Finally finished! 2002 yes '02 P5

Cagiva1, you may want to contact the people showing your car. As I stated earlier, the Mazda Rep. at the Nashville Intl. Auto Show was either being a dick about it or just didn't have any of the right info. I wanted to talk to him about it, about some of the stuff I saw on the site, and he was very abrupt, saying "Nobody really owns that car" and "$33,000 worth of add-ons, that's just stupid"- this came from the guys supposed to be representing it. We couldn't even see inside it.
Yeah, it's a great looking car, and I wouldn't want thousands of people inside my car playing with all my stuff, but I question the point of having a car with all this to show off, and not doing it? Maybe rope it off so you can at least open the doors and let people see it.



I will say that judging by what I saw on the website, though, that this car is one of the cleanest built jobs that I've seen in quite some time. As far as the sponsor stickers, it really depends on how tall they are. The larger they get, the harder it becomes to get creative.

Can I take your car on a date?

 

[melicha8]

How did you set up the wilwoods and how much

 

[mazdamastertech]

i also want to know about the brakes??????

 

[Cagiva1]

How did you set up the wilwoods and how much

Precision Braking Company. It's an awsome setup specifically for Protege. They sleeve down two of the 4 pistons so that the same Master cylinder can be retained. Braided Lines, DBA Gold Rotors crossed and slotted at "13, hawk pads. Now proven kit as we went through a development stage with these guys on this car. It's going to be $900 but these are Wilwood and DBA. I went for top of the line stuff on this car...well except for those APC Mirrors!

I SEND SOME PASTIC CHAINS WITH THE CAR THAT HANG BETWEEN THE STRIKE PLATE ON THE B PILLAR AND THE LATCH ON THE DOOR SO THAT THE CAR CAN BE DISPLAYED OPEN. I ALSO SEND A PEG LEG FOR THE FRONT TO DISPLAY THE BRAKES AND SUSPENSION. AND, FINALLY, I SEND A POWER BOX SO THE A/V CAN RUN AT THE SHOW. OBVIOUSLY THIS DIDN'T GET DONE AT NASHVILLE.
SALESPEOPLE WORKING THE SHOWS KNOW NOTHING...USUALLY.

I have an '02 pro 5 w/Autostick. Mostly stock.
Was wondering if you would like to trade straight across,title for title?(bowdown) (blackp5)

 

[Pirana]

Amazing. I love it. Love the hood treatment and I bet the clear coat is deep. Hope to see it soon, maybe side-to-side if you know what I mean

PS-I know the man sweated this car, he deserves a lot of credit even if others don't do it.

I am amazed at that car! I am looking forward to seeing the end product after this show season. As for the sponsor stickers, beats me. Everyone has done the under the mirrors thing, But I think that looks the best. Or maybe starting at the bottom of the car under the mirror on each side, then going up and back at an angle toward the rear door windows. That might look ok. Anyway, congratulations on the car, we are all impressed.

 

[PA_MP3_Man]

I personally like how stickers look on the side skirts of these cars. Maybe run them the whole way around the bottom of the car? Just a thought.

 

[Pirana]

O.K. maybe not the best pics but here is the logos on Sean's Mazda on the side skirts:

And here are mine on the front door-roll call:

 

[PA_MP3_Man]

Yep difinately like em on the side skirts

 

[Cagiva1]

Pirana, man...I forgot that your's were installed under the mirrors until seeing that pic again! I'll post another pic when I get them installed.

 

[savaho]

Nice job! (wow) There's nothing like making a nice looking car faster & nicer regardless of what others say. Keep up the good work!

 

[big_ben]

I just got done looking at al those photos again. I am impressed all over again. Dean,....you did a great job! That makes me hate to get rid of my MP3.

 

[LinuxRacr]

You know, it just clicked for me who this guy really is. If this is the same Dean I met at the Mazdaspeed Street Heat in Houston, and at the Mazda 6 event....IN HOUSTON, then I feel like a dumbass. I've heard Steve Heinbaugh talk about this protege, but damn...here it is! Dean, this is Patrick. The guy who came down with Hunter back in September for the Mazdaspeed event at the Space Center.

 

[Limited Edition]

WOW!(wow)

That is something really to 'WOW' about! (bow)

The exterior looks just as good as the interior..Simply Amazing!
One of the best looking P5's i've seen....(2thumbs)

 

[mushin25]
