- This is my 2003 Mazda protege 5.. it’s been down for about a year but I finally fixed her and got her back on the road. That last touch was putting a new thermostat to fix the over heating issue. This 2.0l FS I4 also comes in the 2001-2003 Mazda protege, 2003-2003.5 mazda speed protege and 2002-2003 mazda protege 5. Very simple and easy work. If I should do more content like this let me know in the comments!
Nice looking car. Thanks for sharing
Don't swap out the constant-tension hose clamps for the worm-drive type. They are there to keep constant clamping force on the hose no matter what the temperature. They are especially important on plastic unions like the radiator to prevent overtightening and cracking the plastic.
As far as breaking stuff on accident, I'm pretty sure I've recorded it a few times, but have yet to upload those times.
I sometimes don’t even bother looking. Rather not remember it 😂
That's easy turbo swap if you get lucky if you find Mazda speed in junkyard can get some of the part from it
@@Doritos-7 I have done it before back in highschool but now getting Mazda speed protege parts is hard and not worth it. I have since moved on from the protege platform for this reason. Everything had to be custom and for my needs it just wasn’t feasible
