my 03.5 msp was bought in nova scotia, for some random reason i've searched up in down for my production number even searched the vin and i cant find nothing, im almost postive its a true msp becasue i have the papers from when it was new and it says mazda protege speed on it,
but besides this, i bought it with 160,000 kms onto it, great shape bit of rust on hood, came with injen intake, and steedspeed manifold and upgraded motor mounts not sure what kind, i drove it for a week, and it blew some massive holes through the block, but that did not get me down, the amount of time i drove it i drove it alot lol, everynight all night, i love this car, and im building it an driving it untill i cannot anymore
