    Spray Paint Color Matching White 2002 P5 (A3D color code)

    So, I am finally getting around to fixing the rust that I mentioned in a post a little while back, but now it is an actual issue... My plan is to take a wire wheel, wire brush, and some sand paper to the rust spots that are developing then fill in any holes with a body filler of some kind then...

    6.5's will fit just fine, i have some in the back of mine running on the stock screw holes and everything. 5.25's you might have to get an adapter for

    Installing a sub/amp in my MSP

    thats a lot heftier than i was thinking but still 10 gauge scares me, im running 10 gauge as speaker wire on a short run from my amp to my subs (granted im pushing 1000rms to them) but still, 10 gauge for power wire is a bit on the small side. as long as you check amperage rating charts and...

    BIG 3 UPGRADE/Oddyssey Battery

    at 500 watts you should not need a high output alt yet (and yeah i read the same thing which makes me sad, also read that you can't do dual alternators unless you completely isolate the second one for a second accessory battery only). also +1 on the using welding cable. you'll save yourself...

    Installing a sub/amp in my MSP

    no, no very no! the crap spare tire sub pushes like 100 watts peak ILS (if lightning strikes) if you plan on putting an amplifier of any decency in, the garbage wiring for the OEM sub is not going to handle the power you are pulling. in fact, no wiring in your car is large enough to pull any...

    OEM nose mask?

    Not to be THAT GUY but as far as I am concerned car bras are pointless. first off, they look ugly as sin. Second, dirt and dust and rocks and crap and water get stuck under there and then all that grossness rubs around and flaps in the wind over the front of your car, so now your "protective...

    Antenna wire severed - need help!!!

    my radio reception kind of blows in this car in comparison to my previous vehicles and im using a pretty nice HU. I used a similar one (cda-9886) in my previous car and then put the 9886 in this car till it got stolen and i think the reception was better in my old car even with the same unit. so...

    Mazda Protege 5 Rear Strut Tower Bar

    not sure if you have seen a spec GT bar installed but it looks like the mx-6 bar still has the bolts accessible outside the plastic panel based on that pic. Would it be easy enough to get to the bolts, maybe put wing nuts on it? in all reality I dont know that i'd ever even undo it. I'v got...

    Mazda Protege 5 Rear Strut Tower Bar

    I have searched and searched but i cannot for the life of me find the old thread where someone had made or modified a rear strut tower bar to have a quick release. basically there was a quick release (same kind of idea as the tires on a mountain bike) so you can pull the bar out and take full...
