No I am not selling it or anything like that...don't worry. Although this last month I have looked around for a new car. The Protege has been pissing me off to no end lately. I am going through the process of upgrading it a bit. I got tired of having a car so hooked up but yet still having to crank the windows. Kind of embarassing when someone pulls up beside you and wants you to roll down the window. I bought some power window motors off a MP3, hopefully they will go in with not much hassle. Witchdoktor hooked me up with a guy who got me a guage cluster with a tach. Why Mazda decided to put a cluster in a car without a tach is beyond my understanding. And as soon as I can I will grab some power door locks from a junkyard. Maybe now I won't catch so much **** from passengers.

I wonder how hard the cluster is to swap out. Wiring harness same? I do wish I had a tach in my DX, but I can do without the PW, PDL, PM etc. More to break and more weight, but I never have passengers anyway. Lucky me.2002.5 DX Sedan, Garnet Red Mica, PIAA Headlights, Racing Beat MP3 springs, Tokico HP struts, Injen CAI, MSP axle-back exhaust, MSP S.T. brace, Mod-o-fied AWR 19MM rear bar, AWR end-links F/R, 16x7 alloys w/Paradas(street), 15x6 Miata OEM alloys w/Falken Azenis(Solo II STS), personalized plates "VTC FREE"
I remember the days of racing when the the Drivers were Fat and the Tires were Skinny.

if he was worried about adding weight... then he should get rid of like the 300 lbs of a system he has... ok maybe not 300 but still.
