I'm pretty sure I'm obsessed with these cars now. lol. I've been scanning the forums non-stop to learn as much as I can, looking at websites for parts, looking at all the different things you can do to the body, all of it. I'm definitely excited for it.

Soo, I went to go check out the car and DAMN is it in mint condition...the only thing that I saw wrong was the window motors in the back were burnt out and the previous owner took the factory sub out of it. He also replaced the motor because the previous owner shot a piston rod out of the hood...

I plan on leaving the engine stock, but upgrading the little things like the exhaust mani gasket, new timing/accessory belts, motor mounts, rear sway bay bushings, etc. and then enjoying the ride. It would just cost too much money to make a normal protege into an MSP and for the price he's...

And that's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a car that I need to put some work into, but not drop a whole down payment on a house. I'm looking for a fun car that I'll need to put some effort into and still maintain it as a DD. For the price that I've been finding them at, you really...

I think we all should just enjoy driving our cars? Minor differences in weight and torque and horsepower, aside. I don't think it should matter THAT much to just everyday drivers; whereas if you wanted to take your car to the track, then you should go deep into the technicality. Just go with...

I've been looking hard for a legit Mazdaspeed and have found a couple but mostly all of them have 100K +, or been beat on, for $8,000 and up...Which I think is way too over priced from what I've read here on the forums. I think I found a pretty legit deal. 90Kmiles for 5,900? Only had two owners...

I've been looking at performance parts, but I'm not sure what all I could use and all the that other stuff? I'm sure I sound like a car noob, but again, I'm just new to the foreign car industry. Thanks for all the advice guys!

thanks for the replies guys! I have a 66' Mustang, so I'm kinda new to the whole Mazda deal. But all in all, would it just be cheaper(and easier) to buy a Mazdaspeed, rather than fixing up a stock protege?

I'm new to the world of Mazda's and Mazdas247, so I wouldn't really know the difference. I just bought a 03' Protege DX and was looking to put performance parts on it for kicks and giggles. I know that the Mazdaspeed has a turbo and is a lot more fun to drive, but do they sell just a stock...
