I'm pretty sure its a 2.5", the bungs on it are welded, I haven't figured out what I'm gonna do with it yet. I have have a local buddy make a copy of it for me.
What have you done to your MSP today?

hmmm...what have I done to my MSP today...I got HKS SSQV installed along with a Greddy FATT. BOV sounds great and timer works just fine. now running a dual valve setup(stock bypass and HKS BOV). No stalling at all.
im goin to get my windshield replaced, all the online places ive looked at for quotes mention some green tint/blue shade thing, the glass is green shaded i guess? do the lx/es pros have the tinted strip at the top and the msp's dont?

Cleaned my MAF and am still getting a missfire, though the codes have not reappeared yet. So far it has only happened on the highway and I'll lose power all of a sudden. The car does not completely stall out, but I put the clutch in, so I don't continue the misfire and throw a code, and the RPMs drop to the lowest tick mark above zero. This will last for about 5-10 seconds, then it fires back up to all 4 cylinders and I have no more problems for the rest of my drive.
Its very intermittent, but it definitely needs to get fixed. Spark plugs are 3000 miles old. I would believe the coil pack issue, but the car only has 65k miles on it. Further, when the car DID throw a code, it threw a P0171 - "System too lean", and a P0300 - "Random/Multiple Misfire". If it threw the P0171 on its own, I'd say it was either the MAF or an O2 sensor going bad. If it were just P0300, then I'd say coil packs. The two of them together is what is confusing me.
One option, which my buddy recommended to me was to reset the ECU by unplugging the battery. The car had previously spent its whole life in Texas, which has drastically different weather conditions as Maryland. Further, most of these problems have started since the weather has been getting colder and we've received a lot of rain in the last few weeks. I guess I could get it reflashed too by Mazda, but that costs money... lol
If anyone has any other ideas, please feel free to suggest them.

I'm going to try all my cheap options before I go out and buy new coil packs. Money is tight ATM and I'm hoping is a cheaper fix. I am going to look into that though for sure!
thats what i said and it got me stranded an hour away from home during a big ass flooding storm lol. i tried in this order:
plugs, wires, resetting ecu, got stranded, coilpacks

EGR maybe??
Speaking of which....just bought me a canadian EGR to fix my misfiring. Stocker was garbage anyway. Hoping this fixes it because it cost me $130; and don't want to have to fork over another $100+ for new coils since I don't believe that is my issue.

my exact deductable. FML. lol oh well.
I would guess ~$170
I have a huge crack down the middle of my windshield, lol. I'm pretty sure its from the bad local roads and a stiff suspension + cold weather. It just sorta cracked where the rear-view mirror is mounted a couple winters ago. I don't see any spot of impact or anything. It's one of the numerous "non-priority" need-to-do's on my list for the protege lol. I think it will get replaced this spring...

MSPs are notorious for windshields cracking from pressure and no impact.
I replaced mine a couple years back, $180 from Safelite and they came out to my work to replace it.

I've heard this as well. Something about the molding/seal not providing enough flex.
