Any Strips?

I heard they've been thinking about building one (for a bunch of years now) down in the S.W. section around Slocum and Exeter off Rt. 3, but it probably got shot down again. I guess the locals keep fighting it even though it would bring revenue out to the "boonies", the state doesn't want to be responsible and no one is willing to make the private investment. Maybe we could put together some kind of petition or something:)

why didn't u guys come to the northeast protege meet? u guys are only a couple hours away :-)

I've only been in the Mazda scene for something like a couple of months and just recently found this site, so I'm not too up-to-date with events and such. Besides, I haven't done enough mods to feel adequate going to a meet - I might as well stamp "newbie" on my forehead and walk around with an owner's manual.

U dont need mods to go to a meet u just need a protege :-) we just hang out eat and talk ...whats ur plans for ur car ?...Jon 93 lx

So far I've put on a 3" intake that utilizes the stock air flow sensor and box (don't know if that makes a diff), beefed up the tunes, threw on an OEM bra and got the clear tail lights. I've got a short shift on order from our friendly banner up in the corner. My next purchase is gonna be the OEM stut tower bar. I'm looking at a fuel mix chip/box. Thinking about some 8.5mm wires (but they don't come in yellow and, excuse me, but $90?!?!)I'd like some drilled rotors. Been looking for clear corner lights. Started researching for a sway bar upgrade. Thinking about painting the calipers and the "no contact" area of the rotors. And of course I keep her clean and NO F*#KING SMOKING in the car. I know this will take some time but I really like my ride and she's worth it (although my wife doesn't think so).

Sounds like a sweet ride got any pics of it. ?

Gavin September-16th-2002 05:28 PM

I've got the camera but I haven't done a search on how to post them yet. When I do post, I'll put them in the Photo/Video Gallery and do a follow up on this post saying they're up. I'd also like to put a shot on my signature. I don't know if she's all that. She's clean and sounds okay (could use a cat-back but I don't have 600 bills lying around) but compared to some of the pics I've seen here she's kinda plain - got a moonroof and factory fin though :rolleyes:
