Familia Badge!!!

[Sir Nuke]

I am thinking the same as zulu....I was gonna get that FAMILIA badge but I just don't want people to think my car is a family car or something........haha....But it is kinda cool...I am gonna think about that badge..........Just waiting for some pictures.....

PERSONALLY....I like the idea of the "sleeper" it gives you an advantage to the unsuspecting non-mazda lay-person.......so they think its a FAMILY car.....so they think its a STATION WAGON.....lol lol right up till you DUST THEM!

Quick story of a sleeper.

Before my MP5 I had a '99 Civic EX with intake and exhaust. I thought I was quick.

Sitting at a light and another Civic pulls up next to me. No bumblebee exhaust which is so popular in Central FL, no scraping from cutting their springs. NOTHING. It even sounded stock. He rolled down his window and said: "Let's go"

Oh s***! He just tried me like that.

Light turns green and we hit it.

He starts pulling on me. I'm thinking, "Damn, I can't drive" As he gets ahead of me there is a nice little Jackson Racing supercharger sticker on the rear window and a nice, clean looking aftermarket exhaust. As he pulled away I could hear the unmistakable sound of a Supercharged Car.

Damn. I gotta be more careful about who I race!

Sleepers are good. That is my plan with this car.

Was just curious....are the Protege5 and Familia the exact same car? I know sometimes it's the same base but the Japanese version will often have differences from what we get here in North America...just wanted to know if that's the case or if they are identical.

 

[I_Vtec]

I'm pretty sure there's two japanese models. One with with the same engine as here, or close, and one with a 170hp version.

By the way shipping on that emblem was only $3. So that's a total of $12. Good deal if you ask me.

Thanks to everyone who thinks it's cool. Like I said, pics up in a few days just gotta get the film developed.

Hey Pro5....Two question.......Since you dont have the picture up yet.
I am planning to get the badge really soon...But one question......The is badge FAMILIA the same size as our MAZDA ?? Becoz I dont want to buy it and its different size...It'll look weird.
Also, Does the FAMILIA looks the same as the new J-SPEC ones ?? LIke is each letter connected ?? Or is it a whole sign with the word inside ??
Thanks.....

 

[sundevilMP5]

ok...i know that the familia badge fits the holes correctly...but did you guys that have it already use any other adhesive to put it on??

 

[I_Vtec]

It's like a hair larger, but not noticeable. I didn't use any adhesive, but I did put a dab of clear silicone on each of the pegs so no moisture would get inside my tailgate. The letters are all connected. Not one big badge.

 

[Sir Nuke]

pro5man, how about putting up a pic of the badge?

 

[I_Vtec]

It will be at least Friday, most likely Saturday when I get my pics up. I don't have a digital camera or scanner so I'm gonna get pictures developed and have them put on a CD. Sorry about the delay guys.

[I_Vtec]

So I take my film to get developed and the bastards lose my film. So unfortunately who knows when I'll get my pics up. Sorry guys, but blame the dumbasses at Wolf Camera. Get them up as soon as I can.

Proman...I hope those goofus's gave you a few rolls of film FREE for THEM screwing up!! and if they didn't....I would go back and demand to speak to the owner and get SOME sort of satisfaction.

I Agree w/ SirNuke

You can't just LOSE someone's film and ay "Oops. Sorry". You can always take more pics of your car but what if had been something like a clloege graduation, a wedding, a once in a life time vacation to Fiji. I could go on but I won't. Try and gets some pics though. That would be sweet. I'm always looking for little things to make my P5 different than the rest

 

[I_Vtec]

They found them. But there's a problem. The files are too big for me to post on here.

I can't work with them, I'm stupid when it comes to computers. The only reason I even post on here is cause my job is an eight hour shift with about an hour of work.

I sent the pictures to cmack98 in NJ cause he was thinking of buying the wheels I have. I wanted him to see them. He's gonna scan them in and post them. I'll let you guys know where.

Everyone can now begin the insult post on my small amount of computer knowledge.

 

[OurP5]

Your not alone Proman

I'm with you about computer literallacy (not sure if I splelled that right or if it is even a word but it sounds right ). I work an 8-hour shift with maybe 1-2 hours of work so we're in the same boat.

Anyway, I took a picture of my P5 and was going to use it as my "custom" Avatar but when I went to upload it I am only allowed a picture 75x75 pixels and I can't figure out how to resize the damn thing and keep the picture clear. Oh well. Hopefully my pathetic web page will be ready soon s I can post pics that way.

Good Luck

What type of files are you saving your scans as? If you're only scanning to post on the net, then use jpegs. A computer can only display 72 dots per inch (dpi) so anything more is unnecessary. If you reduce your dpi (should be under "resolution") and save as a jpeg, you might be able to reduce your file size significantly enough to be able to use it as your avatar.

I know that's, by far, still not a lesson in computer imaging, but hopefully it helps a bit.

 

[OurP5]

Thanks Adrangonfly

I'm downloading them from my digital camera as a jpeg. Maybe I'm just using the wrong resolution to take the pic and it's getting blurry when I try to resize.

Oh well, this off topic. Sorry.

Back to the badges?

 

[WhiteZoomZoom]

Come on Pro5man.....I am still waiting on the pics !!! haha...I really want to get one but wanna see how it looks
