Mazda Forums is a great source for mazdaspeed info.

Amazing places for gofast parts.

Just basing the info as it was presented to me at the time. Not saying it was true but saw what a few simple mods would produce. Of course were talkin brand new 2-3 mile engines as well, as far as the gearbox, don't know much about the stability of those.But nevertheless I would prefer a Mazdaspeed Protege over the current offering but that's just me. Gina got what she wanted and that's really all that matters in this thread.
