Not yet, but since I actually got a reply to this I'll crawl under the old girl and get some pictures of the current condition! I just didn't want to bother removing the catback unless there was at least some sort of interest :) And like I said, the car has been parked for 8 years, and the...

I'm located in Hamilton Ontario if anyone is interested in a nice stainless steel exhaust for their Protege 5 (only fits the hatchback). I'm planning on scrapping the car, but it's currently complete, so I figured I'd see if the exhaust or any other parts are actually worth anything :) The...

Yeah the DBW throttle has an issue with 'rev hang' which is a real pita. Like you said, it forces you to wait a few seconds to change gear after clutching, otherwise the revs stay up and the car jerks forward when you let the clutch out. Luckily there's an ECU programming tool called FlashPro...

Well here are my P5 rims. The P5 itself has been up on blocks since I blew the motor last fall...

I used to run my lights day and night, and was changing them about every six months. Now I just turn them on at night ;)

I just took my 2002 P5 in for service, and it looks like I also need a a new rear caliper. I'm having the same 'siezing' problem that seems to have affected a number of other people... Does anyone of a source for calipers for a good price? The garage says they're $160/each, and the dealer...

When I pulled out my jack to put the summers back on I had to scrape rust of it before it would crank... I also have bubbling/peeling paint on the lips of both back wheel wells, and some on the both corners of the hatch. Mine is a 2002 that's been stored outside in Toronto for most of it's...

My little brother just got an awesome new job, so I sent him a link to the thread. And he thought his ride was faster than mine before (boom07)

How did you burn out your clutch going up an incline in second gear??

It's the rubber, put 40 series on there and you'll be fine. Looking good!!

I'm pretty sure all of those pics are of the computer model, none of them look like photos....

I managed to find some listed there... http://www.tirerack.com/snow/SnowWheelSearchResults.jsp?sortSize=15&snowSortCode=19434&show=threeWheels&autoYear=2003&autoMake=Mazda&autoModel=MazdaSpeed%20Protege&autoModClar= edit: hold on, there's only tires listed there sorry. That's weird, no...

I suggested Sangria, you can get gallons of red wine cheap!

Agreed. I think that might even be against the law up here in Canada ;) And if there's some girls around and it's a nice day, sangria usually goes over well! http://wine.about.com/library/types/bl_sangria.htm

I agree. Nice Wheels, exhaust a bit big for my tastes.
