mazda protege

I'm currently having a bit of an issue with things breaking on my car. I've had to pull the engine because of a spun rod bearing and every step along the way leads to yet another part I have to fix or replace (the under body is rusted pretty fierce in some spots). To the point, the factory roll...

Greetings fellow Mazdaites. Mazdans? (Mazda owners sounds too generic). I also hope this thread is in the correct place. To the point...I am currently ready to pull the engine from my 03 Protege LX w/auto tranny and would like some advice, hints, tricks, or whatever that could assist with the...

I just bought two replacement wheel arches/wells from eBay to replace the horrible, rusted ones on my 2002 Protege5. Has anyone used these before and how much should the metal overlap? This is galvanized steel too, so should I grind the edges and apply weld through primer first? I have a plasma...

Is there a guide or suggestions for rebuilding an 01-03 Protege Manual Transmission? I have enough parts between two broken units to make one good transmission but have no idea what is involved or how severe this project would be. I would like to just buy a replacement transmission but there are...

Is there a mechanical difference between automatic transmissions with a Tiptronic shift lever equiped in the 2003 Protege ES sedan and 2003 Protege5 hatchback, and the 2001-2003 Protege (DX, LX sedan) 2002 Protege5 automatic transmissions? I have a spare automatic transmission taken from a 2003...

I found a 2002 P5 at a good price on Crigslist with 122k miles but it needs the transmission replaced. Its has a manual transmission, but all I have to replace it with is an automatic transmission. I think I have all of the parts needed to complete this from a 2003 Protege LX sedan including...

2003.5 protege. It runs fine makes boost and pulls hard when cold. After a bit it loads up and kinda has no power at all. Still makes 10psi on the guage and makes lots of bov noise just feels slower than hell. The feeling is similar to what my diesel does while towing something heavy. Lotsa...

Log: March 19/2015 Guys I need some help.. I stored my protege over the winter but I made the mistake of not filling up the tank till dec 2014. In Dec I topped it off with winter gas and added fuel stabilizer to the tank. I'm trying to start the car now and its not starting.. I've redone my...

I need a passenger side top motor mount. Engine side not trans side for an 02 protege 5 with sport suspension. Please help!

I replaced the alternator in my 2000 Protege with a brand new alternator, the battery light comes on while driving and the car is stuck in 3rd gear. At an idle the light goes out, I unhooked the alternator and drove the car on just the battery and had all 4 gears again. The only thing I can...

I recently bought a 2002 Protege5, with 67K miles. I'm looking to do some mods to increase performance on it and don't really know where to start. Now I am working with a bit of a budget, like $2000 now, but it will grow as pay checks come in.

Just recently installed new passenger and tranmission AWR MMs (88 duro) & front (70 duro). Car seems to still have wheel hop when getting into first and letting off clutch. Initially I read that new MMs would fix it but it seems like it hasnt. Could this be an ignition problem?

So I have been debating this for quite some time now, but I think I might pull the trigger, but wanted to see what the community thinks on here. My msp is completely stock mechanically and just hit about 39.2k miles. I am debating on which exhaust upgrade, IF ANY, that I should do. Should I...
