    '02 Protege5 burning oil, white smoke on startup/post downhill acceleration

    Thanks for the follow up. I gather I'm looking at a serious bill for the repair or ride her 'til she croaks. 150,000 miles, decent shape, but not sure she's worth spending over $1000 in repairs. Sounds like it's not a job I'm comfortable doing.

    '02 Protege5 burning oil, white smoke on startup/post downhill acceleration

    I've noticed in the last 6months to a year that my PR5 has been burning oil and smoking sometimes on a cold start after sitting for 8+ hours. This usually lasts for the first 5mins of driving then goes away. I've also noticed that when I drive downhill and use the engine compression for...

    Got in an accident - Looking for advice on repairs

    Yes, but I would have had to pay $200 deductible out of pocket. I settled with the guy for enough to cover the repair and then some if I do the work myself.

    FS: New EGR Valve and Gasket

    I originally purchased this thinking it was the solution to my problem (which was bad coil packs). I paid $131 for this, but I'm just looking to offload it now as it's been sitting in my closet for nearly 3 years. $95 + free shipping (within the US) Thanks.

    Clicking Noise? (Video included)

    Hi guys. I'm experiencing this clicking noise, almost like a rock is in my tire, but it does not happen frequently. It seems to happen randomly, but usually upon release the clutch/giving gas from first gear, or simply letting off the gas (no clutch activation) even at higher speeds. Here's...

    What to replace along with struts?

    2002 stock PR5 with 100k miles. My stock front left strut is shot and I'm looking to replace the front two struts. I want to keep it stock, so I was going to go with the Tokico Blues from recommendations here. Is there anything else I should replace while doing this job?

    Changing only the oil filter?

    I'm wondering, can I change only the oil filter? Will oil spew out other than what's currently in the filter? I'm running full synthetic oil at around 4500 miles (90% hwy driving) and the oil looks fairly clean. Looking to save a few bucks and a bit of time. Any comments or concerns with...

    DDM Tuning Apexcone Raptor HID Kit - $30 plus shipping

    Driving to work today on the freeway my lights cut out. Kind of scarey at 6am when its pretty much pitch black. Fortunately my DDM 3k fogs on a separate wiring harness continued to work. I found that one of the connectors to the ballast on the DMM wiring harness was faulty. It seems that one...
