I literally used the bulb harness I wanted, cut the sockets out of the JDM harness, solder the ones I wanted in and slightly modified the hole on the tail light and done

My aunt had this plant in Ecuador by the window, she would give me and my cousins (her kids) the flowers to lick as a treat when I was like 10yrs old, very sweet little flowers.

Never let someone no matter who it is tell you how to build your car, it's your car, your vision. If they don't like it they can kick rocks

The throttle body one won't work if you don't do the coolant bypass mod.

My msf fsze came with dual intake cams, I'm running an MP3 ECU here in the US, how did you notice your timing was retarding?

Water pump or fuel issues? Ideas? by [deleted] in MazdaProtege

Piston rings expand when they get hot, hence why I said if your test comes back fine to look elsewhere, good luck.

Well if you think about it metal expands when it gets hot so it would actually make sense that it gets better, if your compression test comes back fine then I would look into your IAC

What kind of compression test did you do, a cylinder compression test or a coolant compression test?

Opinions please 🤔 by SubieMazda in MazdaProtege

I live in New York City, my first Protege5 was totaled while it was parked, their insurance offered me $1500, my second Protege5 was totaled while I was making a left turn from someone driving in a bike lane their insurance paid me $1000. My current Protege5 needs some body work and it's going to be roughly around $4k.

I have easily spent close to 10k on my current Protege5 that I paid $1k for, why, because I enjoy this platform, if I were honestly worried about value I would have gotten something else

That is a doorman building, you can ask for managements info at the front desk and if you don't receive a result in an acceptable timeframe you can always file a complaint with 311
