mazdaspeed sux !!!

[2fnfast]

i just bought a new mazdaspeed protege at the begining of the month and it has already died on me three time with the same problems. the first time it was 30 minutes after i got it home, then it was another week later and the last time i was on my way from the nopi car show in atlanta. the problem is that the battery drains real real quick and the dealership blames me for the problems. i just wanna know if anyone else has this problem or anything like this ?

No crap!! I have had mine since June.....and my Radio broke...and they took it right in and fixed it!! I think you need to strong arm them a lil and see what they do. I'd say if you kept calling them and showing up ......they will probably fix it to get rid of you!

yea they blamed me for all the problems, even the techs that came from cali to ga to look at it. so my dad and i got a lawyer after the techs told me i needed to get the car off the lot even though they know of the existing problem that it has that they cannot fix. so we charged the dealership and the car with the lemon law deal. and they are in the buy back process at this moment. after this i'm done with cars, i'm in the truck scene now with an s-10. it's gonna be bagged and bodydropped and shaved by christmas, with plans of either suicide or lambo doors and some dubs.

I do a lot of driving i bought my msp in september the new 03.5 one the one that comes in silver, yellow,gm, etc anyway since september i've put about 13,000 miles on the car and it starts everyday the only problem i have is when it went below 0 a few nights ago it was a bit of a hard start u were just unlucky. Can anyone tell me where to find a cf hood for the car?

[505zoom]

WingsWest currently makes the best EVO hood (IMO). Fiber Images makes an OEM style and I think they are coming out with an EVO hood as well. VIS has the cheapest hoods, and they make both EVO and OEM style hoods. iON Performance makes OEM style CF hoods, and you can get them in colored weaves to match the car.

iON and WingsWest both have great customer service.

Which color do you have, and which style do you want, EVO or OEM???

[goat_launcher]

agreed...Westwings knows what the hell their doing, and their not too pricey...I have no clue why sooping up Protege's seems like a new idea, but more power to you if you wanna rice it up.

Well, if you can't afford the EVO hood then I suggest iON's blue CF/kevlar hood. If you can spend the cash though, get the WingsWest hood and paint it like their show MP3. The raised sides of the hood are painted to match the car, and the lower middle part is left CF. They also have accesories like CF louvers and bonnets on the show car to make it look even more aggressive.

Here are some details about the iON hoods:

???

How do you consider a CF hood rice? And whoever said anything about new ideas besides you???

BTW, I noticed in your profile that you claim to have a 96 Mazdaspeed RX-7. Since the Protege' was Mazdaspeed's very first production car in '03, care to explain what makes your RX-7 a "Mazdaspeed"?

Well, obviously your information is wrong. Get it?

No actually, I don't get it. What piece of info do I have wrong??? You don't have to be a dick about it, I just have never heard of this, and I have heard that the protege' was mazdaspeed's first production car from several sources. Maybe you have a RX-7 that is modded with mazdaspeed parts, but that does not make it a "mazdaspeed RX-7". GET IT????

Oh yeah, and how is a CF hood rice again??? I don't think you can really talk about that alteeza boy.
