I'd swap my 3 bumper and hood for a speed3 bumper and hood. But they didn't do the speed in my colour (gunmetal blue) so the paintshop would be involved. I like the MS look!

every 5000, this is what the book recommends. The salesperson said 7500 to me too but the book says 5k or 3k for severe conditions. (the 2.5 might be different...) I take it to the dealer, they do it free. They advertise and use mobil1. anyways, change your oil *now* because it's always a good...

I rented an alfa giulietta that did this as well... I think a lot of dual clutches do this. It was not clunky feeling but you could definitely hear it downshifting when almost stopped.

it must be reset every time power is disconnected, the owner book tells you how if it still doesn't work, this happened to me there is a service bulletin for it, you have to take it to the dealer so they can lube up the window track. there is a sensor so if you auto-up with your arm or neck or...

You call it a protege. In England it is called a 323. To OP try searching for protege, you might get more/better hits.

Hmm that is pretty nice. Alright. Maybe I'll look again :) The only other thing I really want to do is get some MS3 wheels powdercoated dark bronze. Maybe in the spring.

It's something I've looked into. It seems like a good idea at first but then there are several things keeping me from doing it. 1) AM radio reception. "slim digital ballast" sounds like a noisy little bugger to me. 2) reliability/longevity. See above WRT OEM parts vs. aftermarket. For my job I...

I found out that the OEM kit comes with some wiring and a relay as well. So it is definitely worth it so I don't have to jerry rig anything lol. I tried aftermarket fogs on my old 323 protege they were good hella projector foglights but after 4 years the relay had crapped out so the foglights...

If you have an AT one is open because the tranny cooler is behind it. Can't remember which side it is.

These are oem fogs you get a kit from the dealer to install yourself. OEM part = warranty. It's about 300 USD for the lights and 40 for the switch. Or maybe the fogs were $340 and the switch was extra? If your dealer is anything like mine they will either charge an arm+leg for it or do it for...

I was thinking about the 18" for my sedan but decided to wait until spring. 4-500 seems fair to me. I would want the TPMS though. I suppose a fair price for a set of 4 OE tpms sensors is about $80 or so?

the cheetah cut at :18 is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen. I love cheetahs. well, the coolest thing in a car commercial anyways.

oh oh, I got it! Kitty ears! ^_^ thanks, there is one tiny airbubble in the paint but it's not worth pulling it off to respray. This paint was on the front of my dad's suburban for several years and was pretty much bombproof. If it flakes off I guess I'll have to do the bleach thing... but yeah...

So the switch is part of the turn signal lever and you are supposed to replace that as well, was that part difficult?
