    Coilover settings and other questions

    So, I was adjusting the rear shock settings on my Yellowspeeds today, and was wondering what everyone else was running. Those of you that have the Yellowspeed coilovers, (got mine from CR3, thanks!) what shock setting you guys have and how is the ride quality? It's supposed to be 32-way...

    Tires

    I'm purchasing a set of wheels, 16x8, but I'm not sure what the best tire setup would be; I've only experimented with a couple tire sizes for the stock wheels and for 17's. The plan is to have them slightly stretched, probably with some negative camber to keep them from rubbing on the fenders...

    Fog lights

    I just installed a MSP lip and only afterwards realized the original P5 fog lights don't fit in the new opening. I've looked at a few fog lights, but I was just wondering what other people were using. Wanted to know if anyone has a favorite brand, model, etc, or if there's any I should stay away...

    Msp lip help

    I just bought a MSP lip for my P5 but like most things used, it didn't come with all the hardware. What I need to know is the size of the collar nuts (flange nuts) that go on the bolts around where the fog lights would mount. Installation instructions from Mazda say there should be 4 provided...

    Familia vs P5

    I've been searching for suspension parts for the P5 and I came across a website for JDM parts. The parts are listed as compatible for the Familia S wagon BJ5W/BJ8W/BJFW. My question is, are these models similar enough to the Protege5, in terms of suspension/chassis, that the parts would be...

    Overheating

    Busted the radiator today. Small leak, plugged it with stop leak, but it's still overheating. My guess is the thermostat broke? Getting a metallic rattling sound as well, not sure where from, more apparent during acceleration. Thoughts?

    Exhaust build

    I want to do my exhaust next year so I checked with a few local shops about getting a custom setup. In the end I've decided to stick with the Racingbeat cat-back. However, the shop guys told me I couldn't put a header on because of 1) the location of the first cat coming right off the header...

    Lighting question..

    Recently I've been looking to do some interior mods, and just bought a set of 505's gauge rings (still being shipped). This got me thinking about doing something to the look of the gauges. I've seen overlays, gauge face replacements, diy projects, and even found a company that does custom faces...

    02 Mazda P5 "Bumblebee"

    02 Mazda P5 "Bumblebee" First things first, don't get on my case for the name, someone else called it that. Lol So, I've had my P5 for about 3 years now, have been active on the forums for about a year and a half, and still have almost nothing done to the car. XD Against my better...

    YellowSpeed coilovers...

    So I just recently bought a set of Yellowspeed coilovers for my 02 P5, and I had a friend ask me if I bought camber arms to go with them. So I'm wondering, will I need them? I currently have the stock suspension setup, nothing done yet. Has anyone needed to buy camber arms/links with their...

    Sway bars

    I'm looking to replace the sway bars on my 02 P5 but so far I've only been able to come across one option, a set (front and rear) made by Progress. Haven't heard of them before so I was wondering if they're any good. If anyone knows of different products, I'm all ears. Also getting OEM...

    Painting the Wheels

    I have 4 PR5 OEM wheels, 3 that have the chrome look (not sure if its actual chrome or just polished aluminum) and 1 that is white. I want to paint them so they're all one color; I know I can paint over the white but is it possible to paint over the chrome-finished ones? If so, what's the...
