Car is SOLD.

Here we go. Car is pretty grungy right now but that's what happens when you're a dad ;)

Completely forgot about that. None of the other forums I frequent require that. Hopefully it won't rain today...

Where is the best place to get front upper strut mounts for my 2004 Mazda3 5-door? Mazda wants almost $200 each and I'm hoping to find an aftermarket (Moog/Monroe/KYB etc) solution that costs less. We haven't had this car long and I'm not yet wired into sources for inexpensive parts. The...

Thanks for the clarification. Sounds like a good setup - it has to ride better than the dead damper/sagged Sprint combo I'm currently running. I doubt I'll have the car for another 100k, even if I keep it another 2-3 years.

Fair point. I'm aware that a setup like this would be used. My car has 140k miles and I figured if I could find an MSP setup that had been removed at 50-70k in favor of an aftermarket setup and had just been sitting around that that would be a good upgrade. Finding that might not be practical...

You do mean my factory swaybars, right? Not Energy Suspension or something? Just making sure. Now, anyone want to sell me a complete MSP strut/spring setup?

The Sprints have sagged. They are noticeably lower in front than they were a few years ago. They have to go. I'd really like some answers about the MSP suspension's compatibility with the stock ES swaybar setup.

Uh... please?

So - I bought my 2002 ES in 2007. It's approaching 140k miles and while I was thinking about getting rid of the car, it makes financial sense for me to keep it for a while longer. This means addressing a few issues. 1. The car has had Sprint springs on it since I bought it. I have the...

So, my 2002 ES has clutch chatter. In fact it's always had it since I bought the car 4 years ago. I feel it's getting worse recently and I'm seriously considering replacing the clutch to alleviate the problem. I need to know whether Mazda has a newer OEM clutch kit that doesn't have the...

Clearly. What's interesting is that AZ looks like they only list one part number. I got what looks like the right part from the dealer. Hopefully it'll work.

Long story short - I bought my 2002 Protege ES with an AWR rear swaybar on it. It had been installed incorrectly, and the endlinks were wrecked. At the time I just needed daily transport, so I removed it. I bought new endlinks from AWR with the intention of re-installing it properly, but...

Bump again. Somebody help me out! Now willing (reluctantly) to buy a complete driver's kick panel, as long as it gets me the fuse box cover.

Bump.

Never mind, found one on ebay. I'll be back if it goes wrong.

Did a search, but mostly came up with HID-oriented threads... I'm interested in trying to find a set of OEM-replacement headlights for my 2002 ES. Nothing ricey; I just want to replace the seriously nicked-up lights I've got with a clean set. Obviously budget is an issue; I haven't checked...

I almost never post here... My '02 ES is my daily and as such doesn't have many mods. Anyway, I hate when the steering wheel/shifter are rubber, rather than leather. I found a Miata Nardi wheel to deal with that issue. I wanted a round knob like the stock rubber one (pictured above in...

Got manufacturers/part numbers?
