Mazdaspeed Protege on Ebay

[Slyclops]

As much as I would like to believe I found this gem that no one else has seen, is there a reason this Protege is so cheap and that it has no bids?

well its not a mazdaspeed ... how the hell do you build a show car and spend as much time as they did, and keep stock seats / steering wheel / speed and tach faces. it's probably an ES with orange paint and a sound system

i dono, i think its ugly

i have personally seen that car in the 'flesh', so to speak - first, its not a mazdaspeed. it started life as a black 2003 es. i would think too that all the "goodie" that have been added kind of detrast from the value.

so, anyway, here's that page for the build up of the car - http://www.rightcoastcars.com/sc/build_up.html

 

[njaremka]

oh yeah, its been for sale for quite sometime, too - http://rightcoastcars.com/sc/images/protege_4_sale.html

You're right, it's not a mazdaspeed protege, the grill and interior arent from a msp. It's and LX, 4 lugs and black gauge faces give it away.

 

[Slyclops]

Ah, pooh. I thought I was on to something there.

Why are his gauge faces black? Is there any aftermarket face that is that color because I thought all Protege's that year came with the white.

 

[Metal MP5]

my p5 had black gauges im pretty sure

only mazdaspeeds have the white faces iirc, but dont quot eme on that

 

[zumzumzoom03]

I had an '02 Mazda Protege ES with white guage faces. I don't believe this is an ES. Like someone said I think it's and LX. Did the LX's in '03 have the 2.0 liter or did they have the smaller engine?

i have the white face gauges on my es, but mine is the "sport package", so maybe thats why? who knows
craig

Carfull bidding on it, when we were looking for a wakeboarding boat on ebay once and it was EXTEMLY cheap and we didnt want to "but it now" we called the lady and her account had been stolen and they wanted some one to do the buy it now and take the money and run somehow... Not sure just from first hand experience i would try to contact first.

 

[Metal MP5]

yeah maybe that's why

the LX also came with the 2.0

 

[zumzumzoom03]

All that work and no pictures of the engine? It must be a "Pimp my Ride" build. Wonder if the bottles have anything in them or are they just a fish tank or maybe a bubble maker or a snow machine.

LOL. I love the attention to details here on this for sale page. So which engine is it? apparently under all that fiberglass in the rear there is a second motor. They must have overnighted it from Japan and put it on their tab at Harry's.

 

[zumzumzoom03]

Nice didn't even see that. I'm guessing they did an engine swap but who knows.

 

[Metal MP5]

yeah it did, but also, the title of the thread is "Mazdaspeed Protege on ebay" that is why we all said it wasnt a mazdaspeed

sorry it did....my bad
but still...not really a mazdaspeed...

 

[.mazda.speed.]

who wants a car that has orange interior?

 

[Metal MP5]

E.T. maybe?
