    WTB: driver's headlight for 02 protege sedan

    I had a minor incident in the parking lot at work that involved a moment's inattention and the brush guard of a chevy 2500 HD. The lens survived, but the bucket and mounts cracked, and I've been driving around with one headlight, effectively, because the busted one points at the ground about 10...

    Columbus Body Shop Recommendations?

    Driver's front fender got the "little old lady who forgot to put her new Camry into Park" treatment on Saturday. On the upside, it happened at church, so the lady found me and offered to pay for it in full. No lights were injured in the process, just some rash and a bit of a wrinkle. My car...

    silver MS3 at Rivertown Church in Columbus...

    ...spotted Saturday night. I couldn't hang around after the service to see whose it was. Is that someone on this board?

    BMW Ultimate Drive 3/19

    Yeah, I just doubled checked the registration website... the fleet of event cars that is coming to Columbus doesn't even include the M3, just the Alpina, so that's the only highly-restricted car. And I'm definitely going to try to get in on the Columbus > Macon car transfer. I had the...

    BMW Ultimate Drive 3/19

    I'll grant you that, but as long as you're at least 25, you can drive everything BUT the Alpina. Before that, 21 gets you into everything but the 760 (v12... (2thumbs) ). Myself, I'm eager to drive the 335i coupe, which is basically the quickest BMW offering short of an M-series.

    BMW Ultimate Drive 3/19

    Howdy folks, I was just curious if anyone in Columbus or the surrounding towns had planned on going to the BMW Ultimate Drive event this Wednesday. I've been the past 2 years, and though the cars are all steptronic automatics, it's still a hoot, overall. They'll have cars ranging from the 328i...

    MSP Springs Conversion Help

    Can I assume that the MSP and the MP3 springs are identical? I've had a set of MP3 springs sitting in a box for months now, thinking they would waste the stock struts in no time if I installed them on my 02 LX. After reading this thread, I still think I'll wait until I can afford new struts, so...

    Shot of a stock LX on the Tail of the Dragon

    thanks guys. that road is fun as hell. killboy.com took the shot. and that driver's front tire HAS been giving me trouble. the leak is so ridiculously slow, i haven't bothered taking it in to a tire shop. about 2psi/week. I'm guessing it was probably around 28-30 psi when this shot was taken...

    Shot of a stock LX on the Tail of the Dragon

    Look at the body roll! The soft all season tires rolling under! The fat man at the wheel making it worse! Yeah, that's me and my car (drive)

    WTB: Factory front strut bar from MP3, P5

    I'm looking for the strut bar that came on the MP3 or p5 (or any other model that had the solid bar -- I'm still learning...). Must come with all mounting hardware, as I'm planning on fitting it to an 02 LX. Thanks!

    towing?

    This is potentially a very stupid question, because I know that the owner's manual forbids it with a simple "Never tow with your car." or something like that... That said, I'd like to know if anyone has tried towing a small trailer with your Protege. I'm thinking in the under 1000# range, like...
