My first foray into the car modding world. I think the protege5 was not only the best looking wagon, but the best looking car on the road for under $17,000. Why did Mazda sell em in the US for only 2 years??

 

just to make it fair i think we should have a sedan winner and a P5 winner.....buuuut just a thought...

Or if we have enough 2 of each...

 

Sunlight Silver 2001 Miata
Options: Nothin'.

appearance: Um...Nothin'

Suspension/Wheels: Flyin' Miata springs n' sways, KYB AGX shocks, Jackson Racing strut tower brace, 15X7 Panasports wrapped in 205/50-15 Kumho MXs.

Performance: Z-Engineering supercharger, Enthuza speeder exhaust.

Safety: Harddog Extreme rollbar, 139db airhorn.

My wife bought this car and drove it for about two years before I ever upgraded it. When we had our baby, she took ove on the wagon and I got the Miata. It actually worked out well for me because the Miata is so damn fun to drive and parts are cheap and easy to find(compared to the P5).

 

Damnit, my suspension pieces are on their way. If you wanna go ahead, can we at least make another of these in a month or so when the blower/suspension/audio is finished and most of the dents are pulled out?

 

Natey, those are all awesome....I'm lovin the blower on the miata though! In all honesty though I think this thread was started to get the protege more exposure.

Miller, I think we'll have Justin do up some nice pictures of your car and then we'll send out some proposals

 

Sweet cars! All I have so far is motor mounts which are yet to be installed on the MP3!

Natey-Those pictures are really nice. That picture with the deer is awesome, you should screamed right before you took the picture so they'd be looking right at you!

 

woah i almost missed this thread, gotta get my mp5 washed and photographed, i dont have much in the way of mods but what the hell.

 

When do we vote? (too late to submit my new black msp?)

 

nah, go ahead and get some pics and a description up...make sure it actually includes more than a mod list.

I have owned several Protege's - 92DX/01ES/03LX/03.5MSP/03MSP. This car is by far the best car I have owned (and also the fastest). I like the fact that it's a limited production car, so I get to have something unique, not many of these in my area (that I know of). Very quick and corners like it's on rails. Not sure which direction I will be taking the car, since I've only owned it a week or two.


oh, and i suck at writing..."D" in college English

qwksilvr, there is no description of your car...if you see what I posted above it says "make sure it actually includes more than a mod list.".....not much of an article if it's just a mod list.

 

qwksilvr, what did you do to your tails? I like.

 

My car was bought in March 2002 (first in Reno) with the intension to be different. Like everywhere else honda/acura run wild here. Everyone wondered WTF?!?! I saw potential.. First things first, the obvious and easy intake and exhust.. Then the wait for decent aftermarket (AWR, SRMotorsports, Mazdaspeed). Besides the 4" drop my car looked stock, I got bored with it. I had all the "bolt ons" , a maxed credit card, and a girlfriend with a 2000 es. After thinking for about an hour after the initial thought, I called some friends and got to work on a front end swap. What I thought would take a few hours, (and was just a test to see how it would look) took a day and a half. Too lazy to change it back, got kit, paint and its progress stops at what you see today (till more $$$).

 

I am removing my car from this list, as I am leaving on business and will be gone for a couple months or more. May not be able to get on line, and sure won't be able to submit anything if I were chosen. Maybe next time, when I should have more done to it.
