The solution is a 200 dollar CAI from Injen which not only makes the MSP run better but a decent bit faster as well. There is a delay feeling with the engine that has to do with the intake. There have been problems with the Mazdaspeed as can be seen on. There is a difference in feedback when good suspension hits a bump versus so so suspension that is just firm as hell. The Mazdaspeed is not a 6s but it feels sporty going over bumps if you know what I mean. The PR5 feels like I ran over a tree stump on the smallest holes. The suspension is very stiff but it "hits" bumps much better than the PR5. The Mazdaspeed felt more substantial than the PR5 when I first pulled it onto the street. I still like the PR5 for it is a great handling wagon that allows me to haul things a little better than a sedan.
My PR5 is the worst car for bumps than any I have ever been in. I think Proteges are terrible on harsh roads with lots of potholes.
#MAZDASPEED PROTEGE HOW TO#
The MSP is much better in ways than my PR5 and can be had cheap if you know where to go and how to negotiate. I was originally looking at the 6s which looks and feels great but is hard to get and not quite as fun as I once considered it.
#MAZDASPEED PROTEGE MANUAL#
I have test driven the Mazdaspeed Protege(Once) the Mazda 6s Manual (5 times) and I own a 2002 PR5. So basically its a great track car, but its no 98 eclipse GSX in that your not going to be able to get 500hp out of it simply by buying a boost controller. for me its still between that and the SVT Focus. basically though it's a solid car, go for the 2003.5 as they are a little less "boy racer" inside. since this was a parts bin car, some things like the intercooler were taken off other cars, in this case a diesel mazda. you can probably see improvements with a better exhaust and a real intercooler. guys with manual boost controllers dont go above 9.5 lbs. they are stock protege internals and can't handle much more boost. 1) a lot has been done for you allready suspension wise. Well you shouldn't double post things, but since im not a mod, i dont really care here is my responce from the other post in case you stop here first.
