I always regretted not driving a Protege before buying our 99 Civic LX. When I had the need for a new car, I immediately took the ride to the nearest Mazda dealer for a test drive. Drove a Protege5, and was hooked. I was hoping to swing for the MP3 in Laser Blue, but the price was just a tad...

I still have a special place in my heart for those 3rd generation Protege's! If they weren't all rust buckets now, and still had aftermarket support, I might be tempted to pick one up as a project or to keep around for the son's first car. The wife is on her 3rd Mazda, and prefers to drive a...

Hard to believe its been that long already! I remember when it was THE parking lot for all the new Proteges and Protege5s Here's my flashback: 2002, right after joining the forum - 2008, after a couple of modifications - 2010, one of the last pictures I have -

If the MX-30 was offered as PHEV with rotary range extender... Yes please!

For sure, 20's are a BIG wheel for a Protege. I wouldn't go bigger than 18. My first choice would be to stick with a light weight 16" wheel. My second choice would be a 3rd generation Miata 17" wheel. The Protege is VERY sensitive to wheel weight, and a light weight 16 with a 205/50-16 tire...

Yeah, anyone can purchase those security bits. I have a set in my garage. However, just because some one CAN do something, doesn't mean they WILL do something. Most thieves are opportunistic, and if something is easy to grab, they will grab it. That isn't to say that all thieves are that...

Between those two options, I would do the Racing Beat Protege5 exhaust.

What are you getting at?

I would just get the Racing Beat exhaust, and skip trying to make an MSP system work. First, the MSP system will be too long, so it is not 100% bolt on. Second, the Racing Beat system will give you a bump in power, even if it's only worth a few horses. Also, Racing Beat systems are pretty...

Brake booster replaced, car brakes like it should again.

Can't help you with the keycard connections.... But, it looks like the aftermarket tow hitches can handle 400lbs tongue weight. Yours "Should" handle the mini bike, but you'll also want to add the weight of whatever you are using as a mount...

Thanks. Warranty extension is for 7 years or 90,000 miles, whichever comes first. 2012 was 9 years ago, so that won't work. Our CX-9 has 175,000 miles, so that won't work either. I bit the bullet and made an appointment at the dealer to get the booster replaced. $500 all in. Seemed like a...

So, I'm looking at having to replace the brake booster on our 2012 CX-9. :( Is there any possibility of removing the booster module without disconnecting the brake lines are the ABS pump? Or, should I just bite the bullet and pay a shop to perform the work?

These look a little nicer for a little less: https://cnj.craigslist.org/wto/d/south-plainfield-2009-mazda-mx5-miata/7337447540.html

I always liked those wheels. Almost bought a set when I had my Miata, but was turned off by the weight compared to the OEM Miata wheels. I can't imagine they weight more than the OEM Mazda5 17" wheels.
