Yes, you need to remove rear deck lid and side bolsters to access mount bolts.

On what?

On a 1st gen protege, you don't need to remove the rear deck lid to get at the rear strut mount bolts. You get one in the trunk, and the other by unclipping the ends of the seats, if that's what you're calling side bolsters.

......and that is just ****ing disgusting. Imagine having to clean that up?

there was one baby...i didn't have the stones to pull off the fender liner and mudflap to check for more...need more ammo (raid...and a zippo...lol)

This is the second one i've found around my house. And ya, right after the pics i squashed it into jam.

Aren't those the deadly ones? Those red marks make it a certain type of spider i forget the specifics. Reck loose maybe?! Yuck nasty lookin!

Yes, on a 1st gen. Protege.

I've done it from the trunk and for the 20seconds it takes to remove the rear deck lid, I prefer to do it that way.

Yes, that's a side bolster.

Those are black widows (in the pic). They are deadly and their poison causes systemic reactions usually which basically means you get really sick. They have antivenin for them and even if you get bit you probably won't die. Brown recluses don't really kill anyone, but their bites usually cause a local necrotic (skin begins to rot around the bite basically) reaction that isn't as fatal when untreated as the black widow's systemic reaction. Anyway black widows are ****ing scary but unless you bother them they probably won't bite you.

The more you know *rainbow*

I had a bruise on my forehead for a week from working on my last car and had a large brown spider fall off the underside of the bumper onto my chest while I was on a creeper, it scared me so much I tried to sit up under the car, and well I hit my head on the gas tank.

Damn Spiders!

that is pretty funny... OW!!!!!

Here are the pics from today and yesterday's work

Today
swapped over the miata wheels w/ azenis'


Properly installed my rear strut tower bar. not bothering with the front til i do the motor swap


Yesterday
with the fuel tank divided, i used the driver side for the fuel-cutoff switch

Layed the 18g wire under the carpet heading to the center console


what you see when u open the arm-rest


after u pull away the change bucket, the switch is visible at the far rear


this is with the rear panel in the console taken off, much easier to see the switch


it's a tight fit for me to get my hand down to the switch going through the armrest, so if u have bigger hands, you're defianlty not gonna make it. but they're are easier way of getting to it. Just doubt anyone... besides joel would think of it. heh, well besides the back panel comin off ofcourse

Here is the peice of plexi-glass i painted both sides black to cover the emptyness where the stero face would be. since no stereo yet, i didnt wanna see the damn wires.. and this works well. may either put the gauges here, or a stereo in time

damn you & your AWD im jealous... that cuphold piece has to go tho.
