mazdaspeed protege

Hey guys/gals, I just purchased my first Mazda a couple days ago and fell in love with it. I got a 3yr or 50k mile warranty on it, so I couldn't pass it up. I love the car. It is extremely fun to drive and it has quite a bit of pep for a stock 4 cylinder, however I have noticed a couple of the...

Hey guys, I'm looking to boost my N/A 2001 protege LX 2.0 with the MSP turbo. Ideally looking for a cheap kit of all the parts needed: turbo, exhaust manifold, S-pipe, coolant and oil lines, SMIC or FMIC, piping. I'm in Ottawa, Canada so ideally close to there but could still figure it out if...

So I've been looking around casually for options to deal with the inevitable clunk for as long as I've had it; the several brackets, different materials in the bushing (rubber, polyurethane), Teflon tape, marine and other silicone lubricants but they all seem to be indefinite solutions. Now...

Hey guys, so the other day my alarm wouldn't set (just would keep locking itself) and the horn would not work. Today I opened the hood to see if I saw anything (which wasn't likely because my mechanical knowledge is very minimal haha) and I shut it and locked it, and the alarm set and the horn...

Ok, so im fairly new here, but not that new. ive had my car just over a year now, and my rusty calipers are looking pretty fugly now. I upgrade my rotors last fall, and it just makes the calipers look worse by comparisin. i have a couple thoughts and would like to know if anyone has done the...

Hey I have a loud almost screaming noise coming from my down pipe/turbo area on My msp. All seals have been replaced and I cant quite pin point where the noise is coming from since it just echoes off everything. Has anyone else had this issue before or have an idea on what might be causing it...

Ok, so a few months ago my Cat converter cracked between the 2 cats, i got a repalcement that was extremly nice looking, but turned out to be poor quality, and even worse customer service after the fact ok, long story short, my cat clogged about 2 weeks after i installed it, and i lost all...

Where to begin... So I bought the car used with timing belt snapped off. I fixed this replaced idle/tensioner waterpump. Car starts up, idles poorly and I hear a grinding noise coming from the Turbo. Look into it the turbo find out it's completely shot. I find a factory used replacement install...

Just as the title suggests I am wondering about the forge motorsport blow off valve kit for the mazdaspeed protege. I can not seem to find any forums with someone who has purchased and installed one of these guys. I am looking to put it on my msp, at the moment I have the corksport fmic kit with...

I have recently picked up a 2002 protege es and i thought i would join the "zoom zoom" community, but the preppy look of the protege just keeps getting to me. Does anyone know of anything for them to spice up the looks? I was already planning on picking up some s teins lowering springs. I really...

Hey guys, I want to replace my shifter bushings, but I have not done it before and I don't have much experience working on cars. I was thinking about the ones from corksport (also wondering if anyone has a better solution or if these would be best) and the guide they showed seem very simple. Has...

So I made the mistake of buying pipes without any thought, and I have a T-3 manifold I am going to use.(hand) Obviously the stock Calloway S-pipe will not fit a T-3 turbo, so I have no need for these.(bang) I got them for reasonable prices, therefore I will sell them for reasonable prices...

So my msp decided to have a little encounter with a pole earlier today. The only real damage done to the car was the intercooler broke. My friend Mike said it would be cheaper in the long run to invest in a new intercooler instead of welding were it broke. So my question is what is some good...

Ok, So i took the car in to the mechanic to have them diagnose a p0171 check engine code. They concluded that I did have a vacuum leak. it was coming from my waste gate actuator. Anyhow they quoted me the price for the part from Mazda to be some where around 300 something. They called it a...

Hello everyone, I went to the search bar to find my answer and either I'm really bad at looking or it's not there. But anyway, I wanted to know if parts from the MSP engine like the headers and things like that are compatible with the engine parts from an MP5. It may seem like a noob question...
