tell the machine shop to "max shave the head" that will tell them to shave it down to the factory suggested limit, so you'll be okay with that.---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

And they'll know the factory limit? Or be able to look it up at least?
On a side note, I finally got around to cleaning the EGR valve. That thing was a pain to get off. Must have used at least 1/3 to 1/2 a bottle of throttle body cleaner. Also some generic spry penetrant. The shaft finally started moving up and down freely with no sticking. My dad also suggested to use anti-sieze on the shaft, so I did that as well. Bottom half of the shaft, top half and the part sticking out of the housing inside the spring. Let's see if that finally fixed my problems.

Thanks man I saw a Protege the other day and wondered if it was you, haha.
Also, I got a GTR shift knob from bogaut and a '97 grille from firelizard. No more painted crap, now I can cut it apart for a custom piece.
Needs some repairs, but I believe I can do it.Last edited by irishkev90; 05-08-2011, 10:58 AM.

Got some more replacement goodies today
Bunch of bushings and endlinks:
The front sway bar end links are different. The left one cost more, but wasn't bagged. They're both Beck/Arnley, though...
Left:
Right:
Also, got all the boxes labeled so I know what's what:
On a side note, I forgot about my Cusco tie bar. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it sitting the corner, haha.

More questions....
I believe the pedal assembly came out of a BG (don't know the year). Anyway, what's this white box on the left side of the clutch pedal for?
And what is this black thing with a yellow plunger for on the brake pedal?
Then there's these two connectors under my dash. Theyy both have two wires going to them. The black one has the normal 22(?) gauge wires and the white one has much bigger wires going to it. What are these for?

the lines normally look like that, they fit into the brackets as such....... kinda like a puzzle piece---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

Yeah, I posted that in the BG section since I'm pretty sure that's what car they came out of. And that's the answer I got from those guys as well. Just need to get a new one since the connector is broken off of the one I have.
Edit: They may have come from an EGT. I PM'd the guy I got them from to make sure.
