however bad it was, I'm sure it was better than House of the Dead. God... why I did waste my $

You guys needed to Ferrari F355 challenge, now that's a racing game! :)

Perhaps he's still waiting for GT3. Heck, if he is... let him! We can all sit, watch and laugh! ;)

A while back, Chris @ SPD was selling the HKS axle-back systems for $205 + shipping. Ground from CA to DC (me) brought the final bill to $245 delivered. Now, you'd be lucky to get that system delivered for under $325. One of the appealing things to the HKS was the price was far less than the...

D&B has an under 21 policy... meaning if you're under 21 they won't let you in at all. Unless you're with someone over 25 as your 'guardian.' However after 9pm, anyone under 21 has to leave and the place is open till 1am. I'm in... planning to be there around 7:30/8pm

I'd be up for something on the 5th, I'm heading over to D&Bs that night.

Ya, I think both the speed and the location of the entire incident was far less than your's. Regardless, I'm taking the car down to the shop tomorrow for confirmation.

However, who would honestly spend more money modifying an S55? Last I checked those aren't $15,000 cars. Plus if you notice the thread title you see the "MP5" part. We've all driven nice automatic transmission sports cars, that's for sure... we all know that 99.9% of them we'd take in a heart...

Although I drive an automatic p5 with that fancy-dancy sport shift, I'd never dream of "fixing it up" to any extent. Heck, I question why I got the HKS axle-back everyday. It'd just be more of a hassle to take it off and put the old muffler on the rusted joints. Nothing against modifying an...

Interesting, I'll check it out... thanks Mike. I didn't appear to feel a great variation in the bumper 'press test' but perhaps I didn't do it properly.

Makes sense though, right? I don't know your experience with VB but it's extremely easy to use once the initial software is installed and the database configured (which has obviously been done). I think you'd be a good guy for the job, especially considering your frequent activity in the forums...

Beyond control? Well then I think you need to talk Enry or whoever runs this joint. Because if you have the power to make threads like this, move threads, etc. than you should have the power to actually put into action our suggestions and feedback. I realize there are different tiers of 'power'...

We had a small but nice caravan on the way down to the last Spool meet. Although traffic made the return trip just slightly unenjoyable. However, the event itself was a blast with an excellent representation of S2000s, Proteges and that Evo! I'm in for making the drive down again, minus the...

Matt, do you really think that your sticky will serve any purpose or really curb the issue? Highly unlikely. While I do agree with you, there's really nothing that you or any of the moderators can do. Spammers, trolls, etc will continue to do their thing. It's the downfall of VB forums across...

I'd like to think the little bump wouldn't cause $15,000 worth in damage. Hell, that's $400 less than I paid for the car! If that hit could cause that much damage than the Protege5 is more a death trap than the Z3. I am toying with getting it looked at by a Mazda tech or the local body shop...

However if your car remains in warranty or you choose to purchase the extra warranty than your high cost of transmission replacement at low mileage goes away.

Ya, I have an HKS axle-back. The location of the bumper-to-bumper impact was high enough to miss the exhaust. Thankfully...

No worries, I took no offence. I don't regret getting automatic nor do I feel offended when someone prefers standard over automatic. Obviously some cars require manual, sports cars or exotics. However with a 130hp grocey getter that will never see a dyno or track, I could careless.

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...

Well one 'positive' aspect to the automatic in the protege5 is the sport mode. While you lose that 5th gear you can at least opt for some control over the gears, unlike a standard automatic. However, you're going to pay almost $1,000 more for automatic than a manual. I went with automatic...
