    What would your ideal Protege5 look like?

    This car (knock on wood) has been a champ. It won't leave the fleet, it will just be relegated as a third and standby car. My car is a DD/track car. The wife's car is the family-mobile, but still has to be fun to drive (hence the S4 avant).

    What would your ideal Protege5 look like?

    My current wife's car is an '02 Protege5 (black). I'm buying a new fun car next spring as I sold my E30 M3 months ago and we're upgrading her to a new S4 Avant next fall. In the meantime, I've been tasked with making the P5 a bit more fun. I'm clueless as to what aesthetic and performance...

    WTB - P5 rear cargo mat cover

    I have the carpet piece, but I don't have the backing (plastic/cardboard?) that goes over the spare tire well. I'm told it's part number: BN5V-68-81X-02 (burn)

    Rear hatch bottom carpet piece - P/N and Price Requeset

    Well I got the carpeted cargo mat and it's just a piece of carpet. I need the cardboard/plastic backing that goes underneath as well. I threw it out last week and now I have a piece of carpet sitting on top of my spare tire. Help!

    Oil Extractor to Do Oil Change

    It helps stiffen up the cabrio a bit: I've autocrossed it as well, with a bit of success. I actually posted a time quicker than an E46 M3 with Stoptech brakes on the front. I actually just sold the Bimmer about a week ago and I'm trying looking for an Imola S52 M Coupe to replace the E46...

    Oil Extractor to Do Oil Change

    Did you lose your arms in the war? I've used those on cars that hold 7-10 quarts of oil since it's easier to carry one than find a 15 quart drain pan. But I then go back and take off the drain bolt(s) and drain the remainder into a small drain pan.
