the other joe
Greetings everyone, I see I have already aquired the tag of the "other" joe. I guess I would be the newcomer to the Maine crew. I just bought a 95 Protege 5 speed. Body has 223,000 miles on it but the engine/drivetrain has a little over 70k. First Mazda I have owned and I must admit, I'm sold. I love the car. And regardless of what Ian say's, my car would smoke his!!

Welcome, Joe. Since you guys live practically in the same town, I am sure we will be hearing a lot about you two racing. Hopefully, sometimes soon we all would be able to meet somewhere in Maine, so we all can race one another.

Well, I should probably ask this or I won't have any clue, but how do you flush the tranny? Is there a cap on the bottom of the transmission like the oil? And where do you refill the tranny fluid once you flush it?
Another thing I was wondering is what you guys are paying for custom exhausts? All I want is a 2" pipe and a nice sport muffler for a little bit more tone and some better airflow, I don't want anything bigger cuz I don't want my car to sound like a cracked out bumblebee

Speaking of rims, does anyone have a good connection on a set of 15" gold or polished aluminum rims? I can't do eBay because my ex-gf decided not to pay for any of the stuff so I got banned 
. So if anyone can find a set I can spend about $350-450 w/o tires. The car would look much nicer, not that it doesn't now, but rims would add a nice effect to the car.

I think we are getting off the ground pretty good right now. With 11 people and growing we should have a good meet in the spring within our own club, let alone joining with CT people. I will be updating the website this weekend, so those of you who do not have on the website, get them to me, thanks.

I need to hurry and get a digicam so I can take a pic of my car. It looks like sh*t right now because of the salt and calcium on the roads, bad thing about having black cars. But I think we're getting off to a good start, at least we have double digit people. I would like to get some kind of emblem, I don't really like the big stickers, but something small would be nice to represent a little bit :-) You know, since there's so many Mainers who get into Mazdas and all. 
It would be nice to get a pic of everyone's car together to see all the different generation and year changes.
