- 2002 Protege5, Classic Red
Hey everybody Martin here from NC. Screen name is ccrunner2011. I have a Classic Red P5...with some minor front end scuffs and bruises courtesy the previous owner.
Current Mods:I haven't done much to this car because it's my daily and I'm a broke college student (sounds familiar). But, I am getting new rims and some new skins for those in about 2 weeks according to Tire Rack.
Exterior:
rims - Focal F10's 195/50-16
shortie antenna
20% tint all around
Interior:
LED's throughout
New-ish floor mats
small power inverter in the rear for camping/long drives
Engine:
Basically none - Except for the fact it's a new engine about 2K miles ago. Piston ring went bad... no real "nasty smoke" and about a week later I was going what the heck is that noise... 700$ and a rebuild later it runs new.
Future Mods:
HID headlights (projectors)
Plastidipping rear valence and probably wing because CC is pealing
Possibly turbocharging, or I may end up buying a ninja 636/zx6r this spring.
Repaint - Clear coat is TERRIBLE on these cars
Weight Reduction - not going crazy, but this thing could see 30+ mpg with modest reduction.
Events: No show events really, but I do meet up with a few local guys who just cruise around my area every other Sunday or so.
Pics? I'm at work and they are home. Will grab one or 2 later.
