While guys, no more foglights for me.
I got a 2003.5 Mazdaspeed today! I took advantage of the $1500 rebate that they announced, lower financing rates and got them to give me a good amount on my trade. No more regrets of buying the automatic. Hope you guys will still let me come up to the summit with you even though I don't have the 5 anymore.
FYI, if any of you guys is interested you get first crack at a bunch of my stuff, I'll be selling:
Stock Protege5 exhaust
Stock stereo
Red Injen CAI
My custom sub enclosure and subwoofer
Maybe the JL amp if it's easy enough to get out from under the seat
Shorty antenna
If someone wants to show up at the dealer with me and take the racing beat exhaust off and put the stock on back on, you can get a killer deal on that too, otherwise I am not gonna bother with it.
a set of 4 PERFECT protetge5 2003 wheels and stock Dunlop rubber with about 4000 miles on them
I think that's about it, hopefully my sparkco wires will still work on the speed.
Foggy, good to hear you fixed your problem. No Fun runs for me until the car is broken in, but with how much I drive that shouldn't be a problem.

well, they were insisting on over sticker for a long time, but I got them down to just under MSRP plus the $1500 rebate, and I got 3.5% financing from my credit union so my payments are actually just slightly more then they were with the 5, up about $20-25.
I know it's not a good idea to sell a car after owning it for 10 months and racking up the miles, but I plan on having the speed for a long time. I got a lot of extras on the 5, 100k warranty, lo-jack, gap, perma-plate, and I am gonna get money back on my warranty, and I got the same set of extras on the speed, Gap, lo-jack, and perma-plate. The perma-plate saved my ass a couple of times already, even though I am super careful. I'll have a bunch of parts to sell from the 5 that I can't use on the speed as well so I am feeling pretty good about things even though buying those things straight from the dealer isn't probably the best route.

That's a pretty good interest rate there. No 0% on the Mazdaspeed's right now and no 0% from the credit union so I settled. I wouldn't have done it if my payments weren't gonna stay reasonably close to the same. It's not like I "needed" a new car.

ha ha ha, yeah, after my break-in I'll have to slowly start building it up. It's still gonna get smoked by a WRX in it's current form, but with a MBC and maybe a Injen it should be closer. I am gonna take it nice and slow with the mods on it. The first thing is gonna be a 1st MP3 ground wire kit that I already had on order, and then I am thinking that a boost gauge/turbo timer would probably be next.

I got the freakin bright Blazing Yellow! I am gonna miss the fogs, but I too like the look of the 03.5s more then the 03s. I did get the sales guy to swap the 03.5 shift knob with an 03 shift knob so I have the one that says Sparco on it instead of Mazdaspeed
The only thing I am not totally stoked on is the oval exhaust, but that will probably be replaced in time.

okay,
For Roy -
It was the yellow one at Almaden, 2 miles on the odo
And Natey and Foggy have already jumped on the exhaust and Injen, everything else is still available before I post it in the for sale section. I also have an extra pair of Silverstar H7 bulbs from Powerbulbs that won't do me any good now. I bought two pairs when I got mine. I'll let those go for $45.

the bulbs are a pain in the ass to install, I am undecided on if I am going to take the ones that I put in out, probably not. But now that I know how to do it, it's not as bad. But they are totally worth it once you get them in.
I'll be getting some H4s for my speed.
