Rishie's Pictures

Looks great Rishie, I would like to see what your car weighs now. I put mine on a truck scale and I lost somewhere around 150lbs just with the Jic Magics installed. I think it looks very modified if you put it next to a stock P5 it is a whole different car. Can't wait to see those seats. I need some dough need more mods.
 
haha so I'm uneducated in quality products and I'm not old enough to appreciate quality when I see it? dude you are so pretentious is hilarious. You're basically saying that anyone who doesn't appreciate your $15K worth of mods is untrained and clueless when it comes to what's the s***. Some would think the contrary.
 
That's not what I'm saying savaho. This car fits my objective perfectly. That's all. The way I look at it is you get what you pay for.

Being that we own a business that imports a lot of the best quality products for the protege we need to display them. That's why we've spent a ridiculous amount of money on this project as most companies do. I mean, Alpine spending $250,000 on a Civic is a little absurd, but they got their point across.

Please don't take this personally. Nobody is saying you're uneducated or naive. We're also making general statements. I was simply implying, "To each their own". We want to build this car to be amongst the creme de la creme before we move onto another one. I am not being pretentious just surprised by your lack of insight towards our objectives. I don't condemn anyone or criticize people for doing what suits their needs regardless of the amount spent whether small or large. I would hope that you as an end user and potential client would be able to use this vehicle as a benchmark for modifications you would be interested in doing or at least see what it can be if you heavily invest.

Thanks, Rishie

If you really want to get down to it, we're all stupid for picking proteges to modify. You have to spend a shitload of money to really get it to be competitive in any market or venue. But at the end of the day you can look in your car's reflection and know that it is unique.
 
Well said Rishie. Why would anyone want to mess with you? YOU DA MAN!! MAn that is my fantasy P5 right there. I got a black Mica and that makes me tremble. Although I really want to do the WW front bumper. And those wheels...I can't even think about having those. Mintblue demo car, that sounds cool man, althought I was never really into the mintblue kit. PEACE OUT
 
His $15 grand dropped into the car isn't bad at all when you look at this protege, with over $55,000 under the hood. http://www.wheels.ca/News.htm?CD=656&ID=1560
Sure, it looks a bit more like a race car, but s***- ~$70,000 later, ITS STILL A PROTEGE5!!!

I think there's a reason why most of us are here, and that's because the Protege's are the pimpest looking cars off the lot in their price range.

:wtf:How in the hell did he spend $55,000 under the hood!? Is it the 2.0 that came in it? I'm not doubting you at all, as I know that quality parts + quality labor ain't cheap, but DAMN! I would just love to see a complete list of mods...
 
BTW Rishie, I think that you have one the cleanest P5's. Period. I am glad that someone is showing what can be done w/ a P5 when done properly w/ the best of what's available...
 
All I see its a BEGI turbo kit $2600, a DG c/f lip $420, a Stop-Tech big brake kit $1700, lowering springs $250 and a set of Sparco buckets $900. Oh and some wheels $1500. Grand total $7370 + labor = $9000.00
 
he also mentioned about $8000 in his audio equipment...so that puts your numbers at $17000, minus the turbo, right arount $15000 like he said, but has much better stuff then you mentioned, that JIC setup is close to $2000 alone!

all im saying is that Rishies car is SWEET and i would love to have it, with the exact mods hes got.
 
on a side note....is your website up yet rishie??

I was wondering do you guys have any lips or grills in stock. And if you dont when will you? You can e-mail me at mazdaprotege3@aol.com thanx ben
