Neeeeewwb! Incoming!

(rockon) Hello all! This is the best forum I have seen for my car...--pulls up chair and gets ready to learn-- I have a 2003.5 silver Protege 5 with minor mods so far. I love to drive this car, nothing I've been in makes me smile more!(cabpatch) It's nice to find a place where people appreciate this car for what it was built to do! I'll try and get some pic's up.
 
Hey there, I have an auto/sportshift, about 50,000 miles on her and going strong!
Mods so far are simple things like floor mats, pedals, synthetic oil, couple of blue neon lights under dash near feet, why?..I don't know. Let's see what else, oh I bought 4 new dunlop Dirrezza's , there a little stronger on the sidewall and better grip! I've started the audio wiring and stuff like that...I know i'm forgetting stuff.
 
Sorry to ask this but can I get pic's direct from my computer to a post or do I need to upload them online first and then post them here? Sorry for the Noob question, Help! ---All the Veterans let out a big sigh--(help)
 
hope this works...

I've figured out how to upload my pic's to my folder in the control panel, but when I post and copy/paste the url it just shows up with the dreaded red X, is that what your seeing?
 
Wow it's a miracle! Now I wish I could get them bigger!(don't we all?) 100_0595.webp100_0597.webp100_0599.webp

Pic004.webp Here are a few more...I'll try and get better pic's later. Future mods, axle back exhaust (ordered) and Tein S-tech's(ordered) upgrade sway bars and endlinks, trailing arms, gt-spec rear strut brace..etc.
Visual mods will be last, probably rims.
 
Nice ride Stealth, Nice to see another silver P5! Looks like you've kept it pretty clean, I like that. Some people in an attempt to be so different, ruin this cars' looks IMO. Are you going to lower yours at all? I am going with Tein mostly for the added performance but it does set the car down nicely on it's tires! Also I bought just the Mazdaspeed axle-back for $159.00 for now, I know the racing beat is probably the way to go, but money's tight right now.
 
I bought this car because a friend of mine works for Mazda R & D in Aniheim CA and every month he would be driving a new model. One day he had a 2003 P5 in yellow, and I loved the look of the car, every car in my price range was Blah, but this car looked fresh and timeless. Then-the test drive- WOW!
I couldn't beleive the way this car handled...and even with only a mind numbing 130 hp it just wanted to zoom! Sold! I knew I had found a great car amongst all the crap that was being made at the time...(breakn)
 
Welcome! Good to see another silver 5!

thanks! Do you have pic's of your ride? I'm def. saving pic's of people's rides I like, not to copy them but take styling cues from, and get an overall "plan of attack"...There are so many great idea's on here...now if only I could inherit thosands of dollars.....(thought)
 
Welcome to the forums. You will no doubt soon hear lies about yellow being the "fastest color" these are lies as you well know.

Waz up! My theory is the extra sparkle Mazda added to the 22v blinds the others into slowing down!(rockon)
