    Default 2001 mazda protege mp3

    well, I purchased a home 6 months ago, sold all my cars,bikes, ect to fund it and a renovation. drove a POS 93 civic for that time.

    saved a little bit of money to have a nice vehicle again.

    Came across this, and was happy to research that its a pretty neat little car.

    Great condition for age. All stock. 1500 made. 1200 blue, 300 yellow

    Ive been getting 28 mpg mix driving

    it funny, ive had bikes that cost 3x this car, and much nicer cars, but it was when i had alot of "cash on hand" now that i had to save real hard to buy this (and drive a "we buy junk cars" posterchild, it seems i appreciate it more.)

    FACTORY UPGRADES/PARTS: all parts come on this car factory. pretty neat, sound system is stupid for factory.
    racing beat exhaust
    racing beat strut bar
    racing beat front/rear sway bars
    tokico shocks/springs
    k&n filter
    kenwood headunit
    kenwood door speakers (front and back)
    kenwood 10 inch speaker in trunk
    nardi steering wheel
    racing hart rims

    car isnt fast, isnt a track monster, but all around its an amazing car for a daily driver.

    since i aquired it, i changedfront pads, headlights, and added a mazdaspeed shift knob.
    only plans id have for it would be mazdaspeed6 wheels to give it a newer look. (and they are 18s vs teh 17s on it)

    You've always had your priorities in line, sure you could get the z06 you wanted but you got a house and a pretty nice daily. Good stuff Casey.

    I also remember when these were released. They were like the little brother to the Mazdaspeed Protege. Nice cars for a daily.

    its so much harder to find a MP3 over a MSP its crazy. Havent seen one in years I think most people sold theirs and bought Mazdaspeeds. Very nice driving car, enjoy it! LEt me know if you need some parts, I know a few folks!
