Hi All I have a 2002 P5 with stock wheels. I found out today that the slow leak problem I've had is a cracked rim (pissed). As $ is tight I'm going to search CL for some used rims ( the chrome is peeling from the other rims ) mount the snows on them and get new rims and tires when the tax...

Hi I'm looking for a little feedback from some of the mechanics on the site. I just had my front (warm up?) cat replaced. They also replaced both of the O2 sensors at the same time. All parts were OEM. I've heard that aftermarket cats are often poor quality and in reading an O2 thread it seems...

Hi all Got my P5 today. So far so good. Vast improvement over the Escort it's replacing. I do have one concern. It came with summer tires Fuzion ZR 1's. I live in New England and potentially have 6 more weeks of winter. How dangerous is it to use them in sub freezing weather? I'll take a day...

Hi I just signed papers on a 2002 Protege5 and have a couple questions. One of the complaints that seems to crop up in reviews is that you feel all the little bumps and road imperfections. Would going to a higher profile tire help that. A quick check shows there are relatively few 195/16 tires...
