Here's way too much info about my car:
If you have a BF, BG, or BJ with daily drivability and good mileage hit me up. I love my car but I miss 35-40mpg!
The shell is 2000 Protege ES with approximately 110k miles. It received a complete drivetrain swap a few years back from
an 03.5 Mazdaspeed Protege with less than 40k miles. Functionally, this car is a Mazdaspeed. The only major differences are the
bodykit and interior, as well as the rear suspension/hubs/brakes.
This swap included everything great about the MSP:
FS-DET 2.0L Motor - only 51,000 miles!
Garret T25 BB Turbo
Side mount air-air intercooler
MSP 5-speed transaxle
Viscous Limited Slip Differential
heavy-duty clutch and pressure plate
short-throw shifter
upgraded 24mm axles
upgraded font brake calipers and 10.7-inch rotors
Tokico Blue front struts
Racing Beat front swaybar
Mazdaspeed red gauges
The car is completely stock except for a:
Sony Xplod Stereo CD Player
Apexi Turbo Timer
Autometer Boost Guage
Autometer Oil Pressure Guage
Unlike most MSP's, this one has never been modified or messed with. It's always run a stock tune and stock boost. Passed AZ emissions before I moved to MT.
Registered and insured in MT, clean title.
It has ice cold A/C, will idle in traffic in 110 degree weather all day, and gets 30mpg highway!
Has ABS, power windows, locks, power moonroof, really adjustable manual drivers seat. Everything works. No cruise. Dual front and side airbags
Many New Parts:
Front Wheel Bearings - $600
Front Brake Pads - $30
New Drivers Side window regulator - $300
New downstream O2 Sensor - $120
New Intake Air Temp sensor - $75
New ATP Waste Gate Actuator - $70
replacement Mazda floormats - $35
Trans fluid changed to Lucas Synthetic - $120
New Tailight - $35
New NGK spark plugs
New Rear Window - $180
I have receipts for everything I've done.
The rest:
To be honest the body is somewhat rough, with creases, nicks, and many scratches. It's hard to make it look ugly in pictures, the hunter
green hides it well. If you're interested in converting the body to MSP with the bumpers and sills and everything, you'll be doing bodywork and paint anyway.
As it is now it looks like a stock Protege nobody would think twice about, it is a total sleeper.
The interior is in just OK shape, with obvious signs of use. Everything works and looks fine.
The rear wheels, hubs, and suspension are still the OEM 2000 Protege ES units, with 4 lug hubs and drum brakes. You'll want to convert this to P5 or MSP or even 626 parts,
bringing the rear up to 5 lug and giving it disc brakes, like the front is.
Let me know what you've got. Thanks!
