I remember when the MP3 came out and how disappointed I was - it looked the business, but the FS engine was such a disappointment... only 140hp but required premium unleaded? It was no match for the SE-R, SVT, or Si. Such a swing and miss! When the Mazdaspeed came out all that excitement returned, but I felt it was still a little lackluster for what Mazda *could* have done. Not that 170hp was bad, but I think it may have been the lowest output turbo engine sold at the time. Even Saab was up to 205hp. :) I may just be bitter because Mazda never saw fit to put the FS turbo in the Protege5. ;) That would have been a match made in heaven.
Glad you've been afforded the opportunity to live a dream - a Mazdaspeed Protégé is downright special today, a rare find. Hopefully you can bring it back to its former glory!
