    Modge Podge Car Mods

    My crafty wife introduced me to his amazing stuff called Mod Podge (known as Modge Podge). This glue-like substance is also a sealer and comes in Matte, Satin, and Glossy. Modge Podge (MP) is a craft glue that can adhere and seal anything. I've seen it used to seal photos to just about any...

    Protege Projector retrofit thread

    Has anyone installed the Morimoto mini H1 Gatling 2.0 shrouds? Most everyone has the Gatling shrouds and they look good. I see the Gatling 2.0 are a bit bigger and I'm curious how they look in a P5 headlight.

    3.5 Lip with Fog lights and Fog Deletes

    So...I have the 03.5 MSP lip and MSP bumper on my P5. I want to install fog lights behind my fog delete grill and make it fit in the existing hole found in the MSP lip. Has anyone found aftermarket fogs or made your own to work with this current setup? Something like this, but with the fog...

    Failing coil pack?

    Question: Is it possible for a failing coil pack to cause a misfire on one cylinder only? My instinct tells me yes. I've had CEL codes coming on and off throughout the past few weeks. About 2 months ago I replaced my MAF and all 4 spark plugs with NGK Platinums. It had been running fine until I...

    Bad gas mileage, slow acceleration

    So I have a 2004 Mazda3 2.3L 5 speed. I rarely drive this car anymore because it sucks gas and runs bad. Here is a quick history on the issues... It all started with fueling up. After getting gas, my car would stall out. It would take a few times to crank and then it would act weird, low idle...

    WTB DG/Autoexe Grill for P5

    I'm looking for a DG Motorsports or Autoexe grill for the Protege5 as listed above. Color doesn't matter, I doubt anyone has a midnight blue metallic for sale. I have a MSP bumper that needs painting so I'll just have the grill painted at the same time. I am located in NC at zip code 27050. I...

    WTB: MAF Sensor

    Advance auto parts carries a reproduction for $178.00. Google shopping shows one for $120.00. Anyone have one on here or know a cheaper method? There is only one p5 in a junk yard near me and the whole front end is gone.

    Front License Plate Placement?

    As you can see in my Sig, I have one of the Ebay custom Japanese style license plates and it's located dead center. I drilled the plate for the JDM mounting holes located on the bumper so I didn't have to use the American plate converter and have all that plastic crap on the front. I have a MSP...

    Vintage photo of a vintage RX-7

    Hey guys, I was going through some old pictures at my parent's house when I stumbled across this photo. This was taken one day my Dad washed his 1992 RX-7 GSL. The back of this photo is dated March 1983. Unfortunately, this car is long gone. A woman ran through this car and into a video...

    How has changing your springs effected your car's handeling?

    Right now my Protege5 has stock suspension which in my opinion rides well. The car is stiff and handles corners at high speeds without tilting too much to either side. Although the springs are tight enough to hold me down through turns, I still have a smooth ride without too much vibration. I...

    My 2004 Mazda3 has been nothing but problems. How I got $500 from Mazda

    I have a white, 2004 Mazda3. This is the 4-door sedan, 5-speed, 2.3L with the BOSE/Sun roof package. My car must have been one of the first produced because It doesn't have the 2.3 logo on the doors, yet I know for a fact that this car is the 2.3L. I bought this car used in 2007 with around 73k...
