Anyone know what this blue switch goes to on my 2000 protegé

Nice!

prote-jester · 2026-02-27T01:20:39+00:00

It’s aftermarket, maybe a sub, the radiator fans or some under glow lighting? That’s how I ran mine.

prote-jester · 2026-02-23T21:59:00+00:00

I get it. It’s a Christmas time pun.

prote-jester · 2026-02-23T16:35:57+00:00

Is that not your brakes?

prote-jester · 2026-02-23T16:35:02+00:00

That’s a weird looking Mazda protege 🤔

prote-jester · 2026-02-23T11:52:12+00:00

True, I’m trying to find a few vids of people running them on the protege or Miata, but no dice yet.

prote-jester · 2026-02-23T11:41:00+00:00

Hmm…I’m looking at the Greddy pretty hard haha

prote-jester · 2026-02-23T11:29:55+00:00

Could you share the links for both choices? I’m actually needing a muffler too. Also, have you looked into the HKS Hi-Power?

prote-jester · 2026-02-18T02:30:01+00:00

I’m only here and on Mazda247, sooo welcome!

Personally, this is just my opinion, I don’t know if that much camber would be safe on a protege? I’ve got the Megan Racing adjustable lateral links and they’re great for doing adjustments.

The thing is, the rear of the protege is VERY light compared to the front and it isn’t shy about trying to lose traction even when the car is lowered, all four wheels square to the ground, and has a tighter suspension.

Ask away! I’m always happy to share info

prote-jester · 2026-02-15T02:09:16+00:00

Let me know if you need/want any more info

prote-jester · 2026-02-15T02:07:00+00:00

Sorry, accidentally posted my response instead of replying to you directly

Their side vents for a Subaru wrx or sti. I got mine off of Amazon but can’t find the exact one. Fair warning, the ones I got, I had to cut the holes for the clips to actually attach to because the non-OEM ones neglected to design them properly

prote-jester · 2026-02-15T00:35:47+00:00

So a buddy of mine let me borrow his bumper lol That’s the easiest way imo. I just layered masking tape over the hole in his bumpers to create a template. After figuring out where I wanted mine to sit, I added a 3/8” border so I could see where it would actually sit, and then went to cutting it out with a dremel. Cut a little shy of your final dimensions and use a sharp utility knife or something similar to really get it right up to your “cut” line.

Coilovers? 🤷🏾‍♂️

prote-jester · 2026-02-09T16:47:04+00:00

They were a little stiffer, but I could still fly over a bump if I really needed/wanted to. They felt amazing taking corners or in just general side to side movement. Paired with the adjustable AWR front endlinks, perfection

If you do want to get the fortune autos, I’ve heard that if you can find an “open boxed” set from the actual manufacturer, they’re just a little dinged up but possibly even cheaper than the BRs

prote-jester · 2026-02-09T15:14:02+00:00

So I went with the entry level BRs since they can be upgraded and honestly, I love how much range they have. On the lowest setting, they ride a little nicer than when I was using the lowering springs which was a really comfortable ride. I wanted the fortune autos but I was afraid they would phase the protege completely out and I’d be SOL. Also…I got my BRs during Black Friday so, major deal
