Suggested Mod List
#16
Suggestion: in another recent thread, you (macdaddyslomo) shared some good ideas for a DIY turbo. Should we insert a sublist of DIY turbo components for applicable engines? Afterall, that would be extremely valuable information to have for anyone considering such a project.

Soooo... :P
Doesn't anyone anyone know if a normal automatic shifter can be swapped out for the "Sport Mode Automatic" in a 2003 Protege LX?
I test drove the Mazda 3 and I liked that feature... but I also heard it cam as an option on the 2003 ES ... anyone know?

hmmm...I wonder how big a diference that would make in acceleration for us 1.6ers

they are all F-series trannies...the one that goes in the J-spec Swagon has the best final drive ratio for acceleration...basically you would need to get an F-series from the 1.5L S-wagon only

It's only going to work in a manual, and yes it would be a pretty big improvement based on the numbers I see...Muscle car guys have been doing this for years..it's just a LOT easier on RWD

Lets not forget preformance tansmission stuf in case of auto.
Lentech stuff! Valve body, torqe converter , complete rebuilt tranny etc. Wonder how much a new adjustable torqe converter would help. Figure I could lower the stall speed so it locks up eariler for economy. The stock 2600 rpm is good for launches though just a very small bit of tire spin.
