So, curiosity kills. Does anyone have a rattle at 2200-2900 or so RPM with engine cold under load? It's quiet up to 2000 rpm then, hear a rattle and then quiets at about 2900. After warming for 5 minutes the temp needle sits past 1/4 and it doesn't happen when hot. Purs like a kitten (even...

Well, because other people don't know how to slow down in snow and drive carefully, my p5 has a few bruises. And now I have to fix their screw up. I know I need these parts (probably more): Rear bumper cover (P5) rear left tail light (P5) ** need first Rear bumper support Rear left quarter...

Hey all, Just seeing if there is any interest in people using scan-guages or UG for their P5's. If anyone is using one, which one do you use and the pros/cons of it would be greatly appreciated. Ultra-guage - 70$ scan guage E - 100$ Thanks ahead of time!

Hello fellow P5'ers. Well while the beast is down for an engine overhaul I feel like I need to do a few other small 'mods', more like conveniences.. I have sourced LED's for the dome, map and rear lights which are in the mail. However, I am constantly driving at night and like having a...

Hey mazda community, I have an '02 protege5 with ~141k miles. It is the 4 speed auto. Past few days I've noticed it running a bit rougher, a little more vibrations than usual with these cars. Mounts are all good - replaced all but the left tranny mount spring 2012. Engine at idle sounds clean...

http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=227 Looking at setting an HID kit into my P5. I absolutely love the cutoff and look of projectors and I don't want to be one of those A**holes with blaring HID's. Any tips? I'm looking to do Bi-xenon, I don't like not...

Hey everyone, Nevermind, that's this was probably the dumbest thing I've asked. If I wanted to stay with stock reflectors, couldn't I just adjust the headlight lower than stock and not blind people

Hey everyone, So a couple weeks have gone by since I got my P5. I'm starting to rethink the very low profile tires. He's got Kumho asx 205/40-17s on konig crosshairs 17X8. Looking at the wheel well and rims compared to the tires. The tires just seem too small especially height wise. It's...

Hey everyone, I did started another thread, but I figured I should introduce myself here. My name's Martin. I was born and live in Raleigh NC for all 19 years of my life so far. I started my search for a car starting in July, I guess. I had my heart set on a Mazda3 hatch, but soon realized...

First P5 and I'm loving it... love it with me? haha I've never been so excited in my life! This will be my first car that I purchase on my own. I've been driving my Dad's old 1989 nissan d21 for about 3 years now 343K and counting on the odo... things built like an ox. But it's finally time...

Calling all Protege5 gurus! I'm looking at buying my first real car (college student) and I've always enjoyed the style and space that a hatchback offered. I like MS3 but I can't currently afford one. So, I found a 2003 Protege5 with 109K on the odo. Silver in color, automatic (disappointing...
