What? 22k. I have more than that on my 2000 ES.
I like your Rice Citation.

Governor's Auto Body (Governor & Thomas St., E.H.). I had seen tons of nice cars in there, cause I used to work right next door. It was recommended by Allstate. They did the work quickly, and paint was last. Not sure what happened then. Got swirls all over the door and hood.

I use Woodland on Burnside, but I think there all the same.

have you seen that blue Focus ZX3 around: white rims, a big wing?

That's the third sighting that we've heard of. We've never seen him though. We should know if he was on focaljet.com, but I've never heard of him. Interesting....

He works at Sterling Auto on Prospect St in E.Htfd. But I think he might live in S. Windsor.

wow CT eh?

well well well, I cant believe we have this many people from CT with protege's on this board. Ive seen 4 Pro 5's including mine on the road.
One blue one at work. Including my silver one.
A yellow and possibly another silver one.

Anyone change their fog lights yet, or remove the shield? Im only getting 1ft distance with those fog lights. Its a joke.

Main lights I get like 50ft to 300 depending on the road surface. Im going to adjust them just a tad bit higher ... its too dark out in canton with just the lows. Even my highs are too low. Anyone know how to adjust them?

Yep, I got the engine rattle noise when cold. Still trying to figure that one out.

Seat belt gets twisted in shoulder loop. trying to figure that one out too. Ill have to let it recoil slowly untill I do.

Clutch catches way to early and and the shifter doesnt feel smooth some times. Kinda like a bump from trying to gear mesh properly. Adjustment ideas on this?

thanks for your help

Hi Matt. I have a parttime jop in Avon. but your questions 1) my friend has the P5 and the fog lights are a joke but every OEM fog light is and no I don't know of any one who has changed them. 2) Yes there is a way to rise the level that your lights are at. should be in your owners manual. 3) your engine noise.... no I done have that and this is the first time i've heard of it. call the dealer. 4) seat belt I don't know what your doing. 5) clutch call dealer I haven't heard of them doing that. and last of all the stifter, it sucks.. and can be fixed or so i've been told with a short sifter.

opps I didnt reply to this. Im on so many protege forums.

I was able to adjust the fog lights and now they work really good. So good even with the stock blubs, they put out more light than the lows.

Ive been able to adjust the clutch, its pretty easy and its done at the clutch pedal level.

Its still notchy in 2 and 3, so Im thinking the linkage needs to be readjusted. That, I probably have the dealer fix that seeing its a more detailed.

Anyone find mud flaps or nerf pads for the cargo rack?

Thanks

I was born there too. Moved to FL 15 years ago. I get back there once or twice a year, don't know if the Pro will get there or not. I usually fly up.
