    All and all, $300. If I'm honest, I'm not a huge fan of how it sounds. Gonna put a resonator in it to quiet down the sound.

    Flav's Mazda Protege5

    I finally have an update worth mentioning here. Today I took my car into a shop (I swear I only did it because I have absolutely no time or motivation to do it myself, I swear!!) to have my exhaust leak fixed. I also wanted them to fix the exhaust hangers that had rattled off leaving my exhaust...

    Lately I have noticed my mileage is a bit funny. Funny how? Well.. After 180-190 km of highway driving (to work) that burns literally half a tank of gas. Within 6 months.. I have changed the fuel filter/pump as noted on this thread. The car has snow tires on now, and has a CAI on it. Any ideas...

    ^ Once I changed over to the millenia PCV I did notice that the smell of burning oil disappeared even when going hard on the car. Although now it's starting to smell a bit more like it might be the cat that's gone bad. (Great excuse to finally upgrade the exhaust)

    It was 50% function 50% originality (which was copied from someone else hah) Thanks for the feedback!

    Another P5 on a College Budget....Meet Ozzie

    I too have always wondered about picking up a projector set off of amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Wotefusi-Ballasts-Bi-Xenon-Headlight-Projector/dp/B00DM41B3G/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1388813176&sr=8-17&keywords=bi+xenon+projector+kit

    Here's another pic that I forgot to upload earlier. For those of you who have been following me for awhile now will remember that last year I managed to shatter my front lip when I hit a big chunk of ice while driving. I swore to myself that I would remove my front lip for every winter after...

    At the moment I can't remember the size of the tires.. But I am leaning towards them being 205/55/15. Ebrake issue I haven't dealt with much.. in fact I don't even touch the damn thing anymore. With the way the temperature has been lately, if I use the brake and leave the car over night, it...

    new build

    Car is coming along nicely. I really like the angry bird hanging off your tail end there. How do you go about making these custom vinyl's? I doubt I'll ever do it to the P5. But I've been curious as to how some guy's do a camo wrap on their car.

    Body is in pretty good condition. Considering I live in Ontario and its a 12 year old car. However, I did take it to a body shop this past summer to have the rust dealt with. Here's a shot from Christmas

    1.8L Coil conversion

    I too am running those sparks. Personally, I don't find any gains in this mod. It does look a lot better in the engine bay though.

    As of yesterday, seems like when I'm on the brake's my idle starts to drop HARD almost killing the car (setting in around 600rpm) Likely cause of a vac leak? Feeling a little lazy at the moment, but I shall post a picture of the Snotege soon

    I don't see any cable being stretched. The "T" part that connects to the hand brake itself, that's only a few months old.. and the passenger side cable is about 6 months old now. I will try readjusting it at the hand brake part tomorrow though.

    I have no idea what the hell is going on with mine. For almost as long as I can remember now mine hasnt been able to grip at all.. its extremely weak. I once had the car parked on a slight incline..leaned on the front and I started to roll it back -_- And even in the snow lately.. it does...
