My husband is a member of the contour club and in the summer they took a skyline drive to visit cooters from 'The Dukes of Hazards'. And someone drove her protege.. it took forever, but my husband finally sent this link to me.
A friend of mine is a member on here. once i helped him put his injen intake on his msp and i drove it i knew i HAD to have on of these cars and 2 weeks later i had one. love every minute im in it.
My boyfriend owns a MSP, and I have questions about gift ideas... mods and such. I thought this would be the best place to get some advice.

I found it looking for mp3 clunk info. Probably searched on Google, but it's been a while. I was using the mazdamp3.com domain at the time but eventually started typing msprotege because it seemed easier to type. (shrug)
Since I am a fairly new owner of this car (as well as not having access to the internet for the first couple months), I didn't know any acronyms such as MSP or MSProtege. I probably just did a search for MazdaSpeed Protege and eventually ended up here. And besides not having access, I drove the car anytime I wasn't at work or sleeping.
Back in July I was hopping for a 03.5 Speed Protege and couldnt find one anywhere in New England. I needed a car at the time and finally settled on a 2003 Jetta 1.8. I bought the car and had a great time with it until it stared nickle and diming me. It was like every time I fixed something, something totally unrelated went wrong. I found VW vortex and began posting questions. Whatever! Then a big snowstorm hit and I wrecked it and almost simutaneously, all these MSP's started popping up. I found one that was right (Mazda Warranty still active) with reasonable miles (41k on the machine and 20 on the motor). I bought it and put two and two together (vw vortex + forums) and as soon as I got home. I ran a google search and... Bung... Dell 151... Member... 2003.5 MSP#380 in Titanium.
i was in the process of buying my msp at the time and looked at google for "mazda forums", "mazdaspeed forums" etc. to find out common problems and common modds and such. i generally liked what i saw and bought the car. now im a member on here with about 30 posts and thanks to the info on here i managed to gather almost all the modds that i wanted to achieve my goal of having a quick car and still roll in style doing so lol (cabpatch)
edit: just saw this thread has been brought up from the dead lol 2005!!!
Been a member on other forums mostly escort and protege 1st gen. After I got the speed I just type in Mazdaspeedprotege.com hit enter and got redirected to here.
