Thanks for all the responses!

So this is my first car with a spoiler, and I have always hand washed in the past since I had easy access to a hose. I just moved into a building that has no hose, and am wondering: Is it safe to go through one of those car washes, often at gas stations, that move you along through the big...

I get pulled over and tailed all the time. I have gotten really frustrated with it all, and sadly it tempts me to sell it.

Thanks for the heads-up, that was one of the places I was going to call...

I'm very excited for LA, it should be a lot of fun! Hopefully its not too late to meet up with Nor Cal people... I know its short notice, but is anyone down for something this weekend? I'm sure I will need a break from packing up all my stuff haha.

Oakland :)

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has input on a good place for window tinting in or around Oakland, CA. Thanks! Kevin

I just saw this thread, and very sad that I missed out. What makes me even more sad is that I'm about to move to L.A. on Sunday 1/28/07. So I guess my last shot to meet up with folks would be something on Friday or Saturday? I would love to rep with some folks and meet new people. I saw a...

The previous owner of my MazdaSpeed Protege threw in a Carbon Fiber Hood and Grill. I like the stock look, so I'd rather get rid of the CF hood and grill and out of my basement... See links for info, thanks Hood sells for $699 at...

Ok thanks, very helpful. It sounds pretty easy, a shop will be able to do it relatively cheaply then?

Hi all, I have a question about a possible exhaust upgrade. I still have the stock exhaust from my MSP, and was wondering if it would fit on my dad's Protege5. It would be a fun present to him if it is an easy thing to have changed out. I haven't looked under my dads P5 to see if the exhaust is...

good question, I'd like to find mine as well haha

that is too bad there isn't a chip for it, oh well

D-rock: Yes, he knew what he was doing. Seems he put on "the right stuff." By saying that, I mean he didn't add any stupid or harmful mods. It has the sidemount intercooler, which is closer than one mounted farther in front which means less turbo lag. He also put on a Apex downpipe (not quite...

Bakum- no worries, haha, small world. Have you changed your wheels?

Thanks, I definitely felt it was a good find. As for the boost, he showed me how it can adjust the psi. I have it set at 6.5 and I doubt he ran it much above that. Maybe he bumped it up to the next setting of 7.5 occassionally, but I don't know. He warned me about going/setting it up to 9psi...

Update: I found another spicy orange MSP and it was like night and day compared to the first one I test drove. There definitely were a bunch of things wrong with the first one. So I went ahead and got the second one. Also, it had fewer miles; 15k vs 55k. Additionally, the guy had put on a turbo...

i'm just over 16k... pretty low from what i've seen so far

Hi there, totally new to this board, but if all goes well and I do get this car, I hope to post and engage more. I am looking into an orange Speed Protege, and have a few questions. I am downgradng from an SUV and I hope the questions/concerns aren't too stupid or basic. Thanks in advance for...
