Hey hey everybody. Just a little introduction, my name is aslan, sometimes called the lyonhart, and i've come into the posession of a 1998 protege lx, 1.5L DOHC AT and all that. Its in POOR shape to be kind, and i'm just starting to look at fixing it up and at first glance it seems to be a tough nut to crack. It's clear that it doesnt have the mod support that more popular rides(damn you civic) have , but i'm sure that i'll be able to get some stuff going, and im betting that you guys know all too well the challenges i'm sure to run into.
My first project has got to be the intake, because the one in the car now is cracked in such a way that the SECOND airbox down behind the bumper is cracked on top, and sitting in the rain, water runs down the edge of the hook, drips down over the air conditioning unit and collects in the box. it fills up and then when you start the car, it takes a big old sniff of water, soaking clean through the filter in the top airbox in no time and directly into the engines air intake. It took a couple times before i figured out what the hell was going on with that, for now i drilled some holes in the bottom of the bottom air box so water dont collect, but i suppose i'm gonna need to get a new intake, and i'm not gonna another of these rediculous stock intakes...
anyway, i'm rambling, just saying hi, and if you care , you can check out www.thelyonhart.com for my music and such, its good for a car with a system, but a driver with intelligence. talk to you all soon
