protege 5 tunning

I was wondering what the easiest and most efficient tunning mods are for this car. By efficient I mean the most bang for your buck. At this point I'm only interested in getting more HP and later I will improve the handling. Can anyone please list some inexpensive suggestion and their approximate price? Any help is much appreciated.

Ever heard of the search function? I'm not pointing you out in particular, but everyone who is asking for "bang for the buck" advice. This topic has been discussed bajillions of times!

Hey, Nigaud5sx, shut the f**k up, you no-car m*****f***er.

If you can't make your payments, you're NOT ALLOWED to scold other posters. That's the rule. Especially after the ludicrous crap you've been posting lately.

Man, some people know when to keep quiet, and others, (...plane flies overhead).

I'm wondering the same thing, how about a new Spark coil, one that allows the plugs to fire twice, or a new fule pump to get more fuel in the system. Anyone have any experiece with these?

JoeT...kiss my ***. Just because I don't have a Protegé5 doesn't mean I can't post. I think it's you that needs to shut up.

Oh and BTW, I wasn't "scolding" junglist. I was offering advice. Even you know that this topic has been discussed many times, and there is a wealth of information to be found by simply searching for it. Again, JoeT, kiss my ***.

FIRST OFF....JOE T.....there is NO rule about having to have a mazda of any kind to post on this board....HOWEVER, there IS a rule about personal attacks.....watch your step.

NOW....hello Juglist and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to our Club. There are TWO BIG fridge'S in the corner with anything you can think of in them...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have.

make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!


As for your question....well if you don't plan on breaking the bank and going for a turbo....then you will be looking for an Intake, cat-back exhaust, maybe Cams.....a short shifter.....as for cost...its really dependant on what brands you get and where you get them.

I don't want to get in the middle of this or take sides...BUT I am tired of people who always yell at people to do a search. People will stop coming here if they get yelled at. I'm not saying that people shouldn't use the search function & FAQ, It's great, why do you think I don't post that much, I search for 90% of my info, I just think we all could be nicer about it, try saying "well you could try this or this for your first mod, but people have debated about this before, so try searching." Don't be ignorant or flame people over it. Life's too short.

junglist - good luck with your car. I'll do the racing beat exhaust eventually. You might want to check it out as a possible mod.

sir nuke - he had it coming. I suspect I'm not the only one who thinks so.
And don't flatter yourself with that "thin line" crap. I'm done with this board.
