Another newb!

I was pointed in this direction from a Mazda forum, and since I'm tryin' to find more car people in the area, I thought I'd make a post to say hello! I just moved into a new apartment in Elkins Park a few weeks ago -- it's just a little south of the Jenkintown/Abington area.

Don't wanna be lame and post without pics, so here's a couple shots of my car. It's a 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege. It's had some work done, and has more work to come, LOL. It's even changed slightly since these pictures were taken -- but you get the general idea.

Hmm... I never really got into Protege's, idk why. I think its bc the few i've seen around here go overboard and throw graphics and crap all over them and make them look stupid.

lol, but thats beside the point. Yours is nicely done... very clean.

I understand what you mean about the Protege's. Considering how many of them there are in the world -- not too many are done up with actual taste. Half the time, as soon as I tell people I drive a Protege, they start bad-mouthing before they've even seen my car. Sigh.

But thanks for the props on the hood, everyone! It's actually one that's pretty hard to find. A company up in Canada made them, and not too many. And I just got it painted to match my car this past summer. It definitely helped it to 'fit in' with the rest of everything.

I'll definitely keep an eye on the PA meets section, though. I've been dying to find some other tuners in the area, haha.

Engine bay pics will be coming soon, hopefully .. I have a couple more things I want to throw in before I start snapping pictures. I hate taking shots of stuff when it's only half-finished. But it's nothing too overly impressive. Being my daily driver, it makes it difficult to keep everything pristine, unfortunately.

I'll make sure to post a couple new photos after this weekend .. You can't really see it in the pics (I chose carefully, haha), but my car isn't lowered evenly. Thanks to the retarded stock struts and a set of Tein S-Tech springs, the rear is flying high compared to the front -- it makes me crazy. But I'm putting on some Illumina struts and coilover sleeves this weekend that should even everything out. I can't friggin' wait!

What?! lol, good to know. Nice to see some new female members on here, nonetheless females that aren't DSM owners.


I bet $$$ you change your thread topic to having something about being a female in it you'll get 10x more posts. Thats the guys on TST for ya. lolol

WARNING: you better get pics of you on here asap, bc the posts in this thread will quickly change from "Welcome to TST, Nice car!" to "Welcome to TST, Nice car, now post pics of YOU."

Don't rely on the PA section for meets. Most of the weekly meets are in the Upcoming Events catagory. There's a meet tomorrow that a good amount of people should be showing up too. The original thread was "Thursday Meet Idea..do it," then it changed to "Well Thursday nights?," and now I guess its back to the Thursday Meet Idea...do it..., you should think about swingin by and meeting some people.
