Default Yet another new guy

My wife and i traded in our '03 mazda protege5 for an '04 accord coupe v6 6-speed.

it's much faster...although it doesn't handle like the p5...it's still a nice car. i drive an '01 mazda protege mp3.

i'm here to learn about her car and see what it's capable of. it doesn't appear to have a good aftermarket...but for now i'm going to sit it down a little and do some suspension mods...then i'll dive into the motor.

thanks!

welcome to the forum! Plenty of things that can be done!! More than the P5 for sure *L* what are you thinking of doing for suspension?

first is just to lower it for now. we have a 3 1/2 year old...so i don't need to make the ride too unbearable. i'll probably start with springs and sways...because the thing handles like crap...and find some nice struts that won't make the ride too harsh.
