    The new vehicle

    Here you guys go. I've been spending a lot of time with this, after I got my coilovers installed on the Protege. Heh. Still got a bunch of stuff slated to happen with the P5, but it's taking a hiatus for a bit, to let my funds recover. =) Work only pays me so fast, and I can apparently...

    Perl Displacement Calculator

    I don't know why I wrote this, but I did it a long time ago, and I remember having an intention that it was going to be used on some web page I was writing, but that just goes to show you that I've totally become distracted from that. =) Anyway, I might put it up somewhere at some point, but...

    Take 2: Second Head Under the Knife

    Well, since I'm burning oil like crazy, I pulled my old head, and plopped on my spare. Anyway, that's fine. The valve seals aren't as far gone as the ones on the head that has now become my spare. The spare had undergone some light porting, polished exhaust runners and CCed chambers, been...

    WTB: O2 / Lambda Sensor

    Hey, there, guys. I'm just looking for a stock used front O2 sensor. In a pinch, the rear sensor would work, too. Mine's taken a dump, finally, after many miles of hard driving, so any leads or offers would be helpful. =) Thanks!

    Teh flat_black P5, y0

    Not much to say about it... It may look stock, but... Well, let's just say that it's not. Heh. Let me know what you think.

    I hate polished stainless...

    So, I unpolished mine. Brushed SS OBX header. Sweet. A little Scotch-Brite and some elbow grease, and I think it worked out nicely.

    Header Design/Cam Questions

    Wow... My brain is about to explode, here... This barely makes sense, really. I'm using this calculator: http://www.slowgt.com/Calc2.htm#Header To determine, to some degree, how I'm going to build my header (Yes, I'm building my own, and I'm almost done collecting the parts I need. So nyeah...

    Independant Throttle Bodies (ITB's/IRTB's)

    I just ordered a set of 50mm throttle bodies. I'll be building up a new manifold with the stock injector locations, and a custom fuel rail made of extrusion stock from here: http://www.rossmachineracing.com/extrusion.html Then have the throttle bodies off short runners, then the stacks off of...

    How-To: VTCS Removal and Porting

    Hey, folks. I was going to originally post this in N/A Tech, but this benefits both forced induction folks as well as the N/A crowd. Rather than crowd a thread with this information, I wrote it into a website, and you can take a peek at it there...

    My P5... On the big screen!

    Well, then! I was just watching a film crew film a clip out back of my work place. The movie is Fever Pitch, and will be released in '05! Here's the website: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332047/ Anyway, they filmed the whole scene right in front of my car; A black P5 with the NH license plate...

    Pics of my oil pressure gauge

    Eigh... I not only don't like the quality of the pictures, but the gauge mount doesn't look as good there as I had hoped. I'm going to mount it on the A pillar instead, with a different mount the gauge came with. Hopefully it'll look a little better once I do that! I'll try and get a GOOD...

    FS: Turbo; 1988 FC3S Turbo II HT18S-S2

    This is an HT18S-S2 turbo, as pulled from a JDM '88 RX7 Turbo. According to the person who sold it to me, it has less than 10k miles, and from just looking at it, I could beleive it. It looks great, and is nice and clean, inside and out. When I was rebuilding the first engine, I put this on just...

    VTCS/VICS location

    I'm PRETTY sure the VICS is located in the lower manifold section, but the VTCS butterflies are in the upper manifold, right? At least that's what I got the impression of. Thanks, guys. =)

    Protege 929 Master Cylinder Brake Upgrade

    Hey, guys. For those of you who don't know, the 929 master cylinder upgrade was done on a bunch of FD/FC RX7's, and works on the Protege! It's an upgrade that increases the diameter of the bore on the master cylinder from 15/16th's to 1 inch. It doesn't sound like much, but it makes a pretty...

    Mitsubishi T25 turbo manifold?

    Is there anyone out there that makes a manifold to support the 2G DSM turbocharger? It's a T25 with a Mitsubishi flange (Round outlet, if I remember properly; The turbo is on its way). And yes, I am going turbocharged, if eventually. I caved in after buying the WRX; The Protege is way too slow...

    Custom lower grille?

    A box fell off the back of a truck on the way to work today, and smashed my lower grille. I want to get a replacement, but I was thinking I'd like a custom one instead. I'm not sure if anyone makes what I'm looking for, but basically, it would be like the older Sport20 front end, with those two...

    Headunit Issues?

    Okay, first off, this is kind of an odd problem, given the nature of it, but I'll start at the beginning. I'm working on my friends 1966 Corvair Monza, and am wiring in a custom headunit. It's working just fine, without problem when it does work, but here's my problem. The head unit (A cheap...

    Turbo Sizing? HT18S-S2

    I have a turbocharger from my 1988 Turbo II, a Hitachi HT18S, and I can't seem to find compressor maps for it, not to mention not many specs on it. I was thinking of using it as the basis for a turbo kit for my P5, but I really don't think the FS-DE makes enough exhaust to utilize the turbo very...

    Funky clutch noises/behavior

    I havn't thrown the new clutch in my car yet, due to trying to pay off my credit card (I damn near blew all my savings on a turbo kit from 1st MP3 in NH, but I saved myself ;)). So, it's not a big deal, as the clutch will be replaced soon. But here's what's happening: Especially when the car is...
