first upgrade?
ok, so if all goes well, I'll be the proud owner of a 2002 silver protege 5... I was wondering what is a good first upgrade? I'm thinking about a intake and exhaust are going to be among the first few upgrades...
What are some good sights that sell protege stuff? and does anyone make projector lights for the 5? |
protegegarage.com, corksport.com, and the (in)famous ebay. All of those offer LOTS of stuff to choose from. Everything from performance, to interior and exterior mods.
Happy surfing. |
awsome thanks man!
|
the best first upgrade is exhaust..it will compliment any of your other power mods..most people start with intake though, easier install and cheaper
|
Yup, exhaust was my first upgrade. Welcome to the site.
Other sites: mazadastuff.com for oem parts, generally cheaper than dealers, and I got my springs from adventon.com, best price I could find and excellent customer service. Also check out the FS section, Chris (FC3Sboy) from SPD Racing always has stuff for our cars. I got my intake from him & I'm very happy with it. |
free the exhaust system
1)CAI
2)http://www.wagnermotorsports.net/index.htm wagner header(u might choose other brand, but wagner's is inexpensive and good quality),down pipe w/cat(w/o cat,you'll have CEL problem for sure), and mid pipe w/o cat(if your state has no emission check). 3)nice brand of catback exhaust system All above could give you at least 15hp. |
If you're looking for power, then Intake and exhaust would be the first upgrades I'd go with. However, if you're looking for improving your driving experience, I'd go with a short shifter and some performance pedals (Mazdaspeed set is really nice) and some lowering springs. It all depends on what you're looking for.
