05 Ex 5sp Questions...

Hi guys,

So I've been looking around for i/h/e and a few other things for my car, but I've noticed most of the time if not all of the time the parts say they will only fit 01-03. Will these parts actually fit the 05? Or will the companies make the stuff applicable to my car?

Thanks for the replies.

any i/h/e for an 01-03 will fit ur car. the only thing that wont fit up right as far as i know are struts. you'd have to do minor drilling.

I think he means for aftermarket parts it lists them as fitting 01-03, not that the parts are from an older car.

dude, if it says that the flywheel fits the 01-03, it will fit yours too. nothing was changed with the motor/tranny from 01-05

you might have to drill those out also. i dont think omni makes a 04-05 specific application. i could be wrong tho.

Is there a chance that the flywheel is still the same? Maybe a question to ask the parts counter at your dealership

I think that would fit right? It says its for the D series motor and will fit the 1.7 liter engine. I probably won't order it now cuz I want to get my coil overs first. And I'd rather wait awhile and put a few more miles on the car before I go an void the engine warrenty. I have less that 500miles on it...wanna make sure all the problems arise first fix it then mod it.

I would wait as well. Another note, make sure its the 1.7l some ppl will say fits the D series (meaning D16 not D17), and more than not the product wont bolt up.
