    Yes - another noob

    Ive just purchased a 96 1.5L 5sp Protege,my first Mazda. It was rear ended (needs a bumper) so, I picked it up for $350. It passed emissions and started up after sitting since October. Im looking forward to learning about my new Mazda!

    I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

      My Protege plans

      My plans are to first fix the existing issues,

      1- 1st gear is difficult to engage,shifts smooth from 1st to 2nd
      2- Get the rear pulled out so at least the trunk can close
      3- Find an aftermarket rear bumper

            welcome. What color is your interior? You got a pretty good deal on the pro and a real good deal if it has the grey interior
            I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                    try www.corksport.com
                    Good thing COKSPORT.Com isnt a working URL. I wouldnt want to see what type of site it would have been

                    So I was about a 1/2 QT low on gear oil so that explains the hard engagement of 1st.

                    Emailed Corksport about bumpers,

                    Hi,

                    Im new to Mazda and was refered to your site thru ClubProtege. I was wondering what body kits if any you offer for my car, I especially need a rear bumper cover. What kit is on the Protege on your site?

                    Reply today...

                    The kit on the protege on our webpage is a Erebuni one I believe. We are actually in the process of removing the whole 95-98 models from the webpage. We dont have much left available for the cars anymore.

                    I can get a Japanese rear bumper for your protege. It sticks off the car less that the stock one but I do not have a good picture of it. The wait time is kind of a killer, 3 months. It sells for $221.

                    Thanks
                    Derrick

                    Also today

                    I picked up a inst. cluster on FleaBay for $ 40
                    New trunk lid and R tail lens for $40



                    Thanks everyone
