Mazda_Powered's 91 Protege LX

[Mazda_Powered]

ok update pics will come later today once things are wrapped up.

fuse box is mounted inside the glove box securely, but i have to pull it all back out again for a plug i forgot to extend (fuel injection anyone?).

I've also ran all 3 harnesses for my wideband setup, so the o2 is currently hangin' around in my engine bay.

Also today a friend is comin by to pick up that partial FMIC kit i had up for sale. So that should help fund a few things I want to take care of before the move.

Pictars come latars

Ok so small update for the car.

Purchased the following items, but they're packed away or in the mail lol

93+ Escort GT side skirts
VJ-11 compressor housing (won't need a ghey vj-20 outlet flange )
Clear slanted headlight lenses
Addco rear swaybar and hardware
5&8mm wheel spacers
Ground terminals (have to re-do some wiring...sob...)

Moving in about 2 weeks? Maybe sooner depending on the auto wrecker deal my dads trying to make right now lol...

[Mazda_Powered]

OK finally snapped a few random pics, I have to wait for everything else to come in still lol.

Addco bar I finally picked up

Also here's the vj-11 compressor housing, its pretty clean, but i'll polish it anyways

[Mazda_Powered]

did a LOT of work to my Protege over the past few days, i'll snap pics tonight.

- C's short shifter install
- Leather shift boot, ebrake boot
- Vac'd the interior
- Installed wideband gauge
- Red "GT" pin striping
- SS clutch line
- Painted a few more things
- Modified EGT skirts to fit
- Started to mount my secret front bumper
- Purchased 2 more axle stands

She's now sitting on 4 axle stands and no wheels on her going to paint the rims red once the weather improves...really been raining lately. lol

ok so turns out my other bumper might be able to fit in the stock crash guard, so it'll be "safe" as per govn't, so i can slap it on for the safety

the only fitment issue i can see so far is where the lower headlight trim fits, seems the shape isn't the same, so i'll have to fiberglass the trim to the bumper and make it seperate from the lights lol, no biggy tho.

[Mazda_Powered]

i'm making this list so i can use it for reference lol

parts still needed:

-5th gear swap
-ES front swaybar bushings & hardware
-Belts
-Boost gauge
-Oil pressure hardware (already have autometer gauge)
-Dual gauge pod
-Fuel injector o-rings & spacers, ect...
-High temp gasket maker
-FMIC setup; clamps, pipes, IC, ect...
-GTX ECU
-Downpipe to stock exhaust
-Turbo inlet pipe
-Fluids; p/s, mtx, 5w30, coolant & additive

i'll probably add more once i remember LOL

OK update!

Purchased some ES LCA & trailing arm bushings, so I managed to get the trailing arms all done within about an hour, i love electric impact guns lol.

Old bushings, which are still in amazing shape! the peeling is from the factory rock guard.


Forgot to snap a pic after I pressed the bushings in/out, but I used this tiny vise that was left behind in the garage lol,

i'm pretty sure i almost broke it, but it worked real well!

Here's the trailing arm on the left,

still working on installed the Addco rear sway bar...having some major issues, the previous owner (before Joseph) had the right sway bar tab re-welded...pretty the shop didn't do it correctly since its completely crooked!!!!

Here's my interior so far,

I have the C's short shifter, mx3 leather boot, P5 shiftknob, Tiburon e-brake boot,
pillar gauge w/ wideband,


and the fuse box in the glove box

[Mazda_Powered]

More stuff!

Also installed the 1/4" pin striping, still have to take some primer off a couple trim pieces...then i'll pin stripe them.

Temp install of the Familia gear mmm

Here's how high the car is right now, its not bad for now.


Also did some engine bay work, painted a few more misc brackets



clutch line...ya i noticed the leak after i uploaded the pic...lol

p/s stuff, turned out ok imo


So ya! That's basically it for now, still have lots of stuff to install...so more pics to follow haha, yep all for the protege...lol
