List up your mods (the sequel)
 
Hey, guys -
It's been a while since we've done this, and I'm sure that you've added a ton of stuff (like me) since the last time you listed up your mods. Let's throw in some of our favorite factory items this time too. Here's my 2003 Mazda P5:

Mods:
1) Mazdaspeed exhaust
2) AEM SRI
3) Unorthodox Racing underdrive pulley, (new Gates belts too!)
4) Wagner stainless steel header (BTW, this kicks ass)
5) NGK iridium spark plugs
6) Eibach Pro-kit progressive rate springs (approx. 1.5" lower)
7) Audiobahn self-amplified tube type subwoofer
8) Mazdaspeed floormats (genuine)
9) Mazdaspeed shift knob (genuine)
10) Pulled the roof rack... (I don't have an active lifestyle...)


Ten best factory options & standard equipment
1) 5-speed manual trans (and she IS a sweetheart)
2) Polished alloys - 16"
3) 6-disc in dash CD changer
4) Power moonroof
5) Leather seats (like the Jeffersons, I'm movin' on up)
6) Electronic brake proportioning & ABS
7) Strut tower bar (so cool...)
8) Satin nickel interior trim
9) One sweet DOHC 2.0L engine that loves to rev
10) A dead pedal (it's not a big deal until you realize how other brands have it)

So there you have it. Now, it's your turn. And for those of you who haven't visited the garage in a while, post some pics of your ride there so we can see what you've got goin' on.

He thinks it handles great and rides hard enough as it is now and he thinks i'll have problems with clearance over speedbumps and other crap like that if i lower it any more than it is stock.

Phantom Cruiser December-23rd-2004 03:31 PM

It does handle great in the stock form. However, it will handle superbly with a few suspension tweaks.

Not that I would know, since I'm just a ricer! ;)

Tyrael6666 December-23rd-2004 05:02 PM

I gotta AEM SRI and a custom 2.5 inch cat-back with an OBX muffler. Wow, I need more stuff =o

Macleod December-25th-2004 10:17 PM

Prepare to be amazed
 
I've got the '03 Protege DX ('cause those electric window motors are dead weight). Its got the 2.0L w/ 5speed. It's sittin on 15s with bridgestones up front and dunlops in back. Those are set off by a set of 15in CAR&DRIVER hubcaps from Target(ABS Plactic baby.. they may fall off under heavy braking, but they won't shatter as they roll by). Up top I've got a state-of-the-art Yakima bike rack rated for 165lbs carrying a 20lb Brisa B26 expert. For custom paint I have fine northern Virginia clay kicked up around thanksgiving. Now for the piece de resistance.. The interior. I've got some Trojans in the glove box next to the unpaid parking ticket. To block sun between the visors I have my Smart-Tag transmitter. The Floor is lined with broken CDs. Well that's the good stuff. Top that Fellas!
