    Aftermarket Bumper/Lip?

    I saw this video and there's a silver P5 that had a front bumper I absolutely love and want to find and buy. This is it; if anyone can tell me what it is or where to get one I'd appreciate it forever. Sent from my ASUS_Z00TD using Tapatalk

    Fender Flares

    I'm sure this topic has come up, but I've started thinking about doing flares on my P5. I know that I'd have to modify universals to fit the rear, was just looking for some information and or guidance. Thanks. Sent from my ASUS_Z00TD using Tapatalk

    Reverse lockout trouble

    I have a 2002 with a trans from a 626. Loving the taller gears and the better mileage, however it's developed a simple but annoying problem. Whenever I'm trying to downshift from 5th to 4th the thing wants to slide back into Reverse. Obviously that's a problem and I'm getting sick of hearing a...

    Exhaust manifold studs

    I have a header on the way and I want to get new hardware for it since stock is garbage. I wanted something with corrosion resistance. I'm looking at getting a set of APR-400-8013 studs, but that's only four and I don't know what else I'll need. Would two sets of those work? I know there's only...

    AWD Pro5?!?

    I know that in Japan Mazda made a 4wd version of our cars called the Sport20 Familia. Do you think it's possible to retrofit the 4wd system into our cars without fabrication, or would I have to suck it up and try to import one lol... I just think it'd be awesome to have a legit 4wd pro5...

    Aftermarket ECU - Standalones?

    I'm just trying to wrap my head around project plans and get some stuff laid out just in case I decide to spring on my temptation and build my car... So, since I plan on going boosted, and the stock ECU is kinda, well, non-adjustable, would it be worth replacing it. I looked at the AEM EMS-4...

    Mazdaspeed Bumper

    Hey, I'm doing some research on repairs, both cosmetic and mechanical. My current bumper is scratched to hell, chipped, and just worn out... I really like the look of the Mazdaspeed bumper. I was wondering if there was anywhere selling them (new). Also, I want to have fog lights, so I'm looking...

    Idle Issue

    Hey guys, I know this subject has probably been discussed to death but I need a little help. So, my car has had a minor idle issue for a little while now. I haven't really had a chance to check it out, however it's starting to get worse. It's only when my car is at a stop. The idle speed is...

    So I finally got the car back from the shop. The new transmission feels fantastic, and the RPMs are gonna be good to squeeze out those MPGs (it's from a '97 626) Super happy about it

    Shifter Rebuild Kit?

    My Pro5 should be getting back from the shop soon with my new trans in it. The shifter is sloppy, and has a lot of play in it (probably helped break the damn thing with a missed shift) and I'd like to rebuild it. I want to rebuild the whole thing. Unfortunately I can't find a kit with what I...

    Oil Burning..

    So, this seems to be a common problem with these cars. I bought my car about a little over a year ago. When I got it the thing was burning oil like mad. I replaced the spark plugs, wires, coil packs, and valve cover gasket. The problem looked like it was solved. However, after my most recent oil...

    Where is the VSS? (Transmission mounted Speed Sensor)

    I called a yard about a transmission. They guy is going to send me a picture tomorrow of the trans, I told him I needed a VSS, so the pic is for me to make sure the trans has one... Does anybody have a pic of where it is though? I've been searching Google, and quite honestly it's useless. If...

    Suspension Upgrades...

    I'm looking into putting in some new Struts and Lowering springs after I fix my transmission (Junkyard trans- $300)... Is there a thread that has detailed instructions, if not, could somebody who's done it give me some pointers. What tools I'll need, what the project would entail.

    It's Been a While... Help!

    Okay, so I went to AAMCO today to get a quote on transmission work and a diagnostic... So, I came back with knowledge of a badly bent rim, and that a basic rebuild is going to cost me $1500... I have about $1000 to fix both of these problems... What should I do? I'm pretty much paddling up s##t...

    Last Legs of a Brake Job... HELP!!!

    I recently finished replacing the brake calipers, pads, and rotors all around on my Pro5. Everything was good for the most part. But I have two problems. First, the rear driver side is still clamped, its rubbing on the rotor and basically having the same problem I replaced it for. Also, the...

    Brakes/MPS?

    I'm shopping for parts to repair my rear brakes on my 02 P5. The site has two options, w/ MPS and w/o MPS. What exactly does this mean? the W/ MPS are cheaper so I'd be inclined to buy those if they'd fit. It's a Base Model P5 as far as I know, btw.

    Clunking Noise

    So, I don't know if the problem is common or not, but, I have an 02 Pro5, and there's a clunking noise in the front end. It started out fairly subtle, now it's getting pretty violent (and amusingly, keeps the car more or less straight when it happens, despite my dire need of an alignment). I was...
