WARNING: this post is what I did with my rental today, not my Protege5

I drove to the body shop and SAW MY CAR!! I didn't have my camera with me, if I get bored again I'll go visit it again tonight and take a pic! Of course they have it pulled in so I can barely get a glimpse of the front end, but I can tell that the bumper/fender/hood is removed.

Then I drove the 3 miles back from the body shop with the e-brake pulled up as hard as I physically could on the G5. I've been back for 5 minutes and the brakes are still smoking hahahaha (I really wonder why they charge extra fees for young people to rent cars???)

being the angel that you are, you would never, EVER do such a thing...
chris, you devil! (laugh) LOL

btw - i demand proof of said smoke!! (pics)

SOLD, My 2002 P5 today...and DMV SUCKS..

sorry to hear that allen... but now you have more time to focus on the 'speed

yup that's it! what is it?

 

[Kansei]

It really looks like the racing beat catback, but didn't you say it didn't have an inner and outer and that it was fully rolled?

is it possible that there's a fifth racing beat / mazdaspeed muffler??

 

[Kansei]

oh just saw the new big pic.. looks like the one joshp5 has, barely oval but just a little bit.

lol can you really call it rice if it came from the factory that way? In all honesty though, the RX-8 tezziez are some of the nicest ones I've seen

yea, the cx-7 has them like that from the factory too i think. at least my friend's did.

the ones i was lookin at for my p5 were from ebay, but o well. i'll pass. those actually look good that way. wish i cud get some

 

[magnumP5]

The P5 is still incapacitated :'( ... It looks like it's going to be that way until next Friday. I just need to find a way to get the car about 14 mi. with a huge oil leak without seizing the engine.

Does anyone know if water will screw up a MAF? Just drops not totally submerged? Somehow water got into my intake track although I have no leaks anywhere (perfect vacuum) (eyeballs)

Going into paint in it's current state pretty much on monday, then getting all the sheetmetal put on and going back into paint on Wednesday. The new front bumper got painted today, I saw it but not up close because it was baking in the paint booth (the paint booth can fit 3 cars!).

So yeah it'll be done being worked on Wednesday, might have to bake the whole car on Thursday and then it's getting detailed and I should have it back Friday I already e-mailed my boss to tell him that I'm leaving work on Friday as soon as I get word that the car is done

Oh and the guy is trimming some stuff to get my intercooler pipe to fit better.

 

[ZoomZoom03]

looks nice. what did you use to paint the dash and all? or are they completely new pieces?

Thanx for the compliment, i used Duplicolor High Performance Vinyl/Fabric Spray Yellow. And it is all original pieces, either removed or taped off to paint. And i noticed your comment regarding altezzas and being flamed. Just a word of advice...if you want something on your car do it, regardless of others opinions, after all it is your car and it should be your vision, plus people will respect your decision if you are behind it. ive had many people compliment my car and many others flame it, but in the end it just means that people are taking time to look at my car and leave feedback. ok im done with my crappy philosophy corner....CHEERS!!
