Okay, my apologies for getting so OT and all...

as far as my take on the MSP thing. it seems as though there's alot of MSP owners who are getting to the point of moving on which may indeed mean a surge in true enthusiasts coming about getting ahold of some of those sweet turbo'd tighthandling machines, and not spending soo much on them that they're afraid to mess things up. Thatsaid, (and this is not a dis) but there doesn't seem to really be the amount of traffic in here to jsutify it as-of-yet. ALso with the rise of turbo'd 5's and es's etc out there the lines are blurry.

MazdaSPeed Protege

I own a yellow Mazdaspeed Protege, 2003.5. I was appalled to read what some of the MSP owners wrote on this topic. The Protege is basically a PRotege with many mods........ but it's still a protege........... I love my protege, and I think it's a great car, but it's still a Protege. It's almost like saying an Integra Type-r isn't an integra............ I'm sorry, but it was just ridiculous to hear that some people think the MSP is it's own.......... if it was it's own, why does it use the same 2.0 liter engine the Normal Protege uses??? slapping on a turbo doesn't make it it's OWN.......... It shares the same chasis and base engine for god sakes!, lol.

Well, I'm just dropping by to give my opinion, and this opinion is coming from someone who drives an MSP 2003.5.

Thx
Six

this was just about to see if there can be a seperate forum period. not that it is a different model and i agree that its still a pro with mods, and i stand corrected but my issue was to ask since there are so many models of pro's there that the msp could have it's own forum but i know now that it shouldnt. geezz
sorry for the suggestion, and maybe i will crawl back in my cave for another 5 to 6 months. by the way six can you explain titanium yellow to me that is in your sig?

If I remember correctly, that's what they call Vivid Yellow in Canada. As far as the MSP having its own forum, that's one of the biggest things I hate about some of the other boards. They've got separate forums for the sedan, P5, MP3 and MSP's, but the cars are all basically the same in a lot of respects, and you tend to lose some of the people that could very well answer a question you had because they might not frequent the other section.

the only reason I suggested a seperate forum is that sometimes it is hard to scroll through the **** that might not apply to me or, specific stuff about the MSP that I am looking for. I will agree that it is the same engine and blaw its the same damn car. Like I said before I am informaton greedy.

Mazdaspeed Protege

Titanium Yellow is the color of my MSP. I'm sorry if I was a bit aggressive on my previous post, I don't mean to be out of line or anything like that. As for the MSP having it's own separate little section.......... It might not be such a bad idea.........

I think the MSP should have it's own section. I also think the PR5 and the ES need thier own little sub sections under 3rd Gen.

The cars are similar and you can do a search on the whole 3rd gen area if you want. But if you are looking for a specific detail on only the MSP, you can't do that, you have to look at all the results of the 3rd gen.

I hope this makes sense, sorry.

MSP 2003.5 Pull me over Yellow!
