Well...Im at 156k now. I still have all the engine mods. (Header, CAI MSP exhaust, pulleys mounts etc. Got rid of the Teins and thinking of selling the axleback.) I burn about a quart of oil every 3k miles. (I call it essential valve lubercation) This has been a great car!
PM'ed!
Edit: wow I have not been on this forum in awhile. So glad to see that so many Protege owners are still here and strong. I feel like mazdas247 would not have been successful initially without us.
Still have them though have gotten a couple of interest PMs. It is a good price but shipping is a pain. So far people that have asked are right around $42.00 on the shipping. ahh east coast sorry.

EDIT: I think the drop specs are accurate though it is interesting that it seems like they use the same pictures for each kind of spring.
Hey thanks! I really enjoyed these. I remember well taking them on and off and will be happy to provide some tech support if needed. Also local pickup is welcome though I know unlikely since I am all the way up in Bangor Maine.

Wow...started this thread in 06?? Have 156k now. I did have to swap front wheel bearings recently. I also have some oil smoke under heavy acceleration. I claim it just helps lubricate the valves right? Eats about a quart every 3k. Have to note that the OBX header is still intact after 50k though...
Great write up sorry for the revival. Got the front drivers side apart today on my 02 mp5. Even with a puller and soaking overnight the shaft would not budge. Not sure what to do next. It has 150k miles some in winter climate and I'm sure there is a lot of corrosion in there. The bearings have...
Holy cow man no kidding. Has it been that long since I was a vendor on here? Try protege garage Ken may still have some. You can also click one of the links I have directed to his Mazda site in my signature. Sorry about the dead thread I though I took care of all of these.
