Hey guys,
I just picked up a 01 Mazda Protege MP3 that i came across randomly one day while i was browsing at work. I just sold my red protege over the weekend
new owner will be picking it up tomorrow, going to be a sad day.. really enjoyed it while it lasted. But now with this new ride i can focus on some performance mod and a few exterior mods to compliment it. I'll just post everything in this section since it'll be a continual build from my old one with some same parts
Anyways on with some pictures
Most recent as of 19/10/2016
Slapped on some winter tires/rims from RedArrow, just in time for snow!
Swapped out the new headlights that were on the red pro
And just rolled over 147k km today
I've swapped over a few things including:
- Msp seats
- Headlights
- Tailights
- Window visors
- HKS axle back
- 03 cupholders
- leather steering wheel (stock nardi was worn out)
- Short ram intake
- MSP front lip (needs to be painted next summer)
Already done some maintenance on it including:
- Tranny mount
- Oil change
- MTX fluid change
- Coolant flush + thermostat change
- Rust proof everywhere!!
My to do list
- Change EGR valve (P0401 code currently present, ordered CAN revised version which is on the way)
- Timing belt + water pump (Picked up kit from MOSI)
- Install OBX 4-2-1 header
- Coilovers or struts/spring combo
- New tires
- Brakes + paint calipers
- 20mm spacers /front 15m/rear
That's pretty much it for now, just waiting for spring to come now so i can begin with mods!
