Hi everyone! I haven't posted on here in forever, but I am having issues with my car that I'm hoping someone can help. As a preface, I'm no newbie to our beloved Protege5. I have done almost all repairs and maintenance myself. 2003 Protege5, 120k miles, synthetic oil (Mobil 1 10w30 since I...

Short story: Took car in for TCM replacement and oil change/tire rotation. Got the car Wed. Wife noticed knocking sound, thought it was a nail in tire. I took car Saturday with my family to see if I could hear it, nothing until I was on my way home. Knocking very loud. Checked out the car...

Hey guys... anyone have an extra one of those metal wires that go on the brake pads? I could order a whole hardware kit from a local store for $15, but why pay that whole amount just for one little metal wire? I can pay postage or whatever... I'm sure someone has a bunch laying around. (breakn)

When I start my car after it's been sitting for a while (i.e. in the morning), I hear a squeal similar to the noise when a belt is loose, BUT, the noise does NOT get louder when I accelerate. The noise stays steady until the car is warmed up, then it goes away. It seems it might be the water...

I was wondering what the average amount a ticket would be for having a busted headlight? Anyone know the answer, or know an officer that can give me an answer? I got pulled over cause my right headlight was out and got a ticket for $115. To me, this is an insane amount of money. I live in...

WTB Laptop Hard Drive My hard drive on my Inspiron 2650 is almost shot... I need to find a new drive, preferably 20g, 30g, or 40g... but also cheap. Anyone know of a hookup where they sell them pretty cheap? PM me or send an e-mail... Coqui258@yahoo.com Thanks all.

FOR EVERYONE IN THE Philadelphia, South Jersey AREA... I bought a P5 bra from someone for $50, but I don't want it anymore. I haven't even put it on. It's not the best bra, but it isn't broken. Here's the thing... I need a stock tire badly. I have a slow leak that just went faster in leaking...

That's right, the EAGLES have defeated the Falcons 27-10!!!! WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL BABY!!!!

First, I'm not a noob... I have searched but to no avail (plus, searches are useless since most are outdated anyway) I want a new exhaust system for my P5, BUT, I want an exhaust that is better than stock AND less noisy than the MSP axleback. I don't care much about the noise, I want...

Hey everyone... While driving to my dad's house today, I noticed that the car was acting funny like if I had the E-brake on, but I didn't. Everytime I came to a small hill, instead of rolling, it just stood there. Well, I decide to go home so when driving back, I notice a slight squel when I got...

Guess what?!?!?! I went bowling on Monday night (6-7-04), and since I go there all the time, I always get the same lane. Well, I called the chick to reserve it, and she told me that my lane was taken, but that she'll give me lane 19-20, so I'm like "cool". Well, we get there, and she tells us...

I know this has been discussed, forgive me... just wondering though, I have 16.5K on my P5 (no autox's, no real races) and my front left brake is down to about a few mm of pad. The only thing done before was the rotors being shaved at around 8k. I do stop fast sometimes, but not enough to wear...

Hey everyone... quick question. My friend needed a car, so he found a 2000 VW Passat, but he didn't have enough credit to apply. He asked me to co-sign just until his loan clears so he can take me off, so I agreed and went in today to sign. I'm aware that if he doesn't pay they come after me...

I'll let the picture speak on it's own... what can I do?

It's been pretty quiet in here since the update... what gives? Before I was able to go to the for sale section and read about 3 pages of new posts even though I looked at it the day before! Now it's like 2 or 3 new posts in 24 hours. What's going on? Did everyone run away? (uhm) (lurk)

So ok... last year this was the big topic of discussion on this forum about grounding wires. (now it's about headers, etc...) So anyway, I just wanted to throw this out there to you guys and gals. Do you still think that the grounding wires are doing any good performance wise? Sorry to awaken an...

UPDATE ON DEALER VISIT ON 2-10-04: Took my car in, and Paul was the guy who took my car. He sounded cool.... but when I started my explanation why I was there, you can tell he wasn't trying to help much. The first thing I said was that the clutch felt like it doesn't engage right, and he...

I'm terribly sorry if this is a repost... What is the different between the Mazdaspeed exhaust compared to the P5 sport exhaust they sell at dealers? The only difference I see is that the MS is oval shaped and needs to be cut, and the sport is round and fits fine. Any comments?

Can someone use this thread to give info about this club? I still don't know what it is.... thanks!

Ok, so a few months back I was REALLY upset from the fact that I'm not over 25 so I wouldn't be able to get a loaner car from Mazda if and when I take my car in for service. My question is: If I have my own insurance, would they honor that and give me the car? From what I understand, the reason...
