Thanks. Just wanted to know the easiest way to do it. It's not like I asked HOW to remove the strut brace.

Just like it says: Can you remove the Protege5 battery without pulling the strut brace? If so, do you then have to remove the air box? What's the quickest way to get the battery out of there. Thanks, Eric

Just thought I'd let you know....if you come across a pair of headlights, I'm looking for the driver's side. Also, since you're saying "if you're close to me," you might want to specify where you are.

I'm looking for a scrap yard that would have some Proteges or Protege5s in the Ann Arbor/Metro Detroit area. Everywhere I've called said they don't have Mazdas. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Looking for both a fog light and driver's side headlight for a 2003 Protege5. I'll consider buying a pair if necessary. Please PM me with your asking price. Thanks

Does anyone know where I can find a PDF of the service manual for an '03 Protege5? I know the '02 is out there in several places, but I need it for the auto trans selector, which is vastly different between '02 and '03.

There is pretty much zero clearance between my new pads and new rotor when I back the piston off as much as possible. After resetting the piston (backing it off 1/3 of a turn), pumping the brake pedal (with engine on) and then trying to rotate the hub/rotor by hand, there is a decent amount of...

The premise of the story is cars that beat a "big gun" in the same category for several thousands (or tens of thousands) less. MS3 beats the R32 to 60 mph and through the quarter mile for $10,540 less. Other cars in the feature are Porsche 911 Turbo v. Nissan GT-R, Ferrari F430 v. Corvette...

Where are these caliper sliders?

I need a new set of rear tires, so I took them into Belle Tire, asked them to replace them with the same thing (Yokohama Avid H4S) and asked them to match the TireRack.com price. They say ok, and tell me to wait a few days to get the tires in stock. I picked up the car yesterday and then...

Looking for a P5 fog light to replace mine that is cracked and filled with water/ice. PM if you've got something!

A) Friction = VehicleMass x FrictionCoefficient This formula is written different than you'd find in a physics book, but it's basically correct. In reality downforce, lift or bumps would cause the friction value to be constantly changing. The friction coefficient is an obscure number between...

Here's the deal. My 2003.5 Protege5 with the sport automatic transmission does not recongnize when the gear selector is park. The red box on the instrument panel lights up around M, D, N and R when in the appropriate gear, but disappears when you shift to park. When you go to start the car, you...

You missed two!

George Bush and MTV Europe hate black people. But just certain ones.

Don't worry about the pics. I'm putting it on Saturday. I guess we'll find out if it works.

A pic might be cool... My concern is that, on a hatchback, the upper straps definitely carry a majority of the wait. It's not like a trunk where the upper half of the rack is content with the force of gravity pushing it against the decklid. Without the straps, the rack would simply slide...

bump. No one's used a hatch bike rack?

It will be two or three road bikes. I'll prolly pick the lightest for the back. Anyone else wanna weigh in?

I know the bike rack question has been played out 6.23 billion times, but a search yielded no answers. The question: Can you use a hatch bike rack on the back of the Protege5? I'm concerned that the straps over the top of the hatch (supporting most of the weight) might crush my spoiler. Is...
