This was my first car. I was 21 and put all my savings towards it. It almost took me 3 months to learn how to drive it since I had never drove stick before but omg I miss it so much
Yooo same it’s my first car and first manual car too , I’m 19 and I done wrecked the car once already and been rebuilding it ever since then 💪🏻🤌🏼 I fucking love my 03 MAZDASPEED pro
I ended up buying a clapped protege for my first car when I was 16, insane car. Im 20 now and don't regret it at all, even after the money I dumped into it for it to breakdown lmfao. Turbo sounded insane, handles like a go-kart and thing was LIGHT. That little bit of horsepower on it means nothing with the amount of weight the car has lol.
I didn't know they existed 72 hours before I bought mine a month ago. Got kinda lucky and the guy I was buying from didn't know what he had/the value of all the bolt ons. Best car I've had in a long time
Bought the car brand new in 03.5. Worst car I've ever owned honestly. But I could of bought a lemon. Tranny blew at 52k. Had issues the entire time if ownership
@@TheSoapiestWanger tranny is a weak point, if you hammered it good for those 52k miles that is expected with these by now. Honestly the community is tight nit, and by now any and all issues with these (like a tranny blowing at 52k) has not only been solved but is still brought up pretty quick if you ask the right questions. There are Facebook groups for these cars that are actually non-toxic and nothing but helpful. That alone makes these cars amazing
I drive a 21 mazda3 turbo sedan today and I’d flip it in a second for one of these. I had a base spec 00 protege manual back in the day and that car made me fall in love with Mazda. Never looked back. Awesome build. Super clean sound and killer stance.
Had a MS6 but always wanted a Protege.. the look of this car is insane. I love it! Clean build man take care of it they're starting to get very rare in that condition
This car is good...I bought a sti but couldn't let go of my msp 03.5.. nice ride good power...very underlooked car..good handling and good looking...keep msp alive
just bought one for my self this video is super super inspirational, want to do stuff to mine this gave me a idea on exactly what to do thanks homie she looks immaculate such a good underrated car for sure
@@prometheusfireswordtheiiim7329 Forreal this was my old speed in the video i just sold it and literally everyone thought it was an older Subaru, I even got an evo once haha
Hey guys! Y’all have been on the MSP game for a while… have anyone heard about putting a 6 speed manual transmission on the MSP?? I think that would make this car perfect IMO
I was watching this one intently on the website when I first moved in the area-looks like it’s gone to a happy home now! Very cool car. I keep asking my best friend to ask his uncle if he’s sold his orange Mazdaspeed protege. 🤣
Just got a 2000 mazda protege es just mounted 17's on it next step a good investment in the engine bay and exhaust then audio and paint to finish this project
Lol just popped up on craigslist, thinking of buying. Decided to look at TH-cam videos and educate myself a bit and this is the exact one up in Washington.
My friends brother had an orange mazdaspeed protege that he took real good care of and when he decided to sell it I asked my dad to help me buy it but it wasn't meant to be sadly. Would've been an awesome 1st car
Sorry I haven't replied right away but my build is going okay took apart the transmission the motor everything now getting ready to put it back in the car we did the cabin so hopefully I'll have some pictures soon
really like your msp, your wheel fitment is damn near perfect..what are your wheel/tire dimensions? trying to dial in the fitment on my 2003 mazda “speed” protoge5..tnx!
@@nutzdeez5748 he did try and originally sell it for 11.5. In the beginning. I mean i tried asking him if he knew about these cars and urged him to buy it to use as a personal car and not to flip it. “He was like yeah I’ll probably keep it”
Sweet ride!!!......What brand of radiator is it you are using and how do I get one for my own? I've got an "automatic" so the transmission cooler is included in the bottom radiator tank....I need the extra cooling capacity as its the 1.6 VVT which is now also Turbocharged .....If anyone knows where I can order one please let me know. Thanks
What you see there exsposed on the front is a heat exchanger (hot air cooler). The Turbo is spun using hot exhaust gasses, plus it's 9 pounds of boost (stock has 6#'s) the compressed air will get very hot. If you own an air compressor you will notice it gets very hot. The more the boost, the hotter the air, the bigger the cooler needs to be. Cooler air makes more power, lots more!
@@hazel-annpadilla9208 Yes I also have a Turbo Inter-cooler or heat exchanger as you said mounted at the front similar to yours, but I was referring to the main radiator for the engine itself where you put the coolant / anti freeze / water to cool the engine.....that radiator Mishimoto is it?? Where can I get one? Thanks much..

Was this by chance for sale in Portland OR? I believe I saw it listed at a dealer a few months back and was drooling over it.
@@benhogervorst No I don’t think so. A few years later my dad drove it and got T-Boned. Everyone was ok but the car wasn’t :(

Always liked these mazdaspeeds. Not many people know about them.
I'm from Mexico, exactly from Nuevo Laredo and I just bought a mazdaspeed protege
I have one of this but an 03 protege have been sitting for almost 3 years

How much boost are you running?
Should be stock.
No it’s on 9lbs of boost when I sold it to him.
@@jachzones ok is it tuned at all or running a piggyback
@@Thatspeedprotege set up with a split second tuner down by the passenger floor and has the flash access port in the glove box
