Hello!
My name is Cory, I'm 19, and live in st. Anthony
I drive a 2003 mazdaspeed protege in black mica, number 623.
I'm new to this forum but have been on mazdas247 for a while.
My car is fairly stock, with some bolt ons, but I just spun a bearing, and got a replacement engine so I can learn how to build one up! I'll probable be asking a lot of noob questions (after searching of course) so bear with me:p
I also am nearly always posting on my phone soo excuse the typos haha.
I hope to get to know some of you guys and I look forward to being on here!
Thanks!
Cory


And ps, I'm looking for someone who can roll my fenders, if you can help send me a pm. Thanks

Welcome aboard. I rebuilt my motor this summer, so if you've got any questions ask them now while it's all still fresh in my mind. I'm a little sorry I wasn't pickier with my bearing clearances because my oil pressure is not where I want it to be--so that would be my first bit of advice, since the oiling system on this motor is already deficient. Second bit of advice: I would probably go with the DocB serviced oil pump. There is a really good thread about it on 247.

Roll your fenders you say? I happen to own a fender roller/heat gun/finisher combo. I'm sure we can work something out, it's already done several cars on here. Do you have a place you can do it, preferrably warm and dry? We're getting into the cold season now..... and rolling fenders in weather like this suuuuuucks.

Yeah I'm sure I can find somewhere. Just like a garage? Im sure I could use one of my works empty bays to do it. Also, the pain on the little lip that needs to be bent is chipping off and whatnot, so if it breaks off some paint it's nbd becaus I have rust Im going to get addressed next spring since I have a job again! Lol

If you got a warm bay, an electrical socket, and maybe a few bucks, we got you covered. I bought it so my guys would not have to rent one from someone online, it's worked out well so far.

Hundreds? You came to the wrong place if you want to spend hundreds lol. I'm really bad about influencing large purchases in other people. Ask anyone that's ever bought a car because I told em to. I think my current record is like.... 6 cars?

I suppose I should introduce mahself..... I mndsm, also known as Tom, and I am the site owner/admin/resident trouble maker. If it's a bad idea, it's coming from myself, or Concealer404.

You catch on quick, and you already found ze chatbox. That thing is full of shenanigans and is generally a train wreck, but if you can wade through it, you'll do fine here. We all have office jobs and we all hate them so we all sit in the box and talk about things all day. Sometimes it's even about cars!

Other things of note- blue names in the chatbox are mods/admins so me, picklz, workdawg, Big Nate, and dmention7 are your go to guys if you ever have any trouble. You shouldn't, but if you do, let me know, even if it's with me. We like to keep our people happy and our little community pretty tight. Other than that, welcome welcome welcome, and yeah....good luck. I can't keep the natives in line all the time lol... sometimes the wife wants me to do baby crap or stuff.

btw... if you do end up doing a BP swap or something like that, I'm probably going to have to ban both you and Ben or else I'll never get left alone again.

Welcome aboard. I'm Hayden. If you ever need anything designed or any custom work, I'm your guy. Also I'll be rebuilding a 1.6 miata motor this winter as well, so if you need any help or advice, I'm available.

No I got that. That Sound sweet. Did something similar with my old car. Are you going to make it gated? Or just kind of a hole.
