Sure 9-10, or 11 you'll see signifcant gains, but there's that whole "Warranty" issue to consider. This is my daily driver, so realibility is important. If straight-line speed was that important to me, I probably would of purchased a quicker car. Handling on the other hand is one of tha major reasons I purchased it.

when and where is the autox? Is it near the downs? I would like to check it out, although I can't really compete (but I so want to) until I stiffen the car and add a cold air or short ram on.

Here's a link to the forums as well as a bunch of neat resources like guides, results and media from the events.
It is near the downs yes. Basically you turn right off Portage at the lights where the road to the dealerships are. Keeping going past there, take a small bend in the road and there's a gate off to the left(just after it becomes one road instead of 2 separated ones). Just go in there and park a bit away if you are just spectating. For the record though, many people run their cars completely stock...in some ways it gives you an idea of where you really need to sink money on mods. I say try it out stock and just see what you think...it's great fun!

Welcome No.5. Glad to see some new proteges out there. You should come on out for a sunday cruise sometime and check out the other rides. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.
Also, where did you buy the speed from...and are you the guy i saw at the Wave car wash? Or the guy i saw cruising down Pembina a couple of weeks ago(at night)?

Could of been me you saw, then again maybe not. There are 2 other Spicy owner's other than me in Wpg. The 2003.5's are starting to hit the street; I saw one parked downtown which was purchased from Gerry Gordon's Mazda. It already had a dent in the rear bumper
Questions...sure will, but I spend the majority of my time within the www.msprotege.com Forum, so I probably won't be that vocal here. But it's good to hang out with other Protege owners in Wpg...

Actually come to think of it, there's 2 Grey 03.5's parked downtown. One purchased from Gerry Gordan's (sticker still on back..this one has the dented bumper). I'm assuming the other is from Gim G. on Regent, since I knew they had one, and the dealership sticker has been removed.
Good to see you join. BTW - how are your rear bushings? - clunking yet? And, experiencing any Stumbling/Hesitation?
I primarily spend the majority of my online time within www.msprotege.com
