Major update as of September 2. All my parts prices here come from the ubiquitous Summit Racing, but there's probably better deals to be had - search 'em out and let me know!

PRD makes better wires and custom probe / mx6 stuff...

Thanks for the links - I'll go through their sites when I get a chance.

I just ordered a Clutch Masters clutch kit from IPP (www.importperformanceparts.net) - assuming everything goes well, I'll add their selection to the list.

Keep in mind, too, that some of this stuff can be applied to the Millenia as well...

There is also a large selection of parts from streetunit.com. These are designed for 2003-2003.5 Protege which has the same engine, but turbocharged. I'm not sure of the suspension and brake bits but engine and turbocharger parts shuold fit with little or no modification. A friend has ordered parts for his CX-7 and everything went well. Delivery was a little slow but it was a hand made custom part.
