I suppose it was only a matter of time before it happened, especially considering how many other cars have been getting hit. Today on my way over to Pentagon City, grandma and granpa decided to rear end me. The good news is, it was at a stop light and I estimate their speed to be between...

I wasn't the only one taking photos but I appear to be the first to put them up... be gentle on my bandwidth, it's a freebie account. http://jfearing.netfirms.com I hope I cooked everyone's food ok and it was nice meeting everyone.

I picked my car up today from getting its first oil change (2900 miles) and a warped brake rotor. I had noticed within the 2nd week of owning the car that it would under steer to the right under hard braking. Didn't really think much of it until I took the time to read some TSBs on the car. Plus...

Went to the local gas station today to try some high test gas (93 octane). No really reason for it but wanted to try it for the next several gas tanks on a fresh oil change (first one) to see if MPG improves any. As you know the gas tank holds 14.5 and the 1/4 tank mark is approximately 2.5-3...

Long story, short... I need to have the exhaust tested. Parents are involved, and they are concerned that my exhaust is not legit. According to HKS's website the axle-back is legit in emissions and noise for California. I'd imagine that if it's gravy in California, it is in NJ, correct? Anyone...

Terry & Co. put on a great gathering together, glad I could be apart of the activities. Some photos for you... http://jfearing.netfirms.com/spoolmeet Thanks again for the hospitality today.

I've spent a few hours over the past several days working on a rough "outline" of things to come. I figured that if I could get things far enough along before Spool's Open House than the membership campaign could begin on Sunday @ the Open House. http://mapc.4t.com Go check it out and please...

So I've had my car for a month now and between the girlfriend or taking a buddy out for a ride the consensus is: What were they thinking with the door locks? I've had some complaints about the system they've gone with and I'm wondering (perhaps) if others dislike this or if this was done for a...

They put their new site up today... simply amazing! www.2advanced.com

I held off on the proclamation immediately as I wanted to make sure that this was a good group. Ive never been a member of a car club and having that feeling of fitting in and being welcome was important to me. I attended the first meeting (its held the first Wednesday of each month) and just...

Tomorrow night I'm heading over to Brown's Mazda in Alexandria, VA to install my HKS axle-back exhaust. The box is scheduled to arrive tomorrow afternoon and my appointment is @ 8:00pm. My question(s)... 1. Install Does it come with some instructions so when I get it up on the lift I know...

The time has come to tint the windows... going to go with 35% all around. So now comes the burning question, where? I live in the NE corner of DC but willing to drive upto an hour (No.VA) to get the job done. If those of you who have done this would be so kind as to share your location, their...

I've had the car since the 20th of June, I've put 1600 miles on it with a majority of that being the break-in period. I actually didn't push the engine above 65mph (or 4k rpm) until 800 miles for good measure. Although it's been warm, down right opressive at times I've limited the A/C use till I...

This exhaust (axle-back) is currently my first choice to replace the stock configuration when the time comes. However, I'm curious about what it actually looks like. When at my local Mazda dealership they showed me the "Mazdaspeed exhaust" that they ready to sell me for $258.00 + tax. However...

Pretty misleading title, eh? I picked up my Protege5 last week and continue to break-in slowly without pushing the vehicle. Today was the 'high' speed testing run on Rt. 78 & 287 in NJ. The car never went over 3000rpm/65mph but I noticed something... odd... The car is a 4-speed "sport"...

Is it possible to change the location of the PM display from the bottom of the forum listing to the top? I find the e-mail/pop-up box to be annoying and have missed responding to PMs immediately due to the box's location.

After taking delivery on my P5 I've really enjoyed the "out of the box" performance of the vehicle. While I don't have a laundry list of upgrades or modifications planned for the vehicle, it's only a matter of time till I begin pouring excessive amounts of income into it. I'm 21... it's...

For the past 3 weeks I've had my heart set on a Protege5 and it's now time to bite the bullet and buy one. After numerous test drives I've decided that it's right for me and the price is in my "range." The package/features I've put together is as follows: - Moonroof & 6-CD package - ABS - Auto...
