I wonder if the Lloyds are the best? My originals are now totally smooth on the bottom because they never grabbed the carpet properly.

I dropped the clip and screw in the assembly when changing the driver's side low beam bulb today. Will the bulb be in proper alignment and be secure without them? I hope I am not in the same position as JustJake. I wonder if I park on a steep hill, maybe the clip and screw slide down to the back...

I have been using the Nighthawk the last 5 years. Is there something better. I am not looking to do a mod that will add cost and/or work.

It was the switch. The switch was not down, but pressing it down and again to get it back up restore it.

They quit on a hot day. I checked the fuse box but do not know which one it is?

Thanks Metallic for the reply, in contrast to the first. I came to the same conclusions to help these problems.

1. Hot spot above the engine causes paint damage. ( Should have extra insulation to prevent this) 2. Bolt goes through floor pan and pushes through carpet, causing a hole. (This is almost a foot behind the gas pedal.) 3. Mats do not stay in place. Although this is common, even the postioning...

What are the rims made of and what is the finish?

On all three of my carburetor cars, you instantly feel the lower restriction and the associated performance gain. But on my P5 its too small to notice. Wonder why?

I have had my Protege 5 for 15,000 kilometres and just checked the filter. There is only one streak of dirt on it. In two decades of driving ,my paper filters are always loaded up after 15,000 kilos. I know the K&N do not work as well as the paper, and not maintaining the oil film on the K&N...

Yes they are Mazda mats. No point in looking for after market mats with the same hole (if there are any) if they do not stay put.

I have the peg but the mat still slides all over because the peg is too small for the size of hole in the mat. Even if the peg worked, the mat will still swing aroung because the mat has little grip on the carpet.

What is the best product to clean and protect the rim?

I guess that cat back is black and not white! GM, the Racing Beat system is pretty nice. I may consider it when mine rusts out, which will be in a long time where I live. I am not willing to spend that kind of money right now. I am willing to do suspension upgrades though, as the gains are...

I like the looks of the Borla tip. I am not going for performance as the gains are too small. I do not mind some of the stuff for sale here but it will be expensive to ship up to Canada. I may watch for something I can pick up. (Long wait probably) Is there any upgrade cat back or axle back...
