Hey guys. Been a long time since I even checked these forums. I really lost interest in the mp3 so I stopped modding and stopped reading the boards. I was going to sell it, but last month someone stole my mp3 from my driveway! Anyway, insurance is going to pay it off and I am thinking of an...

I am looking for some webspace to store files for use on message boards and such. I am not looking for webhosting, just file storage with the ability to link to those files. I am looking for 500+ MB of space. Anyone know of a service like this? I tried Xdrive, they offer 500 MB for $9.95...

Finally cranked the new engine last night. It fired right up and idled very good. No smoke or anything. After putting in coolant and testing everything, I went for a test drive. After driving it for 10 minutes, the idle is very rough now. I have a few ideas. Could be a fouled plug, bad...

OK OK, it isn't really missing, just out of my car lol. Picking up new engine Tue. Paid $1009 for it. 20K miles, came outa an automatic 2001. Getting it out was no prob, came right out.

I bought an 86 Corolla fastback for $200 today. It isn't the GTS, but I got a 4AG engine out of an MR2 along with the wiring harness and computer, all for $200, including the car. The body is in great shape. I am gonna drop in the 4AG, pick up a GTS rear end, and use it as my beater/drift car...

Well, a word to the wise, do not use cheap filters for FI. The filter I was running was similar to the HKS ones, you know the low profile design. Anyway, it is basically a piece of foam sandwitched between two metal meshes. Well, the inside mesh on mine decided to break apart, thus sending...

I suck at PS. I managed to get this much done. Can someone finish it up and make it look spiffy? Maybe take care of the reflection off the windshield too. Thanks. <img src=http://home.earthlink.net/~jimbo513/mp3/turbomp3chop.jpg>

Here are a few shots that were taken from the Charlotte meet. Thanks to Funwagon and all the others that sent me pics. <img src=http://home.earthlink.net/~jimbo513/mp3/front.jpg> <img src=http://home.earthlink.net/~jimbo513/mp3/turbomp3.jpg> <img...

I was doing some painting and work on my car today and noticed some of my clamps for my piping were loose. I tightened them really tight and man is it pulling hard. I must have been leaking boost. It is boosting 10 psi now, which I need to quit getting on it until I get a boost controller...

Has anyone ever brought up the idea of a national Protege meet? I am sure we can get a few hundred people from here and protegeclub.com to all meet up somewhere. We can pick a pretty central location and try to limit the drive for everyone to 12-14 hours maybe. What you all think?

Went 4-1 tonight. Here's the list: Sentra Spec V - Win Civic DX spraying 50 shot - Win 2nd Gen Turbo Talon - Win 02 Mustang GT w/ exhaust and intake - Win 02 Mustang GT, runs 13.2's - Loss I was headed out when my boy pulled up in his Mustang. I beat the other one by half a car and I patted...

Raced a buddy last night. He has a Civic Si with some good mods. Header, exhaust, intake, ignition, clutch, some more. He is spraying a 75 shot Zex also. He is pushing well over 200 HP. It was very close. The whole way we were exchanging the lead. I edged him out by like 2 ft at the end...

C'mon man, give us something! Lie to us and tell us you have the prototype unit on your MP3. Tell us you are making 260 whp. Just give us a ray of hope man! Just kidding really, any progress?

Should I get a project car and build it or say **** it and stick with modding the MP3? What would you do? I am considering the following: Nissan 240 S13 Honda CRX Toyota AE86 Corolla Mazda 323 GTX If I get the Nissan I would drop in an SR20 and a really good suspension. Plus I love the S13...

Just got the MS adjustable struts in the other day. They look great, really big and beefy. The rear are 5 way adjustable with a knob on the side. The front are 4 way with a screw type knob on the very top so you can adjust from in engine bay. These plus the GC's should make a great combo. I...

Well, I was playing around with things and decided to hook up the wastegate a diff way. I have the Tial wastegate. I hooked a line from the port on top to the fitting on the compressor. I hooked a line from the side fitting and tee'd into the manifold line, the one my BOV and FMU is on. With...

Just did some hard 3rd and 4th gear runs and got a peak EGT of 780C/1436F. Sounds dead on to me. My probe is in the manifold by the way, on #umm, the one farthest towards the drivers side, about half an inch from cylinder. Anyone know about what this is stoich wise? I know I am in the rich...

OK, not doing a long walk through or anything, just posting a few things you may want to do. 1st, here are a few things you may need: Barbed fittings for the FMU. The fittings on the FMU I got were pipe fittings, meaning they had a thread on them so you could screw a fuel line onto it. You...
