Affordable MSP Conversion?

[c7scayman]

Okay, so I cannot afford an MSP, but I need a car and I like the handling of Mazda's.
I was thinking of getting an 03 Mazda Protege LX really cheap. $4000.

Where do they sell and how much would it cost to get 03.5 MSP Bodykit and Wing? PLUS COST ESTIMATE OF BLACK PAINT??? Not Counting Labor of installation because I can do that.

Gm... its not going to be cheap, save up for a REAL msp or you will spend alot more money.

^^ thats true next thing you know your gonna want that boost

 

[StealthWyvern]

To do a true conversion you have to even get the rear window (intergrated antenna) and remove the stock one as well as fill the hole left from it.. ect... ect... ect..

and before you know it you'll be like dj dub. who likes that guy anyway ;D

 

[NCZ13]

your gonna end up spending more on making it look like a MSP, when you could just get a MSP...

you would just be digging urself into a money pit bro. I've seen msps sell as low as $4500 just take your time. you'll find one.

or buy an mp3. they are going for near that price.

or even a p5. they have the looks and handling, but with hatchback versatility.

so many options.

Wow

Wow, I wonder what happened to that.
But I have to finance using my credit card and the deal is that it has to be from a new car dealership.

I looked for MP3. But they are harder to find than MSP's. I have been looking for the past month thru auctions, craiglist, vehix, autotrader, and autobytel, but I can't seem to find any MP3's.

Thanks everyone, I guess I will just save up.
Have waited 4 years to buy one so whats another couple of years of driving my dad's car.

I thought about trading mine for the blue one since I know the original owner, and dont bother calling the guy for the spicy orange for $7000....thats me my friends put up the add to try and get me to sell it.

That Silver one at Imports Auto Sales.
I went to look at it and test drove it yesterday.
It needs a new rear strut.
Front Passenger Window goes down, but it does not go up unless you use your hands to guide it.
Speaker in trunk is broken.
The intake is aftermarket, which made the check engine light turn on. I need to get a new Intake Filter housing so I can get it to pass inspection.
They don't give 30 day warranty with their cars, which most car dealerships give for free.

I like the blue one. Is that a STI Wing?
But the Blue one also has that same aftermarket intake that has no place to plug the temperature wire in so the check engine light is surely on for the same reason as the Silver one.

 

[c7scayman]

And yellow is not my color.

 

[NJ MSP]

Its an evo wing. And I have an aftermarket intake on my car, injen to be exact and I didn't ever get a check engine light. The only reason I ever got one is I'm catless, plus if you need I have a stock intake box somewhere in my room I could sell you for cheap.

 

[NJ MSP]

And after taking a closer look that yellow one is a mp3

 

[c7scayman]

How much for the stock intake housing?
Does it have the plug in space for the temp sensor?

 

[NJ MSP]

I think so I'd have to let you know in the am for sure.

 

[c7scayman]

alright.

Oh, I test drove that Silver one yesterday and tried to feel and hear if the Turbo worked.

If I remember correctly, Somewhere around 4000rpm, the car started to accelerate faster, which made me think the turbo works. But I did not hear anything so I was not sure. Is that normal?
