Today I replaced both drive belts. They failed Friday night on my way home from the office holiday party -lost my power steering just as I was turning out of the parking lot LoL. The belt that works the water pump totally disintegrated while the one that works the power steering just kinda fell...

my baby's just under 70K and i got her new Brembo rotors and ceramic pads on all four corners. yah for me!... no more vibration under braking! [stock rotors were done!]

That's hilarious... can't imagine anyone going for that. Even if the deal was "Just drive in and we'll give you free OEM tires", I'd still have to think about it for a while. Those Dunlops are so bi-polar... beautiful in dry summer weather, but horrible otherwise. got caught in a snow storm one...

BTW, my local dealer quoted me about $6.75 a piece for the NGK ZFR5F-11's... Is that really what the dealers are charging??? (omg) All I could think was "F* that. Pep Boys here I come!" ($2 each)

i figured they were OK when i started the car up and everything was running smoothly :)

Finally got around to switching out my spark plugs. Had original Denso's in there, but now they're NGK ZFR5F-11's. Hardest part of doing the plugs was pulling off the first boot (did not want to come off) and afterwards making sure the ones under the coil packs were properly engaged -maybe i...

Nope, doesn't cover the holes... at least not completely. I bought the MSM badge specifically for that purpose, but alas it was not meant to be. I ended up using it on my front grille for a while, but ended up taking it off & now it's just sitting on the sidelines.

-Bought my P5 at Sansone... they were cool. They were patient while i was trying to decide (Mazda6 vs Mazda3 vs Protege5). The salesman even drove out to my house the next day when an error was found in the paperwork. Had some service done there as well -it was OK. -I get the majority of my...

welcome to the fam! search around and i'm sure you'll find a project/mod soon enough. when i first got mine i was consumed by trying to get every possible (and affordable) MSP upgrade i could find and fit on the P5. as so rightfully stated before... Welcome to your new addiction!

just found this thread. here are my 2 cents: about to hit 42,700. i can remember when i bought her with less than 10K on the odometer... seems like it was only yesterday! (cryhard)

yeah, what Kansei said. Some people swear by it... My car was running just fine before it, so i didn't notice a major difference. If for nothing else, it's kinda fun to watch all this white smoke (essentially steam) pour out of your exhaust (although your neighbors won't be too thrilled about it).

Let's see... -Gave her the ol' Sea Foam treatment (upbum) -Followed that up with an oil change... finally switched to synthetic! :D Next on the list is a tranny flush/synthetic switch and spark plugs...
