There definitely are a lot of memories associated with it, and life experiences. It was also the first car that I raced, the first car that I modified, and while not an ideal race car, it was a fantastic DD and I think it was a good one for playing with mods on as well.

I'm a bit behind on posting, but that's normal for me. At the beginning of this year, the rumors started, that Mazda was going to be releasing a 30th Anniversary Miata and it was going to be a bright color. For those who are not familiar, we*ve owned 7 Miatas (NAs and NBs), raced 6 over the...

It's been 10 days now, but I have finally said goodbye to the P5: https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123869080-Goodbye-P5-it-was-a-great-run&p=6655154#post6655154

After nearly 16 years of ownership, it is finally time to say goodbye to my Protege5. I bought her in September of 2003 with 40 miles on the clock and she went to a new home last month with 187K on her. Last day of ownership: Over the years, she changed a lot from stock to modded and back...

Sorry, somehow I missed seeing this earlier. I bought this kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XP6VCNW/?tag=m20b7-20 No hog rings on the P5 seats, woohoo!! And 2 months in, I absolutely love it. Still need to do the passenger seat, but that's simply a matter of pulling it out of car...

Installed the wiring for heated seats and put the heaters in the driver's seat. Installing under the seat cover: Seat done: Wiring install: Controller, still needs a final location:

Friday night, company party in downtown DC. Husband picks my co-worker and I up after work in the P5 and about 2 blocks from the restaurant, I hear him pumping the pedal, car not sounding happy, etc. Pull up to the light, he turns the car off, puts it in 1st, and we sort of limp through the...

Stretched out the bike rack last night so we could carry this tandem home.

Went to a rallyx on Saturday.

Paid money for this vinyl work, pretty pleased with it:

Thank you and yes, he did win 3rd place in PR. :D If only it had been dry on the first runs, if only...

Spent this past weekend having fun and getting dirty at the SCCA National Rallycross Championship:

Attached the spoiler to the CSP Miata. Needs something to seal the gaps on the far edges but looks pretty good on there. The blue tape is hiding holes from a previous spoiler.

DC SCCA This season will be our 3rd season at the huge venue in Frostburg, MD aka Gravel Mountain. The hilltop location has a ton of space so were able to build big, fast, fun courses that are more reminiscent of stage rally than autocross (except with no trees to hit!). 03/20/16 Championship...

I started out with the P5 but now I own 3 Miatas.... The P5 definitely has some body roll so stiffer suspension is nice. Assuming you are looking at SCCA classing, you would be in STC with your mod list. I would say give it a try with the way the car is now, learn how to autox well, then start...
