I figured I would start a build thread knowing I was going to be modifying my MS3 quite heavily. Any ways I made my first new car purchase back in late July. I ended up trading in my 2002 Protege5 and the dealers and I came to an amazing deal. My name is Marcus and this my 2013 MS3 with Tech...

Like the title says I'm looking for a decent set of lug nuts for security and styling possibly red. What would everyone suggest for the oem rims?

This past Saturday I upgraded hatches and traded in my 2002 protege5. This is my very first new car purchase and I couldn't be happier. I did end up getting a great deal for the and the trade in. I couldn't pull myself from the velocity red and ended up getting the tech package. This is my...

Like the title says I got the p5 some what up to par for a trade in. She did well for the 3 years and 40k I put on her. Though it was tough and thanks to the community here she made it that far. It was time to let her go and relieve myself of some stress and misery with maintenance. I didn't...

I was poking around cl for a car possibly for my gf. Ended up coming across a klde swap. Was wondering if anyone knows of the build and if possible what information should I be armed with if I go and look at it. I understand the klde and klze are different hp. Is the de worth the possible money...

A couple of months ago I replaced the water pump in p5 and some of you know what that entails. The install went well, besides the codes it decided to throw afterwards. P0140 and P0325 I have read a tab bit over the issue and have checked all of my fuses. The plugs seem to be in decent...

I've always drooled over the thought of owning a speed 3. With my career taking off and making some money. Here pretty soon Iam planning on buying a new or semi new ms3(upgrade from my p5). Just wondering how much some of you paid for them and what exactly comes with the different models. Also...

I was having problems with the car starting right before I replaced my water pump and tensioner + idler. The car ran great after the fix for awhile, but now it is having an issue turning over. The car as thrown 2 codes at me, P0140 and P0325. The car sometimes turns on the first turn of the...

I know I haven't been around for some time. This is due to me just graduationg from my institute and being a busy man. This has come to a stop today because I have run into a problem. I noticed a huge wet spot near the front passenger side of my car the other day, but didn't think to look at it...

I've search through some of the threads from the past, and I kinda but don't get some of these solutions. I own a 2002 Edition. My shift has just become stubborn as hell to throw into Park, and I can't start the car in park I always have to put her in Neutral. I also am having to force the...

May Protege5 is dropped on some Tokico ILK Series Strut Spring setup and it seems no matter what tire size (195/50/16)I put on my rear passenger side it rubs going into turns and with passengers. Note that this is the only side I ever have problems with, would shaving or minimum pinching them...

So, while I was under my car changing the oil I noticed this tube hanging down. Looking at how its cut and where it is I was thinking, could it be a condensation hose or a vent hose of some sort?

Well, I am a huge Mazda guy and know a bit about the FCs. Here to ask if this would be a decently reliable vehicle for my GF to drive back and forth to and from work(only about 5 miles if that). What are some common issues with them, because I will be the one attempting the work if anything goes...

Some of you know I just dropped my car on some Tokico ILK Shock/Spring setup. My passenger side rear wheel always seems to rub whenever I have passengers and if there is even 1 person in the back. I do have a slightly larger tire(205) back there, but it even happened before the drop on my...

Trying to get some feedback on these ebay struts... Anyone buy them or heard anything about them?

Back on the hunt for some possibly minor used after marked struts and shocks and some lowering springs. Let me know what you have.

Well, I know I haven't posted in over a month now due to school... Once again I'm thinking about lowering my Auto P5. I did install some 8mm wheel spacers all around and found that my rear passenger side fender kept rubbing the outer wall of my wheel when hitting minor bumps and such. I ended...

So, I got a cheap set of HIDs and can't really find a good place to mount the Ballast in a predrilled hole... They came with a bracket and some double sided tape. Would prefer not to drill hole, How have y'all done it and would you use tape?

Well, as you see I may have to sell my protege5 here soon. The icecream turned to s*** real fast the other day. I have 3 check engine codes popping up and may be too expensive, rather too much than I want to put into it for my DD. Trying to get the most bang for my buck here and am trying to...

I am just exploring some options here. Is anyone selling a decent set of blues and some sort of lowering springs? Or does anyone know where I could get a set for cheap. Planned on a Blue/ Eibach Prokit set up
