Mazdaspeed Protege Build - Feels Good To Be Back

[MP3Night]

SS Split Second came in! Nice and fresh

Feels like it's moving slow but it's moving along. Parts are trickling in.

Ordered a replacement panel because mine was missing the fuse cover.

Got some extras in today. OEM Kenwood Deck and some oem replacement front seat covers.

It's so cool the condition this stuff is in. They may have a little wear and tear but its like stepping into a time machine. Finding and sourcing these parts given the age and exclusivity is definitely a high for me lol

I can't wait to start building the motor. But I also don't want to rush it, I am enjoying this steady climb.

So, my awr sway bar bushings replacement got lost and the mail. A few days past and soon to find out my left side headlight replacement got lost and the mail. What the hell! Lol, it's all sorted but man I didn't know it was like that...glad my other stuff came in the mail.

Ah just finding this thread and love it just clicked watch. Super cool to see you giving the car it needed rather than a Viking Funeral on blocks. Appreciate documenting it all on here, facebook is just not the same.

I have a Turbolife FMIC, has some rust on the support bar, but can easily be sanded and re-painted. It's missing the last 90 degree pipe that goes to the throttle body. I've had this sitting in my garage for 2+ years now, It was a local Facebook Market find that I couldn't see get lost or parted for use on a different vehicle. Let me know if you might be interested, this would be a good FMIC for your project, arguably the best for the platform.
