New to the Protege Forums, here's my whip do-hicky ;)

[Jack Rot]

So this is my mazda mp5, has 108k miles on it, just bought it about a month ago, from what i know it has done is


OBX headers,
Magnaflow full exhaust,
Ram Intake
Strut bar
full mazdaspeed suspension,
blacked out headlight housing,
Brembo drill slotted brakes
Short shifter.
Lowering springs( not sure what brand )



if i mentioned anything that doesnt seem right let me know (boom01)

but besides that, the car has an oil leak and burns oil, believe from what ive been reading might need a bottom end rebuild.

the car at one point did have a turbo! (dont know what happend to it :(

**getting rid of roof rack, the replacement fillers came in today!**

Hope you guys like the car, here are some pics!

Im located in south florida if anyone is interested, or knows of the meets down here. :)

i like it.. pics of the engine?

[J_Naoto]

welcome! i like it too :)

[widgit117]

Not to be nitt picky or anything but if you say "mazda" then you don't need the "m" in your "mp5". Wish I could look at the pics at work but they are blocked.

[Jack Rot]

Now thats just being nit picky!, dont have any pics of the engine right now, i'll try to get some up for you guys :)

[blueprotegelx]

Nice car welcome to the forums.

[J_Naoto]

where is your coolant reservoir??

[TWISFM]

yup..def been modded.. i spot awr mm inserts..

[SleepyMSP]

welcome, nice lookin p5.

what rims are those...I'm really liking them

[Jack Rot]

I asked myself the same question, J naoto.... dont know if its really needed, car hasnt had any issues in that department? lol.

the only thing im worried about right now is the burning and leaking oil. :(

[Jack Rot]

Oh the springs are Tein by the way... :)

[karakuri5]

Oh the springs are Tein by the way... :)
Are the Teins on stock struts?...or are they aftermarket?
I love the way your car sits and I'm struggling with my yellow P5 trying to get it that way without going coilovers.
Just finished installing my Tokico Illuminas w/ lowering springs which are specified at 1.8" drop(same as the Teins) but still have at least a 2 finger gap between the tire and fender.

[justanothermp5]

yea im seeing aftermarket wires
and mount inserts like twisfm said
and fog overlays and the grill, remove the transformers symbol asap looks kinda gay
and u have no coolant reservoir, might want to get one back on ur car

but it does look very nice, i would have left the roof racks on the car but i guess u didnt like them

[thecrash91]

is there anything holding that battery down? haha

[Kymerik]

that's one slick looking MP5...just do it a favor and ditch the transformers emblem and put back the M

[Bret2002]

protegegarage has that dope weapon r coolant reservoir that i want so bad. just can't justify 50 bucks when my plastic one works fine. if i was missing one id be all over that shit

Makes your engine bay look better, there justified

[azmp5]

I really want to know what brand wheels those are. I need them! Whats the tire size?

[Jack Rot]

tire size i believe is 205/40 ? if thats right, the tires are weird, i guess low profile tires read diffrently than regular tires, my z28 camaro had 275's ;) i guess i'll get that tank, its like $17 on ebay with free shipping

[Jack Rot]

Hey is there any write up's in here on how to install LED's in the dash cluster? for some reason the lights in there are dim as hell and the dimmer is all the way up, it sucks...are they red from the factory btw?

[Jack Rot]

If youre looking for the rim size, i believe theyre 17 inch, just some basic 6 spoke ones, im sure you can pickup a set for $600 bucks off ebay.

[Jack Rot]

is there anything holding that battery down? haha

there isnt actually...XD but its heavy, its not going anywhere.

[azmp5]

I cant find them anywhere. Can I have urs ?
