I scanned some pictures of my White 95 DX after I waxed it last month, and posted them at
http://photos.yahoo.com/ashutoshsm
(Tried to post the html link, but couldn't figure out how, got to rush!)
Just 4 photos, for now!
I forgot to scan in a photo of three generations of Proteges (including mine) that were parked together - a white 95 DX (mine), a white 97 LS and a silver 00 ES. Will, one of these days!
Notice that I haven't taken any of the front or front left corner - that's where it was dinged in the parking lot in Februrary, boo hoo!
And no, I don't have clear corners in the front, thats just the extra dim (or parking) lights, the blinkers are on the front bumper, lage and old-fashined, but quite cool IMHO :-)
ps: Not too many others have added their pix! I'd love to see a few non ES, somewhat older ones here to compare how other cars of this age have held up - mine seems to be the only pre-2000 non-ES, except for protegetechs 97 or 98 LX there!

Let me know what you think, and let's see some pics from other new Pro5 owners!

I just got one of my Pro.
It's not the best pic, but I like it.
Thanks in advance.

These pics were taken before I put on the hood deflector. I have to wash it again take pics with the hood deflector on so I can do a camparo. I'm also hoping to get a side-by-side of my LX next to my friend's P5. I'll let you know when I get those up. Tell me what you think!

Nice ride, I hope you're planning on doing something about those hub caps though. I'm not sure what Mazda was thinking when they decided to faux crome them up like that.

A turbo setup has a pretty good range in price. It depends on what you want and the install charges of the particular shop you use. Some things like an intercooler, turbo timer, wastegate, boost controller, air/fuel controller, larger fuel pump and injectors aren't always necessary but, are usually recommended.
If you know how much hp you want, you can roughly determine how much boost you need. The amount of boost will determine the other things you need.
Seriously, I'm waiting for a turbo kit to be produced rather than piecing together junk yard parts. I'm expecting $2000-2500 for a kit.
It took me 15 months to go this far!
And here's the big 20K...

Apparently the 3-series have a 1000 mile running in period, and they'd just crossed it - and decided to gun her and see what she could do! Quite scary, although it seems the passenger took the odometer photograph!
I'd post the message/link - but I couldn't find it, that board posts more prolifically than our Protege Sedan board!
Interestingly enough, that car had still not redlined, perhaps it was a 330i!
look at those slicks!!!

How do they turn their wheels?

The 99 LX has 42,000 miles on it and the Pro5 has 9000 miles on it. I must say, a thorough washing and waxing makes a much bigger difference for the dark colored car...
I've been thinking about a wheel upgrade for (ever) a while now, and those photographs made me drool!
