Hey all, recently totalled my protege and want to get rid of my Snow tires(Michelin X-Ice 205/50/R16) and stock rims. They were used for 1 season, probably 90% tread left. Rims are a little dinged up but with a nice wash they will look much better than steelies! Looking to get 500$ for all four...

Today while driving down the highway I heard a very odd whirring noise coming from the back right area of my car. It sounds like a loud mechanical whirring, thats the best way I can describe it. Initially I thought it was the fuel pump , but i'm having no issues starting, driving and when It...

Bump

Still looking for a set of P5 deletes, would rather not order from mazdaparts and get dinged with conversion and duties!

Hey, looking for fog deletes for the stock p5 bumper. PM me if you've got some for sale and im sure we can figure something out!

I undid any wiring I did, and the problem still exists. Checked all my fuses, which are all good. What can I do?! I was pulled over for not having my cluster installed and ordered to get an inspection, I've got 11 days. I'm panicking here a little bit since I have no idea why this has suddenly...

Hey there, so I just finished swapping all my cluster bulbs and adding more LED's to swap the color to blue. I put the cluster in several times throughout the process to check hot spots etc, and everything was working. This last time, I installed and spliced the extra LED's into the left...

Roger that, thanks!!

So I haven't done an oil consumption test since I haven't changed my oil, but it hasn't been super bad. Just a tiny top-up every two weeks or so. I won't worry about that too much right now. Ended up throwing a code while driving, and had to replace my ignition coils. Did that as well as my...

Cleaned my egr valve, definitely had alot of buildup in there so well see if that helps. Got plugs and wires in the way for good measure. I use full synthetic and top it off, doesn't seem to bad right now but the car does have 220k.. Hopefully valves are fine for now. Also seafoamed it...

Ordered one for 35$ shipped to my us PO Box. Canada... what a joke haha. Thanks for the help!

I don't think it's burning that much, but I could be wrong. I'll start keeping a mental note how much I add every week or so when I check. I'll definitely try throwing in some higher octane, see what happens. I did the math and its only a few bucks more/ fillup like you said; seems more at the...

I shift at 3k, usually topping out while cruising at a steady 3.5k, max 4k. I don't drive hard at all. I did put seafoam in my gas and oil this time around, but never thought to try higher octane fuel. This car was designed for regular though no? Using higher octane fuel would be a waste if the...

Gotcha. Found the How-to, so I'll follow that when I get everything to change it; definitely can't hurt!

So then it hasn't misfired, no codes at all. The gasket looks clean oil wise, but it does look pretty old and crappy. I've never pulled the valve cover, it's pretty much just pull and replace the gasket, then put it back on and re-torque right? No idea on the plugs, bought it about 6 months...

1) I park in the same spot everyday, no oil leaks anywhere! 2) I haven't unplugged the battery recently, no. Should I just clean the EGR, rather than replacing it? Is there any way to rule out the coils/plugs?

Hey guys, so I've got a 03 P5, 5 sp, 2.0L. In the last week I've noticed two things 1) Oil was very low, clearly being burned but I have not noticed any smoking, even on start-up. Replaced my pcv valve and changed my oil, but it didn't do anything. Also threw in some seafoam, why not. Any idea...

So its fine to just fill the broken mount, as long as everything lines up properly? What's the best way to support the engine, or is it fine to just sit for a weekend without one mount? Also thanks for the suggestion, I ordered a Bluetooth reader. Didn't even know they existed and at such a...

Hey guys, first off I'm so thankful I've found this forum, been a great help so far. I picked up an 03 mazda p5 with 210k km, in really good condition both inside and out. Only one small rust bubble I intend on fixing! After getting it inspected before purchasing I was told the battery was on...

Restored my headlights, replaced alternator and AC belt; and mid-way through painting center console trim black! Then all thats left maintenance wise are engine mounts and a new battery!
