2002 Mazda Protege5
i just bought a 2002 p5 with 139000 miles on it it runs great but im ready to start doing work to it its my first car so money is a little tight but i might be able to work around it what should i do first; performancewise and appearance? i was thinking intake/exhaust to start, what brands are good and sound good on this car? or am i completely headed in the wrong direction? someone help!!!!!!
also wanted to do some interior work too, head unit, sub and amp, sparco harnesses also are on my list
 
Intake: AEM, injen, custom spectre, or even eBay
Exhaust: depends what you want, but go thru the official exhaust thread in this section to hear different set ups. I have an eBay exhaust and I absolutely love it. 125 bucks and sounds deep and not ricey. Throaty and loud at WOT too. Welcome to the site! You'll love the car. Btw start with some routine maintenance on the car b4 you start modding.
 
Oil change with a synthetic, I use valvoline and their engine guarantee is worth it, mine is guaranteed for 250000 miles. If timing belt and water pump wasn't swapped, do it. Coolant flush, and tranny flush. And swap plugs, wires, and coil packs. Only really need to do plugs for now but the wires and coil packs help! And no prob dood that's what we're here for
