everyone has their car posted so heres mine. black...base as crap....only mod so far is a Ebay RAI. only had it for a month and only make 35-40$ a week...give me a break here.

 

sorry for the bad pics, took it with my CamPhone

 

Dude, don't be so hard on yourself! You got a Mazda!

 

man its all good, i got a camera phone too,

moto v300, it takes pretty alright pics..... but the pics of my car i take never turn out alright.... except for when i take pics of my tach and speedo, they seem to be alright

but to the car man, it looks nice.... just continue to keep it clean, and all, how did the intake change the attitude of the car??? must sound alot nicer

 

it sounds real good. i would say its kind of the oppisite of a blow off, it makes a woosh shound when you let the clutch OUT and your in another gear. low RPMS it sourta sounds a bit deisel (sp) ish.... other than that, a slight, barely noticeable oomph at high RPMS.


what i plan on doing is putting another air filter on it, the one i have now is generic kind. also, i dont have foglights, but the bottom grill has pop outs where if i want to put some in i can, but i dont want to. so im taking the right side out, drilling out the light housing and running a custom pipe from there into a hole near the RAI. if you look into a protege (not sure about other years) there is a hole near where a RAI would end. its about 4 1/2 inches wide. im going to make a custom pipe from teh foglight to the hole, and make a shield to go around the RAI and pipe. viola! a CAI Ram air!

 

look into an old thread about home made cai's for how I routed air up into my fliter

 

I have a dx 03 so do not feel bad, at least you are in a mazda, I will post pics soon of my car. It is black just like yours and it is coming along nicely. They have lots of potential, just look at it this way, now you have an excuse to buy an aftermarket tach!

 

hahaha.....good excuse.... but myself personally, i would buy an instrument panel from an lx or es, and hook that up, cuz i really liek the stock look so much more better than having another big a$$ tach there

 

i hate the 5'' tach...its ricy beyond my taste
