Well after owning my brand new Protege5 for 5 yrs, including numerous mods and 5 yrs of lapping days she's gone. Due to some a$$hole who decided that he had to make that left hand turn RIGHT NOW. He did not see me coming from his left and proceeded to block 2 lanes of traffic in 1/4 sec even...

To the US members. What is the part number for the rear raised plastic trunk liner to accomodate the spare tire sub. And for that matter, does this also cover the spare tire wheel well.

Even though Shannonville is as flat as a pancake, the Pro-Track configuration is my favourite b/c of it's high speed turns. Here's me going for a little cruise with a cameraman in the rear middle seat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZmHvlVKgjE

Did a search here and couldn't find the answer. Also googled it too. Does anyone have a FRONT camber kit for the Illumina's that adjusts more negative than stock say about -2.00 deg or more? I need it for track days and to preserve my tires.

If you've ever changed your brake pads, you might notice a rip or tear in the dust piston seal like the picture below.

Everyone knows the stock horn sucks. I decided to do something about it and bought a replacement one. The first thing to do is to remove the grill and a good place to check out is: http://www.smokinmhz.net/mazda/grill I'll just give some modified tips to speed up the removal. The biggest...

Did a lapping day on Saturday at Shannonville: Never been on this track configuration, but I've done the outer "Pro Track" perimeter once and a lot of the upper portion "Fabi Track". Great day. - Managed to stay with I believe a stock RX-8. - Managed to pull within 2 car lengths of a...

The kit number is : 0000-8M-C15 from http://www.mazdastuff.com/product.cfm?ProductID=986 I've done a search and turned up a lot of good info. I would like to know how this is holding up on your P5 esp. if you autox, lap or race the car. Have you had any issues such as the squeak, something...

Is there any benefit to changing spark plugs more often than the Canadian recommended 48,000 km? I do most of my own maintenance but I have to admit that I do fail to check the plugs at every oil change [5,000 km]. The car is NOT running rough or anything. In fact it's running very, very...

If your car had to be emissions tested, did it pass with mods? I think that this will be a very informative topic. Please post your mods and whether you failed or passed. And a country/state/province would be nice too. Thanks!

Here's the scenario. I had to unhook my battery to install a new HU. As you know the battery backup alarm automatically sounds off if the main power is disconnected so I disable the backup with the supplied key. I disconnected the Pos+ terminal. The power was disconnected for 2 days. After...

I was talking to a co-worker. Turns out that she's never rotated her tires on her Alero in 50,000+ km of driving. She figures b/c it's a lease that she doesn't care and that she'll pass it off to the dealer. I said that b/c her car has about 60% of the weight is sitting on the front tires...

I did a mini search and came across this: . I am interested in a set of Volk TE-37 rims. 16x7, 114.3mm bolt diameter. The offset is +42. I plan on using these with a future upgrade to H&R springs [1.3" drop all around] with Tokico Blues. These are intended for track lapping days but...

I went a little off track today. I tried to get back onto the track through one of those curbs. It was a left hand curb and I was trying to enter directly through the middle of it. The speed was maybe 30 kph. But it was enough. Enough to blow my left front tire! (fu) Apparently the...

I did a search for MP3 Spring compatibility on a P5. It will fit, stiffen up the ride a bit and give a very mild drop of 0.5 to 1". Exactly what I need. I want to know who has the MP3 Springs on their P5 w/ stock shocks for over a year. What's the ride like? Any problems? Car is a '03...

Is there a way to have the seatbelts on really tight with the stock seats? Either through some modification or add on? I'm sliding around a bit too much at the track. I realize that I could buy a racing seat with a 4, 5 or 6 point harness. I don't go to the track that much and I can only...
