How's it going Mazda 247, I'll start off by saying my name is Jay. I've owned a Mazda Protege5 for about a year and a half now. I've been checking the forum for a little while now. Been reading up on some suggestion upgrades. Finally decided to dive into the forum. I got my protege5 at about 138k, not running. Replaced the engine block at 138k and transmission (automatic) about 3k miles after at 141k lol. Did some maintenance/ changed some stuff, timing belt, radiator, water pump, some other things I possibly can't think of right now. Repainted the car before I started driving it. Decided to just put some money into it and keep it till it drops at this point lol. Great car for my girlfriend, she absoutely loves this car so might as well. My rear driver brake caliper is leaking so thought I might as well replace both, along with rotors and pads. Also want to go the suspension upgrade route (although not coilovers yet) and redo ignition before winter hits as well. I'm about due for a tune up again soon anyways. Would also like to have leather seats in my car lol. I also need a front grille soon. Few other things I forgot to mention that I would like to do, so I'll come back and update. So now for the pictures lol. Don't really understand the picture uploading methods lol but put a solid 2!
