Debating between getting a new engine from protege garage for around $1200, or just letting the car sit until I can scrape together 4K for the forged engine. I'm planning on keeping the car awhile, but really just want it as a daily driver. Any recommendations?

Any ideas if this would work in the Mazdaspeed Protege?

Ok, so there's about a tennis ball sized hole in the engine, and the dealership wants 7K to fix it. I think I may have to scrap the car :(

Just got a call from the dealership I took it to...she threw a rod. Other than the answer "forged," where do I go from here?

Yeah that's the thing, I wasn't doing anything crazy at the time, so I'm hopeful the damage isn't too bad. Tow truck'll be out here in the next hour or so, then I'll be able to figure out exactly what's wrong. Pity, I'm in line for Turbolife's FMIC, guess my money for that is going to go into...

Is it above or below the engine?

Hey guys, this may sound like a noob question, but how do I install the front engine mount? I tried searching the forums and all I can find is the how-to for the rear mounts. Thanks guys

Replaced battery with an Optima Red Top, put 6000k Bixenons in. I can see!

It's my first winter up in NY and I'm having the exact same problem...I let it sit for more than a couple of days and it's dead. Is this a common problem?
