[js_protege_03dx]

what type of exhaust do u have?
do u have any clips of it?
im lookin for an exhaust 4 my protege

[Ricktalife]

aww geez dude that street glow is major rice. but i must say i LOVE your sound system! that must give you a wet spot in your pants when you turn it on.

[lovemyfs2003]

i dont hate but imma have to go with rice. unless you sell all stereo and body kit, strip interior, buy engine parts and ball out. thats my opinion, but very clean over all not my cup of tea but for what your going for, done very well and not the easy cheap way.(rice)

[bgibb68]

i say if ya keep the neons off it's a nice ride....


and don't you dare lose that system....i like.....minus the neons....

[7zimmer7]

it's just a muffler my buddy had layin around his garage and gave me for free. i cut off the racingbeat and welded this one on. just gives it a lil deeper tone. go with a turbo-back vibrant. wish i could but i'm low on the cash.. story of my life.

[js_protege_03dx]

where could i get it from?
is there a website?

vibrant is only j-pipe back.

edit: and what alpine headunit is that? model number that is?

[MazdaPro03.5]

Do you have neons in your air vent? I have to agree, I'm not a big fan of all the lights but your ride looks good.

[speed6r]

Well Done Sir!

[7zimmer7]

o just for the record. i bought the car with the a body kit but i swapped it out with the buddyclub2 cuz i didnt wana buy factory bumpers.
streetglow came on it also.
guages were too damn dim so i bought those blue ones.
audio system is my favorite. i'v been workin for an car audio/video store so i get stuff cheap. i can set off alarms and make my brain bleed. i'v actually broke the intercom at the driveway of burgerking. they came out with a pen and paper after waiting there for 10mins.

[7zimmer7]

yeah lights in the vents. got a lil carried away. their under the front seats to light up the back floor too. prolly wont do any of this on my next car.

[7zimmer7]

where could i get it from?
is there a website?

sure. go to ebay and buy a universal muffler that you like for like $30 probly. just get the right size inlet.

[kidicenj]

where did you get the sweet blue gauges?! they are NICE!

[js_protege_03dx]

sure. go to ebay and buy a universal muffler that you like for like $30 probly. just get the right size inlet.
thanks bro
o btw love what u have done,
switches in the center console!!
what r those 4?
neva seen that b4, looks cool

[7zimmer7]

coughebaycough...

[justanothermp5]

AWWW man, u had it until those last pics
take the neon out from the outside, the inside is ok but the outside is a no go

also, the rims are ok but they look like they way a ton, i would go for some lighter ones but thats just me

overall i like it, but not the neon

edit: just saw it came with the car, sorry bout that but get rid of them asap lol

[7zimmer7]

thanks bro

1 switch is for vent light
one for floor lights
one for that 12v outlet on the floor so it's not on all the time but will stay on when i shut my car off if i want.

and sure i can post a vid sometime when i get a chance

[7zimmer7]

the outside streetglow came on the car and i just don't wanna take it off. i hardly ever use it. anyone wanna buy it?

[kidicenj]

are the gauges like universal? or specially for the msp?

[Ricktalife]

universal

[HighwayUFO]

Different wheels
Ditch the neon
Everyone has to have something, you have stereo and dynamat
Clean up all the rice and you would have a nice car.

which alpine headunit is that? ive been looking for a good headunit. and the rest of my system is gonna be alpine anyway so this is kinda what im looking for.

[7zimmer7]

wanna buy it? alpine iva w505. pm me if interested. brand new.

[WIMSPWI]

don't sell the alpine...you'll regret it. i had a w205, sold it, missed it...so then i bought the 505...lol

[bgibb68]

i just looked at that hu.....it has a ton of optional accessories.....but for a grand half of those should be built in



edit: just found a place online with it for 750........so what's so good about it where it's (almost) a grand but w/o built in nav, bt, etc??

[SCMP3]

im unemployed as of now anyways so i couldnt buy it if i wanted to. but how is the intergration with the ipod? start up times and all that?

[sanblaster]

I like it minus the motegi sticker and tails and I like a lil neon, not a ton. I like it overall. And that system is nice.

[NEWBMAZDA]

hey bro very nice MSP... Loving the lights and the sound system

[11B-33T]

The neon is a bit too much but your hard work is noted & shows. Nice ride overall..(2thumbs)

BTW, nice set of Deeres in the background! Ya get to rock those things at high speeds?

[7zimmer7]

don't sell the alpine...you'll regret it. i had a w205, sold it, missed it...so then i bought the 505...lol

i'm kinda preparing myself for the ms6. i really like that car and it's a din and a half so the alpine wont fit. i kinda want to strip this car of everything and sell it bone stock except the bumpers and rims. i hate being this low to the ground. my roads are terrible. i really like the awd and speed of the ms6.

[7zimmer7]

im unemployed as of now anyways so i couldnt buy it if i wanted to. but how is the intergration with the ipod? start up times and all that?

this thing is amazing. you rest your finger on the screen and it sense's that you pushed the button. ipod is great. you can either scroll by one song or by page. and if you list is really long you can move to the middle of the list by moving a slider. very simple. alpine has definatly put out a great headunit.
the reason you see 2 plug-in's for the ipod in my glove box is because one is the fullspeed which allows you to scroll alot faster through songs but the other allows you to watch videos but the scrolling is a lil slower. i usually leave it in the fullspeed connection cuz i hardly ever watch vids.
start up time is prolly 5 seconds. by the time you start your car and buckle. or think about buckling, it's on.

[mazda_dan]

very nice! but not my style. i also see you are a skateboarder there is a board in my msp trunk 24 7 lol. and virbant makes a 3 inch turboback exhaust.

that's cool. now does it have all of the features of the ipod? shuffle specifically?

[Pmpkinhead]

There are aluminum battery cages on ebay that are made for your Optima battery, I have the same one and the cage really stands out and cleans up that corner of the engine bay. They are about $125.00.

I like the job you did on her, looks great!(bow)

-neons
-tail lights

& that is was slick car y0 :)

[Outlawstar98]

Switch the tails to eaither stock or the ones with the Reverse on the bottom. (you can make them darker if u want, and it will be MUCH better) Then Get a Exhaust, WHen I got my car it had a muffle welded on, first mod was to get rid of it because Its not a real exhaust and dont help shit. But also do more motor mods, Mainly a FMIC and ditch the blingie grill because it makes your car not look right, but if u had a massive FMIC there now that would be sickkkkk. The wheels I dont mind as much though. Make the tint a little darker (get 35% because its not to dark, and its not to light) But the sound system and electrics are ok, Its not my thing but meh. haha. Just ditch tails and grill and ill be happy, And MUST do engine mods. Its a MUST.

[xDJ DUBx]

What billet grille?

All I see is the chromish chicken wire stuff the body kit comes with.

Yeh, that crap, its fugly. I rather see a FMIC there :) (nana)

[xDJ DUBx]

I'd rather see fog lights. BAHAHAHA










....who am I kidding, I'd rather see a fmic too...........

[7zimmer7]

idk if you read earlier in the post but i'm gunna sell the msp. wish it woulda came with the stock bumpers cuz i would prolly keep it then. but i need sumthing higher off the ground and a softer ride. i wish i could convince myself to keep it and upgrade the engine but i'm think of later in life and i'm gunna want sumthing a lil more reliable and dont havta worry about speed bumps or havin bunch of people in my car and bottoming out

but thanks for the comments guys! this is what i pretty much expected. some will like and some wont. i'm in the same boat. this car turns heads but i'm not too proud of the engine.
thanks

[mazdaspeedster3]

No one said you have to run the neon at night. Just leave them off and I think any Mazda enthusiast would respect your ride. good job!

[xDJ DUBx]

I say, sell the BC2, pick up the regular stock rear and sedan front for 200 bucks or so on ebay, beef and the motor and be complete sleeper status :)

[SeR_Cyclops]

Wow im not a big fan of the rice lights but im going to give this one to you, just because the interior lights were so well done i will say ok the lights are alright. that is a NICE car, i can see where the lights can be considered rice but at least they were done RIGHT!!!

[klinkb]

how much you planning on selling that HU for?

[special--k]

Im going to agree with 99% of people at say leave the neons off. The floor LEDs are alright, but not the underglow or vent lights. I love the detail in the sound system. I have 1 L7 in my MSP and it hits hard. Cant imaging what yours sounds like. Must be scary!!

[7zimmer7]

sorry for the slow responce. been pretty busy

but as of right now the car and all the goods in it are for sale.
havnt had time for pics yet but you can see everything in this forum. i'll post it all in the for sale soon.

thanks for all the replys!

and a few people that ride in the back tell me to turn it down cuz it's hard for them to breathe. ha i guess thats loud enough.. o and the cop pulled me over cuz HE Knew it wuznt the "stock cd player in my car" and that the "boom boom" needed to be turned down. hahah

alpine touchscreen askin $700 shipped. with ipod fullspeed cord.

[Ricktalife]

i would have bought that headunit from you if you had pm'ed me back...but now i bought a pioneer instead.
