    Looking for a FS-DE to drop in

    I blew the engine last summer with 245k on it and I'm now going to put in a new engine. Bought a 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T last December and had it for all of 3 months before some non-driver pulled out and ditched me. So I'm now going to get the old P5 going again, never done a engine swap but...

    244k miles and done

    Last year one of my buddies was moving to Hawaii and needed to get rid of his 03 P5 so I found myself buying it last Apri. It had 240k on the clock but the motor had been replaced @200k with one with 160k. It ran great, no problems until July it developed the death tick when at around 1/8...

    Engine swap, what else should I do...

    I have a 2003 Protege5 that I got for not a whole lot in the spring. About a couple months ago I got a little knock going from oil starvation. Only with a little bit of throttle at any speed or at above 3500rpm can hear it. Very distinct Rod knock noise. I'm looking to do a swap with it, just...

    Thanks for the response, I'll test it this weekend, I got a new alternator and belt because I figured that was it, hopefully I'll have time to throw it on this weekend.

    Battery drain 4A draw with nothing on...

    So I recently got a new battery, the old one was toast, wouldn't hold a charge. I went and got a new Duralast Gold, working fine for a over a month. Mysteriously, after work I came out and it was dead, jumped it and got home, only a mile away. Charged the battery back up to full, no problems...

    Wtb headlight for 2003 protege5 ALUMINUM BEZEL, no amber or a Depo

    LOL, yikes, I'm just wanting to get it back into shape, it's got 239k on the clock and I only paid $1500 for it, can't see spending 1/3 of the cost of the car on new headlights. Thanks but I'm looking for something sub-$100. I'm having a hard time finding any headlight other than the amber...

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    Put in a new downstream O2 Sensor, got rid of that nasty CEL and running noticeably stronger. Course it's NEVER had the o2 sensor out so it was stuck in hard, took the heat shield off, or tried, ended up breaking off 2 of the 3 bolts, so now needing to tap and get a new shield. The pipe looks...

    I just got a 2003 P5 from a friend that was moving(to hawaii, lucky dog) and needed to get rid of his ride, so I bought it from him. Not my first Mazda, my very first car when I was 16 was a 86' 626 5sp. This P5 is in really good shape for having over 200k on the clock. Just needs a few...
