I know I'm a but I know a few things...

Post your daily 3rd gen activities here! Whether it be taking her for a cruise, installing some fun new mods, smashing it into a concrete barrier.. anything goes.

I know I'm not the only one who is always doing stuff with and to their 3rd gen Protege.

Just today, I rewired my auxiliary gauges (boost, oil pressure, egt) so that they light up amber instead of the dim red they were lighting up. The gauges are actually visible in daylight now, woohoo!

 

I'm putting my side business decal on the back window today, and possibly sealing up my new taillights to put on. - and and cleaning the dash... "wash me" written on it is bothering me now

 

I went surfing and spilled some tortilla chips between the seats. w00t!

 

eating in the car?! *gassssp*

 

I had to get my new summer tires re-balanced this morning because some moron
didn't know how to use the machine, I guess...

Bought a set of Sumitomos from Tire Rack and I'm gonna beat on them all summer and see how they hold up compared to my late, but beloved Yokohamas.

 

Just picked up my car from getting it's oil changed and tires rotated.

I past 55,000 miles last week.

 

haha, yeah, now that the P5's our family car, I kinda gave up trying to keep it perfectly clean. I still wash, wax and take care of the Protege, but now it's the FD that gets the royal treatment...but only because I can't keep the P5 clean for more than a couple days.

 

Filled up on gas at a whoppin $3.03 a gallon. Came out to almost $40!!!

 

Damn wish it was that cheap here. I filled up last night at 3.67 a gallon

plus boost makes gasoline go bye-bye so it sucks.

Oh well.. if gas prices were too high I'd be putting more miles on my bike than my car.. until then, my bike is just for pleasure and fitness :P

 

I watched my odometer turn over to 48,000 miles on the way to work this morning. At my current average fuel economy, that means I have burned over 1540 gallons of gas since it was new.

 

i looked at it through the window

 

Almost all the parts have arrived for an upcoming revision--RB springs, HP struts, MSP front upper strut mounts and rear trailing links, AWR side inserts, SLS front mount. But where to start a thread on it?

 

Why hello thar josh

I'd say in the general 3rd gen forum would work.. it's a mix of suspension and other stuff. Maybe make "Joshp5's Protege Build Thread" or somethin?

 

How about the How-To section? It needs a little contribution .. and those would be good things to add it with nice pictures.

Almost forgot about that! Yeah definitely at least take a lot of pictures, do a write-up if you'd like. Even if you just get pictures I can do the writeup from memory for most Protege things haha.
