nice

how much was the mazdaspeed exhaust and how does it sound? is it better than getting an aftermarket exhaust?

i dont see how people can not be happy about the mazdaspeed exhaust. i sounds really nice in my opinion, along with alot of others. its abit louder inside the car, but from the outside its only a bit louder than stock. in my opinion, best 159$ investment for my car by far...


btw, thanks for the comments

i like it...very clean, not too extravagent

wow. only if I could... but Q? about turbo. can you turn it off? like, so that its like you're running a NA engine and then turn it on when you want the turbo? or is it "always on"? I'm jus concerned about my gas performance if I ever decide to go turbo.

btw, what kind of board(s) do you ride? skateboader here too
 
what are you talking about? (huh)

anyways, does anyone else sport the sport20 decals on the side? i was just curious for seeing more pictures of other cars...

um...out of left feild but yeah, a turbo is "always on"...do ome research on turbos and forced induction...Anyways I skate bakers or Plan B
 
i have a love/hate relationship with my p5. she been very dependable but lacks power. There will be periods where i love to work on her and clean her twice a week and then there are periods where i neglect her and let her get all dirty lol

right now im in a loving mood and i just took off my CF hood and replaced it with the OEM. Now she doesnt look so getto......
 
I have never seen a white P5 with yellow accents(fogs and calipers). Not my cup of tea but props for doing something different. Are those fogs the Catz spot fogs? If so I have the same ones, excellent choice!
 
Fridge, good to see you again. Have not seen you on the carolina mazdas forum in a while. hope everything is well!
 
thanks for all the imput. yeah those are stock fogs with laminex overlays.

im really at a debate on where to go next with my car. i honestly think that for the most part, im done asthetically and wish to move on to bigger things...

ive been bitten by the turbo bug lately, money is going to be a huge problem, but i think ive made up my mind on whats next. i recently have just ordered a short shifter, waiting for it to arrive in the mail (shoutout to Ken for putting up with all my previous crap in my last orders..) , and im hoping to install that soon.

recently i have been getting into the forced induction thing, ive spent too many hours last few days calculating and reading damn turbo maps to find out that this turbo i have sitting in my room isnt the best decision for my project

if anyone is looking for a TDO4-15G turbo lemme know im willing to make a trade for something addequate for a protege 5. thanks!


until then, im out.

oh yeah, and i will drop in on carolinamazdas.com to see whats up. btw, how can i get ahold of any decals to rep cm? oh, and im going to be up in Charlotte in mid august for schooling. later.
 
I believe your Sport20 Familia badge is placed incorrectly. It should go in place of the Protege5 badge.
 
i kinda like it with the protege5 and sport20 badges. :D I have my sport20 badge just sitting in my room because im too lazy to remove the other one, maybe ill just be a copy cat and do what FF did :P
 
does anyone have a picture of just a grill on their car? or maybe just a picture with only a front lip? that would be great in my decision for what to get next... thanks!

oh yeah, short shifter goes in tommorow. cant wait! (drive2)
