Hey guys, I have been so busy since I graduated and haven't had any free time but I didn't forget about HMT, so I am going to be an audio Producer starting in Aug but the more important news is my new car!!! I picked up a 2003 MazdaSpeed Protege, this car is awesome tons of fun to drive. Now this is just a daily driver so no intensions of any mods....but lets just see how long that will last. Here are some pics, everything thing is stock, 17" Racinghart wheels, 450 watt Kenwood stereo w/ 8" sub, sparco pedals and short shifter, some suspension springs, shocks and sways, don't know who made them, and best of all a t25 under the hood!

i like those mazda speeds.

that crx is sweet to

The car is great with some slight mods this thing could be a serious beast. I also like the whole limited edition thing only made them in 03 and I believe there is only like 3,000 in North America

so kid i know has one thats boosted and love it with custon header and est wastegate and has a/c

doesnt suit you.

not colorful enough

paint the doors a few different colors or something.

Nice, call me ricey, but I have a thing for the orange ones. Get rid of that t25

The kid I bought my car from got one of those, but he got a fart can and altezzas on it :P

nice car, but you gotta do something about the pin stripes, as in take them off.

I second that pinstripe removal idea. Those Mazdaspeeds make for pretty good cars to cruise in... not too slow (idunno how fast they are, I smash on my friend's MP3 with my na GS-R with ease, but the turbo ones probably have more balls), power everything, comfy seats, nice sound system... etc. Not a bad choice at all. I have yet to see one really look dope though, will yours be the first? 8)
