Thinking of modding a Mazda 3 just enough to keep it in G-stock for SCCA. So that means that we can't put on the H&R springs, eh? So far, all I can think of is full catback exhaust, maybe some KYB adjustables (when they come out), and... tires?

Is this what the colors of the GX trim for Canada? Just wanted to verify :) http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/brunoluong/detail?.dir=/Interior&.dnm=interior3.jpg http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/brunoluong/detail?.dir=/Interior&.dnm=Beige+in+Sedan.jpg thx!

Was watching a video by Top Gear on AWD vs FWD vs RWD. They chose RWD in the end (which kinda surprised me) but anyways, that's besides the point. The thing is the FWD Alfa Romeo did really poorly on all their tests, which is where they pushed the cars to the limit of traction. FWD...

Looked up the mazda canada webpage and found that the GX and GS trim (the 2.0L Mazda 3) comes with casual cloth seats, while the other higher (And more expensive) trims come with sports seats... uhh... what would be the difference? I mean, would it make a huge deal, especially in autox? wongpres?

Can't seem to find much info on the 2.0L engine specs. Just wondering what they are for the new 2.0L engine coming out for the Mazda3? I've read it has 150hp, but how much torque?

I'm confused. All the local guys in my area say that Proteges suffer from a lot of problems (or have little niggling problems, says one protege owner). General consensus here is that the Mazda Protege has problems. Yet I come on the boards and everyone says that they're "da bomb"! No problems...

Just how big a depreciation has the Mazda Protege 5 taken? I'm thinking that because there's like a million on the road (Atleast in Canadian Northwest), and the new Mazda 3 is coming out, I could possibly "bargain" for a really good price? I can't find the proper Protege price, but the VMR one...

Sooo... why'd you buy a Protege 5 over car X?

I'm taking polls of this car to see reliability (just for my own sake). It'd be interesting to see the results after a week or two :)

I was thinking of putting on an MSP body on a Protege ES or Protege 5. First, is this possible? and most importantly, would that push me out of stock class and into street prepared for autocross?

Just had a thought. Wanna pass it by some of you Mazda people for checks and balances. Okay. I know the Mazda 3 is coming out, which means that P5s would drop in price ("new" and used ones) I hope. Or they'll be cheaper than buying a brand new car, which (when I have enough saved up) will be a...

Just wondering if... well, if I were to buy a bolt on turbo kit for a Mazda Protege, is there lots of other stuff I have to change? I'm just trying to justify it in my head. I know the bolt on turbo kits usually come with everything including CAI (correct me if I'm wrong, btw), intercooler...

Will this car get owned? I'm talking to a few guys. Yes, I know the driver is 90% of the time attack result... But still, does it have a "good suspension"? Or is the one on the Protege 5 much much better? Was thinking of getting a Protege ES (cuz it gets 4-wheel disc brakes), but if the...
