My New Protege 5 Wagon

I saw the Highway 9 thread earlier in the morning. The P5 is not ready to go through that type of driving yet. The odo is currently at 80 miles, so I have a few hundred to go before it's broken in. Although I want to bring my Lude SH there and compare my car with the rest of the Proteges and see how well I do. My other car club, BAP - BayAreaPrelude.com have meets on Highway 9 and Mt. Hamilton pretty often.

Putnam Honda was pretty cool. The overall service was great actually, but they're still missing the plastic "stepper" piece by the trunk that they have to order.

Buff, I took these pics just for you since you asked for it!!

LOL, that's the first question everyone asked me. :)
I'm going to wait till the car is fully broken in first before I drive it hard, so that I know which part of the car to mod. I plan to do the suspension, but it feels pretty stiff already.

Where is "the other west coast?"
 
Welcome Charlie. I will be in SF in about 2 months for school. Can I park my P5 in your garage ^_^, since were buddies now and all........you gonna eat that? Just messing around. Welcome to our crazy world. Maybe I will see you around once I get into SF.

I don't mind meeting up and stuff to hang out. I think maybe we can get a few meets at one of my gf's restaurants. My Prelude club used to meet there every other Friday, but it got old and people stopped attending the meets. :p

I look forward to meeting you guys.
;)

By any chance, do you have that nasty rust around your rotor hubs?

Me? Which car? Rotor hubs = brake rotors..? Actually, they both have minimal rusts on them, but I think that's normal?

Oh hey, what's the deal about ABS? The dealer said something about the ABS but I wasn't listening. I didn't think they would leave out ABS on a car like this, but shoot...... some P5's don't come with ABS? I've never driven a car without ABS before.. how is it up the mountains?
 
ABS is a factory installed addition that is coupled with side impact airbags. Some people argue that ABS isn't necessary for this vehicle due to its weight.

I personally went with the safety, actually made insurance a little less. I believe it's 400-500 more for this joint feature.
 
I am sitting here lookin at that nice new engine bay... The way you have the 'lude hooked up I say you dont keep it looking stock very long! lol... 2 badass cars though... Pro 5 and the lude.. do you have the vtec controller and any other mods on the prelude?
 
welcome to our little neighborhood. im sure your going to love your p5, as you can see we love ours.
