03 Protege ES with 136,138 miles on 'er. 1. Manual 2. Original motor and tranny 3. Timing belt was replaced less than 20,000 miles ago, and I'm fairly certain the water pump is original. 4. Protege runs flawlessly, with no leaks. I just put in new spark plugs, oil, and oil filter less than 150...

They're going back up again around here.. Fred Meyers is back up to 3.729. Chevron is closer to 4 bucks a gallon for regular now.

I'm paying $3.699 for regular from Fred Meyers. Chevron or Shell is closer to $3.899 for regular. Makes me wish I had a motorcycle to save money.

I've been running an Ebay axleback for the past month or so, and I love it. It ended up being an RS Type brand muffler which is the same brand as a few of you guys. I bought mine from seller "advanation." Eventually I'm gonna move to a catback exhaust, but for now I'm pretty satisfied.

Its's supposed to make a 10hp 10 ft-lbs of torque gain, along with a smoother power band from what I hear.

In an effort to get myself to start loving this car, I took it for a long drive on the mountain roads on the outskirts of town. I guess what I'm missing in this car that I had in the Fiero, was the insanity. I went and pushed the Protege as far as I dared and really got a kick out of it. I got...

I was wondering about something like that for the Proteges as well. It would look sick.

Currently debating on how much more money I want to put into this car.. I like my Protege... but I just don't love it like I loved the Fiero I owned. I dunno, I guess the Fiero spoiled me and I don't want to adjust for some reason.

Headers and an under drive pulley will probably be the next additions to my Protege once I get the money saved up. Some more pictures. The weather cleared up some around here.

1. Steven 2. 2003 Protege ES 5 speed 3. Intake cone on stock tubing, RS Type axle back exhaust, short shifter, tinted tails. 4. I used to autox with my Fiero, so autox and the occasional street race. 5. Mechanically inclined, and I'm going to college for my ASE certification. 6. As long as I...

Broke 134,000 miles the other morning. I don't have any issues with rust so far, but I'm lucky to live in a town that uses gravel when it snows, and is dry for the most part during the spring and summer.

These came in today. Making an appointment Tuesday to get them put in since I don't feel comfortable enough with my mechanic abilities to do it myself. Just in time too, cuz they've gotten noticeably worse in the last few weeks. I was gonna take more pictures than this, but things came up...

Just do an axle-back exhaust. Get a muffler that has a silencer on it, and it won't be that loud. Better spark plugs and wires is another way to improve gas mileage.

Dude, I am in awe of the paint job. Just looking at it, one would never guess that it was rattle canned. Amazing job.

Got my exhaust put on today, and I ******* love the sound of my car now. Re-tinted the tails too, and haven't gotten a bother from the cops yet. I'm still waiting on my wheel bearings. The order got slowed down thanks to winter storm Nemo.

How much is shipping to 97603?

Turns out that CorkSport is out of stock on the tower bar, so I'm cancelling my order and I'll try to find another one. Maybe I'll go for a P5 tower bar or something. I dunno.

Thanks man! I am in need of new shifter bushings... Any recommendations? I was thinking about going with the CorkSport shifter bushings but I figured I'd do my research first.

Got my tax returns, and went and bought the new wheel bearings, along with a CorkSport strut tower bar. I have an appointment at the muffler shop Monday morning to get my exhaust put on, so I'll have a few improvements coming soon.

Went for a drive with my brother today, and took him out on some of the awesome curvy roads around my area. I know the protege is filthy but its either been too cold or rainy to wash it. I'm slowly starting to like my protege more and more.
