I stuck it up locally for sale. Does $2500 seem like a fair price? I wasn't sure what to ask for it. http://forums.stlmustangs.com/index.php?/topic/188499-2001-mazda-protege-mp3/

Hey Guys, The MP3 forums are dead, but I suspect our cars are similar enough that you might be able to help me. Car just hit 170k miles. I checked the air and rotated all the tires but the front driver side tire has a fairly severe wobble when it's under light throttle. Turns don't seem to...

I just hit 170k. Car is doing fairly well. I've had three rust spots fixed on the rear fenders before they got nasty. Powertrain seems fine but I'm starting to notice more vibration and non-sway bar clunking. I mostly notice it when I make right turns or if I'm cruising around 60-70 mph and let...

Hey Guys, Is there a cold air intake replacement that has all the provisions the factory intake tube has? I've been noticing the car is hunting for RPM a bit when I first start it and I suspect it's the intake tube leaking air through the cracks. For that matter, does anyone know of a company...

I had the car aligned today for my new tires and it's all in spec now but the steering wheel is cocked slightly to the right and the car pulls slightly to the right. If everything is in spec and it's doing this is something bent or did the alignment shop just screw up?

Not my favorite but NTB quoted me nearly the same cost for just tires so I decided to get a wheel/tire combo from discount tire direct. Went with 215/35/18 falcon 912 tires. I do 100% highway driving and these have a 40,000 mile tread warranty. My Goodyear F1s lasted a year and a half for...

Hey Guys, My aftermarket sway bar endlink snapped in the front. I was looking at rock auto and they have several different parts with different lengths. I want to put factory style endlinks back on in the front. Anyone have a recommendation or know the length for stock ride height? Thanks! Matt

Was driving home tonight and the check engine light popped on. I scanned it and got a P0421. I found this site with a decent explanation: http://www.obd-codes.com/p0421 However, I'm not that familiar with the exhaust system. Are there two catalytic converters? On ebay I'm seeing a small one...

I was in the blue 98 Cobra on Highway 94 on July 31st. That's a quick little car you've got there! I was heading to midnight madness down at Gateway Raceway.

I'm trying to setup my dashdaq to guestimate MPG and it wants to know a volumetric efficiency for the engine. I put in 85 off the top of my head as a guess.

When my blower motor is on (AC on or off) I hear pulses come through my speakers. If I turn the stereo off or the fan off it instantly goes away. Where should I start troubleshooting?

The one on my MP3 is split badly. If anyone has one in decent shape they'd be willing to part with send me a PM with a price shipped to 63390. Thanks!

I'm quickly becoming a frequent poster here. (rofl) I noticed my intake tube has completely split open on a couple of the ribs so I'm letting unmetered air into the motor. I used the "one product that fixes everything" duct tape solution for the moment. Anyone have a takeoff tube that's in...

Was stopped in traffic and the car lunged towards the car in front of me. I pulled into neutral just as it died and then pushed it to the side of the road. I did make it on the home page of STLToday.com. That's me right behind the sign on the right.

I'm interested in purchasing all the parts to add cruise control to a 2001 MP3.

I got 31.6 mpg on my last tank that was about 90% highway. I think I would do better with cruise. Any options that have worked well?

I'm going to be putting my wife's car up for sale on here shortly. Wanted to see what you guys thought was a fair asking price. 2001 Mazda Protege MP3 We purchased this car in 2002 with 17,000 miles on it if I remember right. 132,000 miles Dec. 2008 - New spark plugs, timing belt and both...

My wife's mp3 has pulsing rotors. I flushed the brakes fluid which helped but didn't completely solve it so I'm guessing it's the rotors. They have 132,000 miles on them so I don't feel too bad about replacing them. Any recommendation on pad/rotor combos for all four corners? Looking for...
