Car has almost 85k miles. As I've said and a lot of people say "all hwy miles" well look at it this way, I drove the car was stored 5 months out of the year, the rest I drove for work in which I drive all over to do inspections at various manufacturers...It's truly hwy miles. Worst decision I...
Guys, I've had this for sale for awhile (haven't really tried THAT hard). It's time for me to part ways...I love the car, just can't afford it. Please see my craigslist ad. Any questions please feel free to email, PM, or just reply to this. Thanks. Sorry for the bad picture, just wanted to meet...
I have a set of Eibach pro's that are still in the box brand new. Ordered from Street Unit and never put them on. Was going to put them on but decided to sell the car. Make your best offer.
Hey Guys, my skid plate destroyed last year when the dealer forgot to tighten the front fasteners and after highway speeds the air forced the front down and it caught on the ribs in the road and disintegrated it. The part from Mazda is 400 dollars however if you go to Montgomery Mazda's online...
Hey guys, I have a pdf of a transmission service manual that looks to be OEM Mazda. It says 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege but yet just under that it says 2001-2003 Mazda F25M-R, G15M-R and G25M-R and under application it says Protege, Protege 5 with the F25M-R/G15M-R and 626 with G25M-R. Everything...

As far as I remember from my research the new diff's are just reinforced welded to the gear. I can weld it better than stock after drilling the out rivets (if you can call them that). I have the ability to be able to make sure the welds are pretty well balanced on the diff. I'm not too worried...
Does anyone have an idea as to what's inside an LSD? Is it basically like a standard diff just works differently. Basically are there any parts that could "fall out" when the pieces separate and need welding.
Hey Guys,
I have a Mazdaspeed 6 and frequent the forums over here. Looking for some info from you protege guys. I am modifying my Ford Escort ZX2 transmission to put in the LSD for the MSP. I got my hands on a perfectly sheared diff that can be easily welded back together. Question is...I've...
Guys, this has been a known probably with the MS6. I've owned mine since Oct 2006 bought brand new and for years have watched thread after thread get started on this issue. Mazda has no idea what the problem is, nor does anyone. I'd say 50% of MS6 owners have this problem. I've had a new motor...
