Car: 2002 Mazda Protege (Auto Transmission) Code: P0705 Transmission Range Sensor Circuit malfunction (PRNDL Input) Symptoms: Auto-Transmission light comes on and blinks on and off. CEL also on. Engine power dies completely, and gas pedal needs to be floored to move the car. After turning off...

thanks guys. that lexus is more along the lines of what I'm looking for. It is very close to the photoshop I saw. Bigwoofer's car is nice, but I think the black paint should be brought down to line up with the natural line along the side of the car. The way it curves up in the back like...

um bump :) guess no luck so far. maybe i will get lucky with this bump.

a while back (long long time ago) i saw a pic on here of a protege 5 with a two tone paint job... it was black on the bottom and red on the top (cant remember exactly though). anyways, it always stuck in my mind as being one of the nicest color schemes i'd ever seen... trouble is i cant find it...

oh and my previous statement was meant to say that simply a heavily modded rex (powerwise) will outhandle any fwd car with comprable power. stock for stock wasnt what i was referring to so much as putting that power to the ground with out just smoking your tires through turns and straights.

yeah you are probably right then... i never drove a msp so i cant argue with you. and, i never got to autox my p5 before it was destroyed... :( i think the way a WRX drives is all about the driver... There is a WRX here that owns STX... and my friend's WRX was quite fast in autox as well...

well people dont buy WRXes to drive fast in a straight line... they arent that fast after all... but i hate to break it to you but the WRX does corner better than a protege, and its true potential is released when going "fast around corners". plus they are awesome off road (i.e. rally). please...

yeah, i know that it will be better than the 3, i wasnt trying to imply anything otherwise. dont get me wrong, it will be a great car, its just that if mazda wanted to make it better they would make it all wheel drive - then it would stack up to EVO/STI/WRX types. right now, if i were to buy a...

Yeah, i will give you that... it should beat a wrx, stock for stock. at least, it should beat my 02 wrx... definitely from a roll, maybe not from a stop. As for th 06 WRX, they've got some balls...(excuse the expression). I bet one of those stock for stock would be very close with the...

too bad its fwd... I really think this car could pose a legitimate competition to WRXes and STis and EVOs IF it was AWD... the car will be awesome in stock form, but all that understeer which will become more apparent with more power will suck. I think if mazda was really serious about putting...

will the mazdaspeed 3 be AWD or FWD? If FWD I would be dissapointed, to build a truly potential car you really need AWD, anyone can tell you that after riding in a 500 hp srt 4 that just spins its tires through gears 1, 2, and 3...

wow so do you guys know if that price was with all the dents fixed or was it "as is"? Maybe I should have bought it back and sold it on ebay. You can sell anything on ebay nowadays, even tortilla chips that look like saturn.... Thanks for posting the link! I appreciate it a lot, I've been...

i kind of want to. its really funny I think. I never expected to see it again...

its really weird. All this time I thought it was just parted out. Part of me is happy to see that it was not wasted and that it will live on. But another part of me is like "hey man, thats my car! Gimme!"

yeah it would be a lot to get a good body shop to fix it. Whatever happened to it? Does anyone know if there is a new page on ebay where its back up for sale?
