This just got easier... Just making sure everyones seen that a company is making these 18mm spacer adapters now. No need to drill out non-foulers anymore. I read through many reviews of this working on many makes and models. Auto Dynasty - Universal O2 Sensor Spacer Adapter Isolator Extender...

Thanks for the tip, Brian. You have yours on a P5? Fit alright?

I found a set of 17" MX-5 wheels w/ Michelins on Craigslist for $700: http://nashville.craigslist.org/pts/3342712498.html OEM: 195/50-16 on 16x6 wheels w/ +50 offset NEW: 205/45-17 on 17x7 wheels w/ +55 offset Just looking at fit here. I've seen one other other P5 on here with these same rims...

Thanks for posting this with all the photos and in-depth walk through. I'll be doing this tomorrow!

Once I figured out which way the lock spins I did just as you said and POP it came free. It looks like there is a plastic layer over the center metal part that had risen up, pressed it back down with a pliers and the door works good as new! I wouldn't be surprised if it happens again in the...

In the process of moving, I packed my '02 Protege5 full of all my stuff and then closed the hatch door. I forgot one last thing to put in and go to open the hatch door and it won't open. The panel may have slammed up against some boxes but nothing was too far back. I locked/unlocked it a few...
