    Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself

    Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself to ya'll. My name is Hazzy and I am 16 years old from central IL. My main hobby is playing guitar in a hard rock band, but I've developed a growing interest in wanting to spend money on my car rather than guitar stuff. I drive a '99 Protege (see sig. below), and I get crap from all of my friends, who all drive American cars. It angers me to the fullest, so hopefully this place will be a nice warm escape, full of import love. I'll take some pics of my car and post them soon. I'm actually pretty disappointed with its exterior right now... lots of scratches that a recent polishing job I did actually brought out even more. Oh well, I'll ask about that in another forum room later. Thanks for reading... I hope to get you know you all and your cars!
    Dark Blue '99 Protege LX w/ 3.3 kohm sensor resistor, blue xenon headlights and backup lights, blue Street Glow under front seats in interior, clear corners and mesh grille being shipped at the moment.

      Welcome to the forum man... please tell me you don't have that resistor hooked up to your MAF though.

        Ford owns like 33.4% of mazda, not all of it

        Welcome to the forum!

        [edit]

        Oh yea, I hope that isn't one of those resistors that make you run in closed loop mode or whatever all the time... Not a good idea! Wastes gas and does nothing for performance, and it's probably eating your catalytic convertor if it's running as rich as it could.

          Hey guys, yeah, it's one of those MAF resistors. I have heard enough bad stuff about them to cause me to rip it out, so I'll go do that right now...

            Good choice It's really a pain in the ass how ebay sellers make these wonderful claims yet suck balls.

            Post some pics of your car
