I've recently run into a few odd electrical issues in my '12 Mazda 3, not sure if anyone else has seen these problems with their cars or not... 1. Headlights are flashing/pulsing when I brake. I put in a new battery because the OEM wasn't up to the task of reliable starting in the brutally cold...

Traded in my 2005 WRX wagon for a 2012 3 Hatch iTouring with the 6MT... Taking delivery on Monday. Can't wait, since the WRX was bleeding me dry with the price of gas the way it is and only 22 MPG... Fell in love with it after the test drive, it was far better than the Focus, Cruze, and Prius I...

Pretty simple... I have the Hella Supertones (003399801) that I pulled from my Protege5, I wanted to install them on the WRX, but honestly, the stock horn is just fine. Anyway, these aren't the Made In Germany ones, they're made in India, but they're still ear piercingly loud at 118 db. They get...

Deleted the sold items out of here... Dropped the price on the winter wheels/tires. These need to go! 8/24/10... Drastic price drop... I need these gone! Local pickup is $225, shipped, $250 + shipping. (Sorry, gotta ask more for my time to box 'em up etc...) Dunlop Graspic DS-2 195/55/15 on 5...

Well, I've been mulling over trading in the Protege5 for a Subaru, and I've done it. Working on the final details of the deal, but if everything works out, I'll be driving a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX wagon on Monday. This has been a great community and I'm going to miss it, even though I haven't...

I finally got a set of new wheels and tires for my 03 P5. I had a shop mount and balance them for me, but they didn't install them. I installed them this evening and now it seems that when I hit about 55-60 MPH the car starts to vibrate. I double checked all the tires and they mounted them...

I found a great deal on some tires locally, so I picked them up. They're 215/40/17. I'm looking at getting a set of Konig Illusions, they're 17x7, with an offset of 40. Will these fit my stock P5 without rubbing?

I'm thinking of buying and installing a remote starter in my 2003 P5 w/ Auto tranny. Car is equipped already with remote locks / panic button. I was wondering how difficult it is to install and if I should get just a starter kit or if I should spend some more and get the whole shebang (remote...

I'm tired of the girly little horn on my P5. I'm thinking of upgrading to Hella Supertones, and I'm wondering how difficult it is to wire them up, as from what I can tell the factory horn is one piece, not two like the Supertones. Looks like removing the grille might be the hardest part...

I bought a set of SLS mounts, I did get the front mount installed properly, but I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to do the passenger side one. Do I install the bracket and first, then try to line everything up and bolt it together, or do I put it together and then place it on the...

So, I was working on my P5 this weekend and I noticed that the radiator overflow bottle's plastic mounting bracket is in pretty bad shape... Tried fixing it myself, but it didn't make it any better. So, if anyone has one lying around, I'd like to take it off your hands. Let me know your price...

So, I was trying to install a new rear motor mount, and in the process I removed the throttle body. When I reinstalled I went back and reattached all the sensors and vacuum lines as well as the throttle cable. When I start the car, it starts up, the RPMs go to 2k, then fall and the car dies. If...

I can't remember seeing anything in the owner's manual about replacing the transmission fluid. I have a 03 with the "sport shift" auto, and I'm unsure as to when/if the tranny fluid has ever been changed. So... That being said, is it better for me to just jack the car up, unbolt the tranny pan...

I'm looking to upgrade my car audio setup a little bit and the first component I want to upgrade is my headunit. My Pioneer Premier DEH-P770MP is now up for sale. I have also included the Pioneer CD-IBII iPod interface, which will allow you to connect your iPod so you don't have to shuffle...

I have my stock fog lights up for sale. Just the lights, no brackets, no harness, no fog switch. One is cracked, but it works just fine. Would be a good spare set or whatever. Asking $50 + shipping or make a realistic offer. One is in pristine shape and they do fetch pretty decent prices from...

How would one know that one (or multiple) motor mounts are bad? I have a suspicion that at least one has failed, as when I idle in gear there are some odd vibrations which to me would seem like it's a motor mount. What would be the best route to go in replacing the bad mount(s)? I'd like to fix...

I'm done with these wheels. I bought them from a guy on CL and had one repaired, which had a bent lip. Took the others into the shop to have them balanced, turns out another one is bent too... I don't have the patience to deal with this anymore and I need new tires on my car ASAP. Two are...

Well, I'm trying to chase down a phantom vibration in the front end. There's a very noticeable pulsation / vibration at low speed. The vibration seems to get less noticeable at highway speed, but the pulsing noise gets faster. I've tried swapping both the stock wheels (195/50/16) and my just...

I snapped a wheel stud off... Some how the lug nut was on WAAAY to tight. What can I do to fix it?
