2001 Protege ES 2.0L 5sp, Sunlight Silver
Mods (if you can call them that) so far:
Charcoal 35% Llumar tint on all windows (except windsheild of course)
PIAA Super duper white headlights
PIAA Super white front turn signals
"ES 2.0L" badge removal
Why did you take off the ES 2.0 stickers Todd? I think they look rather neat. They kinda complement the silver "Protege" stickers I put on the ends of the back doors above the moldings.
I already posted a few posts under "probro" and "firstgenprotege" but oh well.
I own a 1993 White LX 5spd, with a bunch of pointless mods, and a few performance mods.
My site is http://groharlem.tripod.com if your interested
I have a modification guide site that isn't near completion at: http://www.geocities.com/protegemods that is for all generations of the protege
And if you wanna chat on AIM my screen name is: "GroHarlem6"

The Protege rides much smoother than the Sentra on a daily basis- it'll be interesting to see which one I'll prefer on the twisty roads. The Protege is going to make a great replacement for the MX6- They both have 2.0L DOHC engines, but the Protege engine has an interesting spark plug system- do you know what it involves? Have you made any changes to your car's audio system? I'm thinking of changing the speakers first.
So, how close to invoice have you gotten on a 2002 ES with premium package? Hopefully I'll be getting a new Pro one way or another within a week!
Please send your response to jfallon@edmunds.com, or post in Talk to the Press.
Thanks!

Just got a new P5, silver, sunroof, air, 5-speed, about 2 months ago. Lovin the car and everything it has to offer. Got it tinted up at the dealer and looking forward to adding some mods in the near future. Just put a drop in K&N filter in, can't wait till a new air-induction comes out for this car. Can't say enough about the car. It will get a real test this winter in all the snow in da Great White North eh....

anyways, welcome!!

Welcome to the forum Doc!
Our roads are terrible, almost need a kidney belt on some streches. (I'm talking about in the city too). haha
Insurance is way cheap here... I'm almost glad I don't live somewhere else, never be able to afford a new car....
Anyway, I'm sure you'll enjoy your Pro5 because my ES is a blast to drive.
I lived in Calgary for a while and Medicine Hat. Everyone there is from sask... None of the people there were actually born in Calgary. This seems to be the trend...
It feels like aLot because I'm also going to have to pay for school in the fall and I'm fully supporting myself, but I Needed a car. I got into the Mazda's New Buyer Program for 5.9% and, since I'm only 20, I wasn't able to get into any other car. I wasn't even able to get financing for used cars (2-3 yrs old.)
I'm glad some of you say it sounds like a good deal. I was worried that I was going to be taken advantage of because I'm a young female--fresh meat to the dealers. But I did my homework, so when they tried selling me after-market "deals" I knew what to do. They were trying extend the loan period and up the interest rate to 6.7% by selling me an extended warranty, but I stuck to the standard 3yr/50K Mazda warranty. Hopefully that's all I'll need...

I was impressed first off by the build quality in the interior. The exterior paint is also beautiful.
I am not impressed, however, by the sound system. I just ordered some Polk audio speakers for the front and back. Hopefully, this will do the trick and I won't have to replace the radio itself. If anybody has any experience in modifying the sound system in the Pro5, I would appreciate your input.
Thanks,
I should installing them next week sometime.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

I've been contemplating some performance modifications but with one in college and another getting ready to go in a couple of years, money is very tight (Yes, I'm "kinda old") However, the first thing to be changed in the next couple of weeks, is the horn. One too many close calls where they didn't hear me as they changed lanes or were backing up.
Look forward to talking to everybody as time goes by. I love the wealth of information that can be passed on in these forums.
Anytime you want an "old-mans" opinion, ask me.
