    Now THAT'S a nice rack!

    This was shot a few years ago somewhere along the Oregon coast. For those that are interested, my Protege5 is the happy host of a custom-installed Yakima roof rack. It includes the following: - Yakima 54" tracks (permanently mounted - no factory rack in Canada!) - Yakima Control Towers - Yakima...

    Kayak on Protege5

    Reliable Mazda service in AB?

    Need to have someone look into my dramatically declining fuel economy. I have checked all the likely culprits, even replaced parts that I probably didn't have to ... tire pressure is good, air filter is good, oil change at every 5K, tire rotation at every 10K, EGR cleaned, spark plugs replaced...

    BIZARRE electrical issue ...

    Pardon the double-post, I have also posted this in the general Protege5 section, but felt that there may be a knowledgable electrical "expert" here that may be able to help out as well ... I realize it not 'electronic' but definitely electrical ... Anyway, here you go! Thanks for reading this...

    BIZARRE electrical issue ...

    Not sure where to start on this one ... vital stats might be good - 2002 Protege5. I climbed into my car after a LONG day at work ... turn the key, engine starts ... but what is that? My high-beam indicator is on. But my lights aren't switched on . Something is odd here ... Here is the...

    Strange 'Rattle-CLUNK"

    My 2002 Protege5 seems to have developed a concerning "rattle-CLUNK" noise near the front driver's side. It only seems to happen under acceleration on uneven surfaces. Only noticable at low speeds, but the road-noise may just be covering it up at higher speeds. Has anyone heard of this? Am I...

    Reduced fuel economy ...

    I have recently noticed that my fuel economy has dropped significantly. I drive a manual 2002 Protege5 and am approaching 100,00km (60,000 miles?) and was getting almost 650km/tank until 2-3 months ago ... now I am only getting about 450! That's a drop of nearly 1/3! I have checked the obvious...

    WTB: Stock Protege5 Bumper Cover

    WTB: Stock Protege5 REAR Bumper Cover Posted in the WTB section as well, but hoping someone might have one locally. Colour is not important - surface scratches OK. Bumper is going to be painted anyway. PM me if you are interested, or know of one at a scrap yard. -=D

    Alarm install - Driver Priority Unlock

    Car = '02 Protege5 Install is complete, but having door-lock issues. I realize that it is a single-wire (-) lock/unlock. But how do I wire in the Driver's door priority unlock (so that it will unlock the driver on one push, and the rest on two pushes)? The alarm has 2 unlock wires ... do I need...

    Alarm Install querie.

    Working on installing a new Starter/Alarm, and it includes a wire which I cannot figure out. The manual refers to it as the "30A Starter Disable Relay" wire, but does not indicate what it does, or where it goes. It's a pretty heavy (10-12g) and brown. That's all that I really know about it...

    Fog light - idiot light?

    Does the Protege5 come equipped with a fog light indicator in the instrument cluster? I have always found it odd that my '02 Protege5 does not give me any visual indication that the fogs are on/off. Is my lamp not functioning, or is there nothing there? If there is nothing, can it be added? -=D

    Pic request ...

    Looking for an image of the Yellow Protege5 that has the wide white and black stripes that cover the hood and roof. Pretty sure that it is a demo car for someone. I have searched and have come up empty-handed ... I know that it is on here somewhere! Anyone? -=D

    How difficult is it?

    How difficult is it to install starter/alarm? I am looking into personally installing an aftermarket starter/alarm and just wondering how difficult this generally is in a manual transmission Protege5. I know that it is a heck of a lot of wires to run, and maybe even the odd relay to wire up -...

    Picture of "Rally Style" Protege5?

    I came across an image a while back of a Protege5 with what would be best described as "Rally" style side graphics. I seem to remember the car being white (maybe silver) with primarily blue graphics (could be wrong). I do remember the number "3" being on the driver's door as part of the graphics...

    Mazda in the Mountains 2004?

    Long time lurker - first time poster ... I was not able to make it down to the "Mazda in the Mountains 2003" last summer, and am wondering if anyone is hosting such an event this year. My car is not exactly "show worthy" but it would be nice to make it out to an event and be a part of the...
