Hey all. What's up? New guy here from Lansdale, PA. Spotted a site sticker on a WRX and thought I'd drop by.
Relatively new to the import tuning scene, but was previously involved with muscle cars (70.5 Camaro, 63 Nova, 79 T/A, 87 GTA). My current ride is a 2003 Mazda Protege 5 in Sunlight Silver that has: Eibach Pro-Kit, Racing Beat cat-back, Injen CAI, Magnecor wires, Wagner Motorsports shorty headr (soon to be replaced), Nitto Neo-Gens on stock wheels (boo!) and a few tasteful appearance mods.
So, if you spot me, feel free to run me off the road.

Peace.

awesome. I really just started liking the looks of the protege's. There are about a dozen mazda's here...mostly RX7's. Welcome to the community, hope to see you at the meets.

Thanks dude. Don't know how many meets I can get to, I have very little free time working two jobs and all. Definitely would give it a shot, though. What are the prerequisites for club membership? Still trying to find time to get back into the Mazda club I helped start up. lol

Thanks for the compliments. I would be remiss if I didn't return the kind words. The Rex looks bada$$! Still got a few tricks up my sleeve for appearance, as soon as time and money allow. The Pro-Kit, IMHO, IS the best drop for a "driven" Protege. Although the Espilir kit looks to be a pretty good one, too.

Welcome! What kind of club do you have? Bring them over to the site.

It's a Mazda enthusiast club, based on the PA/NJ/NYC areas. We have monthly state-by-state mini-meets, and planning is underway for our second big bash. Last year's, at a park in New Brunswick, NJ, brought out 75 Proteges from the Caralinas to New England. On about 6 weeks notice/Planning. We're looking to get 150-200 this year.
Link for the club, MTMA, is in my sig. Check it out if you'd like.

Welcome to the site, what kinds of appearance mods do u have done?

Not too many. Mostly interior.
Custom shorty antenna and brushed aluminum guage rings (Thanks DaveB.), G2 caliper paint. I know it may be considered ricey, but the oem "rust color" just wasn't cutting it. Pedal covers/ dead pedal. Underdash neons (red), done mostly as a joke, since on some other boards I've seen it listed as a "mod". But I think I'm the only one that got the joke.
Hope to have a DGMotorsports urethane front lip by the end of summer, and maybe a few other odds and ends (rearview disco ball, perhaps?)

What's up man. Welcome to the club. I have a 2003 1/2 MazdaSpeed protege. I don't have anything done to it yet but I have a ton of ideas. If you ever want to talk about ideas just PM me on here. And again Welcome
