    Think you'd be better off and safer to just swap out for another one or even an Aspire one if possible.
    X2. I see no other sensible option.

      • I drilled and fitted my weld studs on the Protege power lock actuator brackets today. The M6 X 11mm weld studs I bought on eBay were just a tad too long, so I have to install them from underneath the Protege brackets. Otherwise, the door panel wouldn't lay flat. Only four weld studs were needed. I have plently left over, just in case any other members also want to attempt the power lock upgrade.

          It actually /is/ an Aspire unit. I'm gonna keep it around anyway, and cut both threaded ends completely off. I might eventually make some sleeves to press fit onto the ends with the correct threaded diameter and see how it works. No sense in throwing it away when I can use it for other stuff (like test fitting parts).

              Thanks! The wife says its a very different looking car with these wheels.

              I've had the wheels a long time & finally get to use them.

                  • Is there any representative image showing how it's mounted? i see it's not the perfect shape, but the wheel arches look like they fit, which is one of the major concerns... no reason a carbon step plate or something couldn't "finish fit" the top.

                            Perhaps make a front or rear strut tower brace with it?

                            • That's got me wondering if a Neon bumper would line up anything close... the width seems about the same... :daydreaming:

                              • High School Tailgate Party!! Not as good as the ones before football games with 40-50 people though. The biggest one we've had was before the game against our rivals from Coupeville, our Freshman cheerleaders invited the Coupevillians over for food, needless to say it was very tense and there was a strong possibility I was gonna have to go for the tire Iron...
