Hello (Pics)

[KronixKid22]

New here, just figured I would introduce myself. I just bought a 2003 Protege 5 used with 32,000 miles on it 3 weeks ago from Wednesday. Only problem so far was a nail in the tire a week after I got it. Easy fix, had it patched at Wal-Mart for $7. Stock for now, here's some pics...

There's a yellow one for sale in my area. I think the guy is having a hard time due to the color, been on autotrader a long time but looks very clean.

Nice color! And looks like a very clean engine bay! Don't see that very often when buying used...

 

[vindication]

Yes, I was very suprised when I saw how clean the engine bay was... Almost looked new. Very happy with the car so far!

Anybody have any ideas on what I should upgrade first? I plan on buying an amp for the subs by the end of this month but what should I do after that?

 

[RandomNY]

I like the shifter of the newer pro5's. The shifter in my 2002 is boring.

Get rid of the Mazda radio.. Oh god it is awful, even makes CD's sound like crap....

I'm an ALPINE person myself, deck, Xm receiver, tweeters with full components in the front, reg. Alpine in the back, 2 Alpine Amps, my sub isn't Alpine. It helps that I work for an electronics retailer and got everything dirt dirt cheap and almost completely free install, I had to buy a couple of pizza's for 2 full days of labor.

I bought a PYLE QOOBX box off Ebay for $50 bucks. I expected it to blow after a year but now it's 3 years old so I'll keep it. Once it goes I think I'll go with a nice 10' kicker sub box.

Welcome! Tons of info here. Just search and ye' shall find. I agree, very clean for a northeastern vehicle. Almost as clean as mine.
