    Clutch going out?

    Pros and Cons

    I have been surfing several Mazda forums lately. I am always thinking about what I want to do to my car. When I first got my Protg, I has planned to keep the engine pretty much stock other then a few mods here & there. At this stage, the only thing I have done is modified my air-intake...

    Protege Gas Mileage Thread

    My manual says 13.2 gallons not sure what they would be. I know I get better in the city then I do highway because fifth gear is so short. I'll admit I tend to drive a bit hard though town at time or accelerate harder then I should.

    Struts.

    To be honest at 101,000 miles on it they are getting there I'm sure but they don't make any noise when I take off. I wonder what they would tell me once they changed the struts what the noise is...(sadbanana)

    Struts.

    They replaced the pads turned the drums in the back they said the front one were fine. I'm thinking that they used crappy pads if anything else. I've never replaced brake pads before I have a friend who has maybe I'll try that with some better pads & see where that leaves me. They said they...

    Struts.

    So I took my car in a while back to get my brakes fixed. Some time after that it seemed that they started to squeel again. So I took it back now they are saying that I need my struts fixed but if I buy the parts he'll do it for $100.00. Just driving the car is there a way you can tell if...

    Protege Gas Mileage Thread

    Either some of you are full of BS or something BAD is wrong with my car. I mostly drive to & from work & I'll admit I might keep it in third when driving around town, to keep from shifting so much. 40 MPG with a slushbox is a bit hard to believe. My car is stock for now at least. I get about...

    2010 Sho

    Yeah that would be sweet. The first year they had the SHO sold good Then they made the car heaver & heaver. Sales went down hill I drove one the first year they came out very fast. Read an article that from 100 on up they would outrun a Mustang GT because of it's shape.

    Ford is the only American company who is not in the tank. GM is in the biggest trouble & the Dodge would be next. Fords saving grace is that it's got car's coming over here that get over 40 MPG.

    First Mod's

    Same here but I'll never go turbo on my 00. I'll be shooting for around 140 WHP, now the suspension will get a re-do with 140 & the suspension worked over the car will be a blast. From the factory the car is fun was fun to drive so with the mods I'm planning it will be even more so.
