Saskatchewan??
Hey. Are there many other Protege owners on these boards from Sask? I know KrisA is from Regina too but he doesn't reply to Private Messages
Any more prairie folk in here?

Ack! I've never checked my pm's before, I'll do it now!
Edit - I've noticed lots of nice Protege's here, most of them being 5's. Most ES GT's I see are driven by older people.
Have you done any mods to your car performance wise? I love my Protege but want more power. I know that there is lots out there (intake, cams, exhaust, etc) but I think I'll wait a couple of years before modifying the Protege. Mods to the MR2 will likely come first, or I might just save some $ for an RX-8.
Have you tried auto-x? I think I'll do some this summer. QCMA has events at both the Lawson and at Kings Park. I'm leary of doing the events at Kings Park as the last thing I need is to run my MR2 into a wall. Apparently it almost happened to a guy in his (kick ***) VW Cabrio, since then he has not done any of the Kings Park events. I will try to do the Lawson events assuming the courses are big enough, I want courses that I can run all in second gear or up as down shifting from 2-1 at speed it horrible for your tranny.

Hey all,
Nope, no autocross for me. I have an automatic
so I never really considered it as a choice. I'm not really into racing anyway.
Mods, well besides stereo I haven't done anything. I have an AEM intake sitting in my basement right now but it is much too cold to install it. I want to keep as much warranty as possible so I won't be doing anything much for a while. Even exhaust is probably at least a year away.
My car is getting thrashed on SoundDomain right now. Somehow it got thrown into the top 10 so now a bunch of V8 loving ****** are voting it down because it is a 4 banger. Apparently they don't think too much of my stereo either because that has dropped significantly too.
