i know them over there (nice people it used to be just a miata mag.) i'm sure if matty had his car all done they would want to shoot it

 

Okay.... so Matty's car is a good candidate. Who else? Phantom Cruiser's car looks great, and it already has received some recognition at shows, etc. Then there are the folks who have all the autocross goodies on their rides. Then there is the guy who built up the 1.6L SC car. Folks, there are many, many people on this forum with newsworthy rides. Heck, with the thousands of members that we've got, we are a newsworthy club in our own right! Anyone who attended the meet in February given any thought to throwing some pics and a brief write up of that towards Mazdasport?

 

why dont we get a list of cars and pics with the owners writeing up a summary then send it to them all at once.. that would say that the protege scene is here. we were just bieng queit..

 

You all can list mine as soon as I can get my hands on some more stickers.

 

Uh, yeah - why don't you put a giant APC sticker across the top of your windshield?

 

no, one that says OMGISOCRZYFST!!!

 

I would like to see a write up on the SCP5. Rod have you done any other testing besides dragracing, like autox or a track day ? It might me in the SC thread but I didnt look

 

i haven't taken it on any auto-x events yet since the suspension is mostly stock and the shitty dunlops dont grab for anything....

I have some mazdaspeed suspension pieces showing up this week (new struts) and I'm ordering the Tein S-techs for both the p5 and the rx7 so I'll have a full spring/strut upgrade on the p5....should be a noticeable difference.

 

Im sorry but "JUST" slapping a blower?!, dude that makes it unique itself instead of huge triple decker wings on a frontwheel drive car, yeah im with juddz too, i think that judge needs to be kicked in the nuts!, but thats my opinion

 

...I think that the quality of the write up will determine whether any of the cars on this forum "make the cut". I mean, my gawd, there was an ode to Miatas in the last issue.

 

hahaha....miatas get a LOT more respect than proteges....I think if anything we'd have to nominate or choose select proteges to represent the collective populous...

I saw "Matthew" ot his p5 featured on Mazdausa.com but he looked/sounded like the biggest ricer tool in the world. The even mentioned "F&F".....if anyone ever compares my car to anything fast and furious I'll be heavily upset.

 

matthew is partin out his car.. he could never get the new turbo kit running right, so he is tryin to sell everything..

 

and if you are gonna get a group of proteges to send out, do stuff like send rods, a turbocharged one, heavily moded exterior/interior, high output stereo. send them an array of different catagorys of mods and models of the 3rd gen protege..

 

Okay, here is my latest proposal.

Lets get a lot of people to write in with their mods and pics of their cars, if for no other reason than to show these guys that there is a vibrant Protege community out there. I will send in pics and a description of mine. I admit, my car is a little lighter on the mods than some, but I am proud of it, and it could at least make letters section. A lot of times, I have noticed that the "Readers Rides" in SCC or other magazines are not half as cool as my car.

Those of you with more originality in your rides (i.e. Matty) could hope for a lot more than a brief mention. It's a great way to plug our forum, too. We are always complaining that there are not enough actively contributing members...

 

true, I think Shoguyn is right. We should do a small write up on a few different cars....a msp, p5, sedan, mp3, big engine car, big stereo car, big "bling" car, big grip car, etc.....this would show them the amount of customization you can have with everything. No matter your into the Protege has something for you.
