    Best Carpeted Mat?

    I wonder if the Lloyds are the best? My originals are now totally smooth on the bottom because they never grabbed the carpet properly.

    HEadlight Assembly

    I dropped the clip and screw in the assembly when changing the driver's side low beam bulb today. Will the bulb be in proper alignment and be secure without them? I hope I am not in the same position as JustJake. I wonder if I park on a steep hill, maybe the clip and screw slide down to the back...

    It was the switch. The switch was not down, but pressing it down and again to get it back up restore it.

    Minor imperfections on P5

    1. Hot spot above the engine causes paint damage. ( Should have extra insulation to prevent this) 2. Bolt goes through floor pan and pushes through carpet, causing a hole. (This is almost a foot behind the gas pedal.) 3. Mats do not stay in place. Although this is common, even the postioning...

    Do K&N cotton filters work well?

    On all three of my carburetor cars, you instantly feel the lower restriction and the associated performance gain. But on my P5 its too small to notice. Wonder why?

    Do K&N cotton filters work well?

    I have had my Protege 5 for 15,000 kilometres and just checked the filter. There is only one streak of dirt on it. In two decades of driving ,my paper filters are always loaded up after 15,000 kilos. I know the K&N do not work as well as the paper, and not maintaining the oil film on the K&N...

    OEM Floor Mat

    Yes they are Mazda mats. No point in looking for after market mats with the same hole (if there are any) if they do not stay put.

    OEM Floor Mat

    I have the peg but the mat still slides all over because the peg is too small for the size of hole in the mat. Even if the peg worked, the mat will still swing aroung because the mat has little grip on the carpet.

    How will a 2" exhaust tip look on the stock exhaust?

    I guess that cat back is black and not white! GM, the Racing Beat system is pretty nice. I may consider it when mine rusts out, which will be in a long time where I live. I am not willing to spend that kind of money right now. I am willing to do suspension upgrades though, as the gains are...

    How will a 2" exhaust tip look on the stock exhaust?

    I like the looks of the Borla tip. I am not going for performance as the gains are too small. I do not mind some of the stuff for sale here but it will be expensive to ship up to Canada. I may watch for something I can pick up. (Long wait probably) Is there any upgrade cat back or axle back...

    How will a 2" exhaust tip look on the stock exhaust?

    I will need a adapter section as we know the P5 exhaust is less than 2". How will this look ? Will it still be worth doing. This is the tip: http://borla.com/products/product_multi_detail.aspx?cat=3&type=57&desc=Polished+Tips%7CSingle+Round+Intercooled

    Vibration when turning

    I just found it odd that it only appears when turning at city speeds and not on the highway or going straight. I will rotate the wheels to isolate that,then maybe have the Mazda Dealership look at it.

    Vibration when turning

    When my car is turning, under some road textures, there is noise and vibration coming up. I never experienced this in the dozens of cars I have used. Is this normal with the P5 or is there something wrong?

    How to remove tiny black spots off my paint?

    I have a lot of tiny black spots on my body paint. The bigger of them I have removed by finger nail. Some of the smaller ones I used Bug Tar to remove. What can I use on the rest? I believe this is road tar adhering because I have neglected to put wax on it.(I know : DUMB!!)

    Mazda's Paint Sucks

    I noticed last week that there is a small spot on the hood that is no longer yellow. I put my hand on the hood and notice this is the hot spot on the hood. My car just turned 4 years old.
