    bwalt's MSP build log

    Only way would be if you're lucky enough to find one used. Speed Circuit was going to make one but the project never materialized past a 3D printed prototype. https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/i-3d-printed-a-thing.123867625/

    205/55R16 Snow tires - bad idea?

    I ran 205/55R16 tires on my old protege 5 with stock wheels and eibach springs. No rubbing and I they filled in the wheel wells nicely.

    Opinions and help with piggyback ECUs

    Short answer is no it won't work. I tried a DET3 piggyback years ago on a friend's protege and it doesn't read the maf signal correctly. The only piggyback that worked was the split second afc. Not sure if that's available anymore. If you want a tune, best option would be a haltech elite 550 or...
