    Hi Everyone, I joined up because I just bought a new Mazda 3 (Soul Red SGT) and this is my 4th Mazda. This one has so many gadgets compared to my first 1978 Mazda GLC Sport 3-Door which has no AC, crank windows and a manual choke! I loved that car! After that, I had a 1991 Mazda Protege LX...

    Hi -- Thanks for having this forum available. I recently retired my 2002 Protege and replaced it with a new (2014) Mazda3. Glad that Mazda still has the sense to offer a manual transmission! I plan to add some floor mats and cargo liner. Your forum has helped me narrow down my choices...

    How's it going. Just joined and so far am pleased to find a good community. I'm an old guy and appreciate positive folks. Loved my Protege ES. Amazingly reliable for the first 210,000 miles. I literally replaced one 02 sensor, plugs/wires, batteries, brakes and timing belts/water pumps over...

    So I can't think why I didn't ask you guys way before now but I am looking at putting mazdaspeed protege rims on my hatchback. I am not lowered or anything like that, I got them for a good price with like new tires. My question is will they actually fit? I have heard that spacers might be needed...

    I have done the search, and did not find any comparison info.... I had a P5, and now I have a Genpu, both manual. In my P5, I changed the transmission fluid (the gear oil) to Redline MT90, and it made a world of difference. In P5, as some of you know for sure, the shifter is connected to a...

    I picked up an old scratched up set of 2002 protege rims and just finished re-painting them. I followed all the instructions and ended up with rims that have a sandpaper-like finish, would this cause any problems with the paint rubbing/washing off? My main concern is with car washes, I'm afraid...

    Hello M3R, this is my first post. I'm picking up a graphite 2010 Mazda 3 Sport GT-E today. I find the stock rims pretty blah. There's a guy locally selling some of the RacingHart rims from the 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege. They're the same size as stock with a 50mm offset. I don't want to go...

    I test drove a brand new Mazda 3 last weekend. My 03 Protege with 107,000 miles still runs strong, but I am interetsed in purchasing a 2nd car. I was really concerned that there was no temp guage in the new 3. As I drove it, I couldn't tell when the car was warmed up so I could turn on the heat...

    These are with the stock catback. Easy takeoff. Another, more aggressive takeoff. Oops, ran out of gear at the top of 3rd. Sure looks slower on video! Mid 3rd, accelerating.
