Hi, I recently started hearing a loud humming/moaning sound from my transmission on mornings after a cold start. The noise goes away immediately after I shift out of P into R or D. Apart from the noise the car drives quite well with no tranny slippage. Would anyone know what this noise could...

Members, We recently sold our 2006 Mazda 5 and while cleaning up the garage I found a pair of CF Eyelids. They have never been used and are available for FREE to any member in Calgary. I don't want the hassle of having to package and mail them out. So if you live in Calgary and want a free pair...

Hi, Recently I've started to hear a moaning sound coming from under the dash when I start the Protege on mornings. This is the Touring model with the 1.8L engine. The sound is somewhat similar to a problem we had with our 2000 MPV several years ago. That turned out to be the IAC valve. Has...

Hey, Been hanging on this forum for some time now with the Mazda5 guys. We sold the Mazda5 and the MPV and got ourselves a RAV4 and had some change left over for a 2000 Protege. Here she is....stock except for the suspension. My son has a 1997 that sits a bit lower than this so we're hanging...

Has anyone tried 16" Miata wheels (from a 2003 Miata) on a 2000 Protege. I know the stud spacing is the same, however I wondered about the offset and tire rubbing. Any suggestions? Thanks, Anthony

The wife and I decided to consolidate from 2 vehicles to 1. So we sold off the MPV and the Mazda 5 and settled with a RAV4. It's been nice owning Mazda's for the past 12+ years but it's also time for a change I think. We pick up the RAV sometime next month so for now we're surviving with the...

Hi, I just received an e-mail from Vogtland about a spring sale they're having on suspension kits. I currently run a set of these springs on my MPV and while they are not very dramatic in terms of the drop, they are very progressive and offer a real improvement over the OE set up. I've posted...

Just got this off CNN...... WEST MEMPHIS, ARKANSAS (WMC) - A car belonging to a West Memphis doctor exploded this morning when he got into the car according to West Memphis Police. This happened at 8 a.m. at Doctor Trent Pierce's home on North Avalon Street and West Cooper Avenue in West...

Hey, Anyone had problems with their ignition key? MY key started to give problems turning (especially when shutting off the engine) and then it refused to come out of the socket. It's at the dealership right now. They have to replace something or the other... Not sure of the details. Anthony

Hey, The side skirt on my Mazda5 (RH) gor crunched. It was either my wife or my son who did this....not me.....honestly. Anyway, the dealer price for a single new skirt is something in the neighborhood of $350 CAD. Do you guys (gals) know of any other aftermarket options? I checked BaysonR but...

Has anyone replaced the rear exhaust (muffler) with something a little more 'sporty'........(ricer)....... I'm looking for some ideas. Thanks, Anthony

My son just got a used Protege as his first car. I got him some 15" wheels and a set of B&G springs to make it look half decent. Anthony

Hey, Does anyone know if there are any issues with fitting 1990 14" Miata wheels on a 1997 Protege. They're both 4x100 and while the Miata wheels may have a slightly different offset I'm thinking they may work on the Protege. I'm trying to get a set of winter wheels for my son's car. Thanks...

Hello, I'm thinking of getting a 1994 Mazda 626 (V-6) for my son who is off the University in the fall. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips I should consider before buying this vehicle. Thanks for your help. Anthony

Hey, Since we're in the middle of Winter, I thought it would be fun to show the lowest outdoor temperature you've registered from the Mazda5. I live is Calgary and it's darn cold today. I recorded this temperature a few minutes ago.....Mind you, this is the daytime high. I registered at -32C...

Hey, Not sure if there is any interest in this thread, but I thought since it's winter time we could possibly start showing our Mazda5's at their dirtiest. I only thought about this while I washed mine yesterday, so I don't have any pics to show at the moment except one that was take last...

I need some help. I have a Erebuni body kit for my MPV and I'm looking for a shop in Calgary to paint and install this kit. Can anyone suggest someplace (preferably in the NW or NE) that will be able to do this for me. Thanks for your help. Anthony
