    Engine start issues.

    So I have a bit of a mystery on my hands. Edit: The TL;DR read is, replaced the starter and the battery, no power to the starter. funky things happen with the electrics when the car is off but in the on position and I'm on the brakes or taking off the E-brake. I go to start up the P5. I...

    Time to put the P5 down... to 3 Skyactiv or not 3 skyactiv... that is the questions

    Well After 185k My starter motor is starting to go, just after I replaced the clutch and control arms. I've officially declared it a money pit and now am shopping. I'm paying cash and looking at topping out 29.5k CAD including taxes. I figure I can get at least something for the P5 as a...

    What do you crank up after a P5?

    My next car will be a Subaru Impreza or a 1st gen Mazda6, I think the new ones are fugly, however the 08's are already getting a bit old. I had the misfortune of having a buddy pry himself away from his WRX to let me have a go... I was sold after 2 minutes on a back road. The price is a...

    Air induction hose fix

    Well this is a problem and a fix type tale. I just wanted to throw this out there because I had to do a lot of digging to find the info! My P5 just hit the 162000km mark and I started to get really weird, read jerky, throttle response at very specific revs. 1st at about 2-3k 2nd at 2.5k to...

    Replacement Headlight Bulbs

    The H7's fit. They can be a pain to get the wire hooked back up, it took me 15 minutes of cursing to get it back on there, but they certainly do.

    Protege5 - How many miles have you gone before changing the timing belt?

    Changed mine out a couple weeks ago 156000 km's I still feel bad about paying almost 1/5th the cost of the car for a belt and pump change.

    Would 195/65/15 tires fit?

    I've got 195/65's for my winters too, they fill up the wheel arches really well but they'll fit!

    Looking for 14in 5 bolt rims!

    Hey, I've been attempting to find 14in rims for my P5, for some winters I bought. The owners manual shows that the size is correct. (185/65R14) ... ... but I'm finding it almost impossible to find 14in 5 bolt pattern rims. (argh) I was looking last fall for some, but I couldn't find anything...

    Help canadian P5 owners

    I went to My local mazda dealer (Timmins Mazda) last fall and had one installed for $150 Parts and labour. It started leaking coolant/antifreeze a month ago and I took it in and it was repaired for free. It just needed to be tightened. You can definitely get one installed. I run mobil 1...
