    WTT: Your DDable Mazda for my MSP swap

    Here's way too much info about my car:
    I learned to drive in my mom's 1992 BG sedan. It was a great car to my family, many memories and road trips, and when my mom finally replaced it in 2005 I took it over. I moved to AZ from MT and replaced the 13" 165 series wheels with 205/40/17 on cheezy alloys. It looked goofy without being...




    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!
