So I had already driven one once, but it was very tame city driving and the salesperson was with me. Car was reminiscint of my MSP, so I liked it. Went for a drive today and got to fly solo. So here goes: The porter pulled the car up, and I noticed immediately that the exhaust note was...

If the XEDE unit on a stock car can hit 288whp and the TMIC is good for 20whp on a stock car, why hasnt anyone done both and showed off a 300whp dyno sheet yet? I wanna see it!

Hello ladies and gents! Just wanted to say hey. I was a former MSP owner turned 2001 SOM SS owner, and that car is being sold tomorrow and Im picking up an MS3! I test drove one the other day and it was a blast and I needed something more practical, so now im in love. Anything I should look...

I took my 03.5 MSP to the dealer for TSB fixes (clunk and brakes) and they wouldnt do the brake work, citing that the TSB I showed them from this site says 2002 Protege. What can I do to get my rotor hubs fixed?

I live in Columbia MO and somebody put a msprotege.com flyer on my car on campus the other day. Who are you?

My car died overnight and when I am trying to jump it the alarm is going crazy and the car wont even crank. It says in my owners man. that there is an emergency override button, but it is obviously hidden. Any ideas?

I was just washing my MSP and my passenger side mirror is almost ready to fall off it's so loose. I see the nuts I need to tighten---underneath that tweeter at the front of the door by the window. How do I get to those nuts? I pulled on the tweeter speaker cover and it seems attached, and I...

So I found somethings in the search that were similar to my problem, but nothing exact. Here is the deal. Went to start the car last night and it didnt start the first try, just cranked. So I stopped, tried again, and it started. I figure it had to do with the cold and battery issues, so I...

On my way to work today---making a left into a parking lot where the road is two ways, each direction having one lane. Traffic was stopped, and the oncoming car yielded to me to let me turn. Then some bumfuck decides he wants to be going 50mph on the shoulder around the cars and here is what...

I want to see what it looks like, and im not really sure if anything like that could be photoshoped. Anyone with pics?

Just got my car flashed on Friday---I had sent the dealer a copy of the post someone put up from the MNAO rep with the file name and everything---when I went in to the dealer he said that they have actually rereleased a new flash 4 times already (something like versions xxx.4 being the first...

600 miles is a decent break-in? I couldnt help myself today and finally took it to redline at WOT thru 1st and 2nd. Ohhhh, the relief:) I dont think I could have made it a day longer:D

Does anyone else besides Spool manufacture hard pipes yet? Its not that I don't trust Spool, it's just that they are pricey. Also, anyone who has hardpipes, what sort of differences did you feel, not only in performance but in sound, quality of product, install difficulty, etc. Thanks

Well I just got my car tonite and I already love it. Only problem is, the stereo took a dump after about 40 miles. I went over a bump and it just stopped. And there isnt a Mazda dealer here in Columbia that is certified to sell MSP's so I dont even know if they can look at it. Over all...

Is there anywhere where I can find superdetailed info on the car? Like dimensions that you wont find on a normal spec sheet (piston to valve clearance, piston type and material, turbo specs like A/R ratio and Compressor wheel size, how its cooled if it is, etc.)

Im not quite sure if the room exists, but make some sort of ducting in front of the intercooler to channel more air towards it? Kinda like this if you can understand. Air l l l l l l l l l l l...

First off, dont tell me to search. Now that thats out of the way, I have a few questions before I get the car. 1. What sort of cleaner do you use on the wheels? I have Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish and think it should work, but I was just curious. 2. Do you recommend using Synthetic oil...

Well I showed the Camaro to a guy this morning, and he threw me an offer right there. So I came home, went straight to the Mazda dealer, and parked it in a titanium '03.5 w/ 8 miles for $18477!!!!!!!!!! Im picking up the car next week once all the Camaro paperwork is said and done, and Ill...

Im looking to get an MSP soon now, but I think I may be getting a 2003.5 instead of a 2003. Does anyone with the 2003 like the mid year models wheels better, and if so want to trade? I personally like the finish of the 03 wheels better. Anybody interested if I get my car soon?
