mods? heh. um Street Rings and a XelderX antenna. oh my hood clear coat is about 90% gone. kick ass.
I just enjoy my car for what it is. Very utilitarian. i haul everything in the back.
I change my oil and sparkplugs thats about as far i go, but can do basic stuff im sure.
 
I figure its time to finally get around to posting... seeing as how this thread started last year.

1. Sebastian Lew

2. 2003.5 Yellow Protege5

3. K&N Typhoon CCAI
Thunder Header
Borla Mazdaspeed Sport Exhaust
35% tint
Painted front grill trim and emblem
Mintblue Eyelids
Shorty Antenna
DGM CF Interior Pieces - Radio Surround, Glove Box, Gauge Surround, Shift Plate, Arm Rest, Gauge Bezel
Hayame CF Pedals (Dead, Brake, Accelerator)
Apexr1 Diversion Plate
DaveB Gauge Rings

To be installed this summer: Open mouth style Front Grill, Full Mintblue Bodykit (front, sides, rear, no wing)

4. I want to fix the car up and start entering shows, but that is probably still a few years from now. Never raced before, but would love to try. Street racing is bad, but most of us are guilty of having done it at least once.

5. I have basic knowledge, but lack the proper tools. I am always down to learn and to lend a helping hand.

6. Anywhere within the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, pending vacation time.

Ive seen you on 164th st turning right onto bothell everette highway :D
 
lol. was this recently... within the last few weeks? I went home for about a week mid march and beginning of april. I was probably dropping a friend off who lived up the street on 164th, then turned onto B-E hwy to head home towards bothell.

When Im in town, I usually see another P5 that looks like yours, modded yellow with black rims, at the intersection of Simonds Road and Juanita Dr, in front of inglewood golf course and that small plaza. Would that happen to be you?
 
1. Eli: Beaverton, Oregon
2. 07 MS3 sport

4. Tuning, my motorcycle
5. I do all my own installs on mods just short of tearing down the motor.


Next: Tint, springs, bigger intercooler, software, slotted rotors, nav, HID's
 
1. Marty
2. 2008 Mazdaspeed3, Mica Black
3. None yet (wait til I come back from Iraq)

6. Depends on the day and timeI allow for it...pretty much anywhere in west Washington

Jeese, I feel I have the old stuff here...

My names Kyle
My car: 1988 Mazda Familia GT (1 of 800 imported)
Mods include Tokico's, MX6 intercooler in bumper, remapped CS ECU running 16 PSI, 2.5" Exhuast, HKS TT, Turbo XS BOV, Civic Short Shifter, Guage pillar Pod, kenwood stereo, EDM Headlights, JDM Corners, HID's, HKS Intake, 96 Escort Powered Moonroof swap
Im into Meets, just fun driving/rallying and oh my gosh this sounds toooo much like a danm personal add.
I was a tech for Chrysler as of late last year. Quit becuase they paid me just over half of what i was actually clocking.
distance Depends on the day, time and what ive made on the prior paycheck...
 
1: Bruce
2: 2006 Mazda 3 hatch
3: MS CAI and CBI, tint, metal pedals, LED 3rd brake light!
4: Driving around
5: I tinker with my cars, brakes and the such!
6: WA-OR

And I've only been banned from one "other" Mazda 3 forum!(band)
 
1: Richard
2: 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege (1177)
3: So far... Injen CAI, Corksport Downpipe + Exhaust, Corksport FMIC, HKS SSQV BOV + BPV Dual Setup.. I think that's it? I know I'm missing a couple things. I did a lot in the month after I installed the exhaust.
4: I love autocrossing, though I've only been able to go a couple times so far. Also somewhat interested in show, though I'm focusing on the go right now before the show.
5: I tinker with some things here and there, but I'm probably not the best person to go for for advice. RX-7's on the other hand, hit me up.
6: Depending on the day, I'll drive anywhere in the PNW area.

I've been lurking for a while reading up on things trying to decide whether or not I wanted to mod my MSP. Kindof got forced to in February when my exhaust literally blew apart. Got the corksport exhaust and that was that, I've had the mod bug since then.
