feed line going to the stock turbo. I ordered this line and this fitting, thinking that it would attach to the turbo. Maybe it was misunderstanding when I ordered the part, but by looking at it, there is no way that the fitting I ordered is going to fit. I...

Moving out and found some injectors that I bought used a long time ago. They're from an 03 WRX if I remember right. My plans changed and never ended up using them. I'm asking $100 + shipping,if I'm way off let me know. They've been in the closet for about 5 years. One injector is missing an...

I have a pesky coolant leak. I can't tell where it's leaking but I smell coolant when I get out of the car after driving around. I can hear coolant boiling but its hard to tell where it's in the engine bay with all the tinking from the exhaust. The overflow is often empty and the coolant is low...

I haven't been on in a long time, but I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I've been having overheating issues for a while now. In the past my car was overheating all the time. I've since replaced the thermostat, and the radiator cap. It's still overheating but now it seems to only overheat...

About 2 weeks ago my car COMPLETELY died on me driving down the road. When I say completely, I mean the radio even reset itself (as if the car was turned off and I disconnected the battery cables). Has this happened to anyone before (doesn't have to be a protege) I just have absolutely no idea...

Trying something new ... early Christmas shopping! :D Looking for a DSLR for my wife. Found a couple good deals on craigslist but after emailing the sellers, they seem too sketchy to deal with. If anyone has a used one for sale (must be in mint condition) please let me know. The Circuit City in...

I have the split second AFC it's the first version. I recently got a wideband o2 set up from Innovate. I thought I'd be able to get the AFC to datalog the wideband; but I have read that I have to get the 2nd version AFC (is this true). What are all the aux inputs on the first version for if you...

When I installed my bov a year or so ago I took out one of the springs (i think it was the inner spring) and I have no idea where it is. Does anyone have one laying around (uhm) or know where I can buy one? thanks in advance.

I know I haven't been on here in quite some time. Just wanting to get people's opinions. My fiancee and I are both in college. We are planning to get married either late this summer (end of August) or early winter (December). I'll be 22 in April and she will be 21 in July. I want to start by...

I've been posting in the MP3 section, but no luck. Does anyone know how to move the stoppers (located on the rear sway bar, used to keep the sway bar from moving laterally)? I'm trying energy suspension bushings and they are wider than the stock ones and I just need to move the stoppers in about...

How hard is it to get out of a ticket? I just got one last night and I know about ticketclinic.com but I think that $150 to fight a $120 ticket is a little excessive. I've never been to traffic court before, so I have no idea what to expect.
