They're not an upholstery shop, but I know PDA Road Gear does heated seat installation.

I love PDA Road Gear. They have a really nice store and they've been very helpful when I've dealt with them.

I don't know if this is some sort of old adage or just something I heard at some point, but there's the idea that when you go to a flip a coin, you end up hoping for a certain outcome in that brief moment between flipping the coin and it hitting the ground, and that's where your heart lies? One thin...

Haha, makes sense See, I'm working on my engineering degree, so I worry about what's cool not what's reasonable! lol.

I redid the stereo system in my Subaru this summer, and here's my take on things after having it installed for ~3 months. As a note, I went with an Alpine CDE-153BT head unit and PowerPack amp, Infinity Reference 6500cx speakers in front, and Reference 6502ix speakers in the rear. First, with regard...

Welcome! Nice to see some new faces around here! I think the non-mazda owners around here may outnumber the Mazda owners at this point. I happen to be one of the non-Mazda owners. I also happen to live outside CO for 9 months out of the year :p I stuck around even though I replaced my old Mazda thre...

Dedicated winter wheels & tires. Here's my rationale: -Going with a set of 16" wheels & tires could potentially be cheaper than just 18" tires alone. There is one drawback though: extra set of TPMS sensors; but they're cheap on eBay. (snipped) All very valid points, but my first thought when you me...

We work almost exclusively with round tubing. We do use a square tube for upper front suspension mounting. The front bulkhead is also made from square tubing. But the vast majority of the tubing is round. And it is in fact entirely structural making up the entirety of the cars frame. In the past we'...

Any particular reason for going mig vs tig? Here at school, all our welding (including the entire car's steel tube frame) is tig welded. I don't really know why (I've asked but forgotten). I haven't ever done much welding, but I can at least weld two pieces of 4130 tubing together, lol.

Damn, I never thought I'd live to see this day... Good luck with your sale, tut. And jesus, 15k miles on an 08.5...

[SIZE="1"]I'll trade you for an 08 Legacy with 71k... At least it's worth more back in CO than here in NY.[/SIZE]

I like the Colorado Automotive Enthusiasts idea.

For lift access, you could take the car to DIY Auto Repair. It's up north off of 36 more towards Denver than Boulder IIRC. I took my Subaru there right before my drive back to NY to change my diff fluids, atf, and oil. It made life so much easier. It's $30/hr to rent the lift and perform the work yo...

Rumor has it that it's going to have a decrease in power too. I think Mazda will lose some business if that's the case, although I can't see that happening. I think the car needs at least 165-170bhp to keep up with the likes of the BRZ/FRS. http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1094375_2016-mazda-mx-5...

I'm in love with this car. Looks much more masculine than previous iterations imo.

It's quickly jumped to the top of my list for cars I'm considering buying post-graduation next year if finances dictate it as doable.

Megan Racing makes coilovers for the Protege that fit the 01. Tein also makes s.tech springs that fit an 01.

Damn. I have to leave the day before to head back to school. I always miss the fun stuff.
