    Shifting Thumps???

    I was just wondering if this is normal on MSP's or if I just need new motor mounts. Everytime I am driving the car and if I floor a gear up above 5000 rpm or so then switch gears normally (instead of power shifting), the car seems to give a hard thump or push or whatever. I can't explain it. If...

    WTB: J-Pipe

    Does anyone have a MSP j-pipe that they are willing to part? I need one because my right-side j-pipe flange that bolts to the mid-pipe broke. I'd rather buy from someone local (MN). Does the NA Protege J-pipe fit the MSP? Does anyone know where I can buy one for a good price? lmk. Thanks.

    Thinking about selling my MSP. Lmk if interested.

    I have a 2003.5 Titanium gray Mazdaspeed Protege that I'm thinking about selling. It currently has a little less than 55k miles on it. I've only had it for about three months, but my priorities have changed, so I'm thinking about selling it. I would like $13k obo for it. I would like to sell it...

    Ordering from Protege Garage

    Has anyone ordered parts from Protege Garage online before? I was planning on ordering a midpipe but I noticed that their site is not secure. Any thoughts on this? Is there another way of ordering too? Thanks.

    Apex or Protege Garage???

    I am debating which to get, either the Apex jpipe+midpipe+cat or the PG midpipe+cat. PG is cheaper, but which one will give me a better hp gain? How about physical quality of the parts? Will the addition of the jpipe make a difference? Any sound differences? I plan on running it with my stock...

    Upgrades and Warranty Questions

    I have my 03.5 MSP and I'm planning on doing some upgrades. The only problem is that I have a 3yr/100k mile extended warranty (I currently have 53k), so I don't want to do anything too major that will void my warranty. These are the mods that I am thinking about doing: - Already have Injen CAI...

    New Head Unit

It sounds alot better and has more features than the stock Kenwood head unit. The stock Kenwood speakers sound alot better with my deck than...

Anybody know who used to own this car and what all has been modified to it previously or currently? I know there is an Injen CAI, Autometer...

    Hesitation.... Flash....

    Okay, so I just purchased my car and when driving the car it seems to be having its hesitations. The car, from what I know, only has a CAI. Under the hood there is a label that states "Mazda Authorized Modification" with the value "3ALU-12A650-MC" and "P/N 9999-95-AMDC-97" as stated in the...

    Redline/Fuel Cut

    What is the fuel cut on the MSP? I see the redline is at 6500 rpm, but I just tried my MSP that I just bought and it went past 6500. I got close to 7000 and I stopped because I wasn't sure if it was supposed to go that high. I don't know if the person who had the car before me installed...

    Just purchased new MSP

    Hello. This is my first post. I just purchased a 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege and I just want to know if there are any known problems with these cars in stock condition. It already has an Injen CAI, autometer boost gauge and air/fuel ratio gauge. Boost shows just below 7 and vac shows 20 at idle...
