Welcome out of the Shadows.
Another Protege, Yea. Good looking P5.
Your springs will help with a more agressive stance.
What other mod plans do you have?

haha thanks for all the replies, guys. yeah im really enjoying the new look, i cant wait for summer so i can get the springs on. i think someone asked for other updates...im thinking about removing the VTCS, though i dont know if i will do that for sure or not. it looks a bit challenging to take off the intake manifold. i will also be doing a bit more with the pin striping. i will do the lower front grill and probably on the inlay that is on the rear bumper. i dont know what its called. eventually i will get around to painting the calipers red, the rotors silver, the valve cover (i dont know what color yet, but it'll be painted eventually), and the header heat shield will be painted as well. i want the rust to go away...haha. so basically just a few appearance mods, nothing too serious yet.

someone else also asked about my sn on mazdas247, its the same on here. i have the same avatar, signature, and everything.

haha and yes, Triad dragons. ive been raving for two years now, though im starting to get out of the scene. its not what it used to be. but i still love techno, probably always will.

maybe one of these days i will come up to one of your guys' cruises. i just gotta get my arse in gear and get up and out of parker to do so.
