The yellow lip makes me think I made the Sprint chase in NASCAR since they put yellow splitters,eyebrows and spoilers on the ones cars who did.........just want the lip and bumper cover silver again.

The previous owner pulled too far over a parking barrier and when he backed up, and continued backing after the horrible noises, the bumper was no longer attached. And rather than reattach it, he bought a new OEM Mazda bumper and installed it without painting it. I didn't see what the OEM cover looked like after being ripped off, but I can't imagine it was any worse looking than an entirely different colored bumper.

Drove the Protege5 to work when I came back from lunch. It's awful- no power at all! Woohoo, 140BHP! Its been so long since I've driven it and having driven the MSP and MS3 since then, it really sets in how ******* slow it is.

A/C was evacuated, leak tested and recharged. Initially, the clutch didn't engage. Checked the in-cabin and engine compartment A/C fuses and both had power on both sides. Went to check power at the clutch connector and the second I touched it, the clutch engaged. Glad for that as I'd already advertised the A/C was working. It had worked flawlessly up until I had parked it and in order to get the A/C to work on the MSP, I robbed the low-side line and compressor. Bought a new compressor, low-side line and drier last week and installed them Sunday. Blows nice and cold. Now all that is left is an alignment and tires. I want to get them done before I sell it, though. I've already got 8 people interested in it and only posted it for sale 24 hours ago.

I'm still amazed at how nice those intake boxes look. And that radiator cover. And is that a WeaponR coolant overflow tank?
What I did today. Gave the P5 a wash, adjusted the rear shock settings, put my summer wheels/tires on, and got pissed off at Firestone.

I put rivets at each corner of window and 1 in middle of long side which kinda add to the look IMO but most importantly, keeps the glass on solid.
(best pic of rivets on hand)......
Yes, Weapon R coolant tank with site glass. Had to cram a piece of silicone vacuum line thru the top port on it down to bottom of tank so it could get coolant back and forth from line going to radiator. Line from radiator fits over the nub from the smaller hose going to bottom of tank. And ditched the clear line for black silicone.
Radiator cover was actually extra piece that was done up to fill the front divot in package tray. The front half is Apexr1 ADP. I used a piece that had slots all the way thru it back there and then found the radiator cover spot for the one that just had grooves. Just trimmed it to fit, cut out for radiator fill neck and drilled 2 holes for the bolts and put washers underneath to hold it in place solidly. Here is pic of the one back on the cargo cover.............

I thought about the fin too but I decided to get a stubby antenna (about 4 inches)

Has a lot of cool info to refer to but not all, I would like to try and keep it all in one place so that way everyone can reference it. Any missing info let me know so I can update it.
