Met another (former) MSP owner in Austin last week during SXSW. He ran up yelling 'Mazdaspeed Protege!' and I showed him my car as we talked for a bit, used to have a titanium as well.
might have to keep my eyes open for a Pacific northwest meet somewhere. not really any love for these cars around these parts. there used to be bcprotege but i guess those guys all got tired of their cars.
I guess i could join a mazda 3 group lol.

I think so lol..... closest msps or boosted protg I know of are the guys that live about 30-45 minutes away from me taking the interstate to get to them. other than that only other mp3 and msp ive seen are owned by guys who have riced them out. (sadbanana)

Doing a fuel cell setup as well?
IMO the MSP has been a cult car, at least the past 3 years i've had mine.
They are still popular down here, I personally know 4 MSP owners and I see others at least once a month. Seems like they are always gray, black, orange or yellow.

anyone know a retainer is for the transmission or what its supposed to do. Im having my clutch replaced and the mechanic said i need one

Ok apparently its called a oil seal retainer and it goes over the rear main seal.
What Facebook group is this?
The only cover I know of is the one that holds the seal and bolts to the block and the MBSP. It's pretty thin and could be broken if mishandled.
