    Another mazda newbie

    Sup guys, my name is Matt I recently purchased a 2002 Mazda Protege from a friend. I know nothing about mazda's, never owned one in my life (DSM guy here). Thought I'd join up and see if i can learn some stuff about these cars.

      welcome to CP
      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.

          Just trying to learn what I can about the motors, parts availability, how to boost power, turbo info, anything really. I work at O'reillys so I get a lot of parts for decently cheap. Just looking to do as many upgrades as I can.

              I see that not many people on here have the 2002 similar models. Why is this?

                      Lol, I bought this one for 1200 and the motor was replaced a year and a half ago. But maybe they were more expensive when you bought a car.

                          That sounds like a hellava deal.

                          I'm extremely pleased with my '00 Dx purchased a few months ago for 1800; I think that was a great deal.

                            It has very minor things wrong with it. Needs a tune up probably, timing belt replaces (came with it), some body/interior work. But I think it was a great deal. the car runs great. has a fairly new motor (was replaced a year ago)
