protege

Today I purchased my first Mazda! A protege five, and I'm already looking to make improvements. I would love some ideas of what the first modifications I should apply to the vehicle (I'm leaning more towards cosmetic) any suggestions would be valued greatly! My budget is around 500$ and this is...

Hey guys, this is a GI thread for Rear Visors for the 4DR community. I am currently waiting on an approval from Antoine to create a GB thread. I'm currently in Taiwan on vacation and found a shop that's capable of getting their hands on the rear visors for the protege sedan/msp. This is...

Alright guys, so here's a quick back story. I was coming back home on the freeway right after work going roughly around 80mph when my 03 protege lx (FS) MT non-turbo overheated and turned off on me. Since this happened while the car was still in motion, I attempted to start it again while I...

Folks, After a long time searching, and calling a few vendors, I can't seem to find any sort of gear ratio upgrade for the F-series transmission (F25M-R) on my 99 Protege. (Not going to swap to a G-series until this transmission blows, as I have a Quaife LSD in there) I'm looking to make the...
