    Rear Engine Mount Replacement Guide?

    I found another thread that mentioned the second nut holding the wire tray. Wow, that was hard to find but not that bad to remove the nut and get access to the 3 bolts. however, the stud blocks access to one of the engine mount bolts. Tomorrow, I’ll be cutting that off!

    6speed swap?

    Does anyone know if Mazda makes a 6speed manual tranny that can be swapped into a manual P5 without too much trouble?? I spend a lot of time commuting on the highway and I think one more (higher) gear would significantly improve fuel economy and decrease wear. thanks Jeff B

    How-To: Projector/HID Retrofit Into Protege Headlights

    I am not sure if this how-to is for replacing ONLY the low beam, or if it describing replacing BOTH the low and hi-beams with HID lamps. Some of the photos seem to show the hi-beams still stock, but the final product seems to show only the HID lamp with the turn-signal. Can you please clear that...
