Yeah, definitely lose the Dunlops! It rained like hell the day I brought mine home and I was lucky to drive at 40mph without going all over the road. I just pulled over and let the storm win. Not a problem with the Proxes4 now. I'd say anything is better than the factory tires. Your brother made a good choice and if he's happy with the price, he'll be more than happy with the car.

Nearly 200hp stock. It was the 2nd last gen one. Something like 135'ish+ mph top speed.
I had a hard time staying with a modded one on the track. He was running R compounds though.
The last gen ones I don't think that I could keep up with. Never had the opportunity on the track.
thanks yall.. and no, there is no rice coming. I phrased that sentance wrong.
Tell me if you think my prelude is rice....i really dont care though. lol
Mugen body kit. <---looks stock
OEM CF Hood <----will be painted to match soon
Lowered....not slammed.
JDM foglights
Mugen thermostat
Mugen radiator cap
Mugen fan switch
Stock everything else.
I prefer mugen and JDM parts because they are clean and oem style quality. Do you mazdas have parts available that are similiar? make more sense?
And dont predict my future (butt) j/k
I love that smiley.....

The 5th gen, was slower than the 4th gen. Weight ratio.
welcome to the board.
we got the same deals, except instead of mugen it is mazdaspeed japan or autoexe japan that make the quality (and VERY expensive) parts.
your lude sounds clean/simple which is good imo. my friend has a lude, ww lip kit, 18' c5s, n1 exhaust, and a drop. simple yet smooth.
peace

Not to hijack your threat, but I got one this weekend as well. Took lots of prodding to get the dealer down to where I wanted, but I did and bought the car. It's an '03 with almost 27k on it, 5 speed, leather, cruise, etc. I doesn't have ABS, though. I wish it did, but the other options out weighed not having ABS, so I got it. Link to my homepage has a couple pics. Enjoy!

Replica said:Whats wrong with the lude? Does trapping in the 90's mph bone stock with no turbo offend you?
lol, because the only thing i have to say about hondas was said before that they are reliable.
