    I'm back!!! i just went from a 2003 p5 to a 2008 3 sedan on a whim..

    2 years ago. i was looking at getting the 3sedan, and instead i came across a 2003 protege5 that was certified pre-owned, so i picked that up instead and saved me thousands as it already came with extended warranty....plus i always wanted a p5... well, the car, was fun at first, but it came...

    100 dollars to upgrade

    1. use that money to pay off your ride faster or 2. put it in savings or if you insist on spending it on your car, 3. save it up and do worthwhile mods. cause otherwise you are going to have a car full of crappy pieces. might as well do something tasteful or worthwhile.

    14" wheel for snow tire

    i think tirerack will let you order whatever you want, you just have to know what size you want. enter it under "custom size" or something like that IIRC while trying to order a package.

    So someone hit my P5 yesterday and ran....

    I don't think much will come of this. I talked to insurance and we already talked about getting it fixed. I don't think they are even going to look into it. the guy is probably a deadbeat and/or no insurance, so it's probably not even worth for anybody (insurance/police)to spend manhours...

    Brake Calipers...

    The cheapest way would be to just paint them. they sell a two part paint that's supposed to more durable. it's 50 bucks or so. some people do it with heat resisant paint. you might be better off paying the 50 bucks for the higher quality stuff http://www.g2usa.com/

    "Official Member" now, i just got a 2003 Protege 5

    naw she's cool. she's back where she belongs. after driving the two, i have no regrets. i mean the three was cool, but getting the P5 for 7K cheaper, pre-certified and warrantied and now with $1200 worth of work (free) i am glad i got the shaggin' wagon.

    2005 Mazda 3 Loaner vs. My 2003.5 protege 5....

    i agree, i mentioned that the P5 has a lot of retro touches, by that i meant old school japanese touches. like the oh s*** handles and the door lock stem. that's classic (economy) japanese there. on the 3 it looks a lot more modern and the price had something to do with it to. i picked up...
