It's that simple. My car was outside, just started it up to pull it in the garage. Didn't let it warm up at all really. Did the Mobil 1 oil change like usual and filter, tightened everything, done. A couple days later I go to start my car (cold out, but not too cold to give it trouble to...

Quick question guys...all I did was turn the key to the 'on' position and the stereo won't work at all now. HU, speakers and amp are all Pioneer. Front left speaker was acting up, but why would that cause amp to go out? Power light on amp won't come on. Checked every fuse in the car, on the...

Does anybody know where I can purchase special service tools? At the moment I specifically need the tools to check A/C refrigerant level and the one to check drive belt tension. I've checked Sears, Autozone, Pep Boys, etc. with no luck. Even checked Harbor Freight online. Any ideas?

Hey guys, Just spent today cleaning my lovely adjustable end links from AWR :rolleyes: and, installing my 4 point ladder bar and front lower tie bar from GTSpec :D The green are the bolts for the front lower tie bar, and the red is circling the stock piece that is replaced by the ladder...

I'm looking for the part number to the 27mm front sway bar that comes stock on the Mazdaspeed Protege. If anyone has it, or is able to get it for me, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am ready to install my AWR header. Just a few questions now. First off, is it worth having a stainless steel straight pipe made to replace my secondary cat and have the same diameter as my catback? Or are we talking 1-2HP, if that? Next, the springs at the bottom of the downpipe bolts, are...

Will 14" steel wheels fit on a 2002 ES model? I will be using them for winter tires only, but wanted to be certain they would clear the brake system and everything else down there. Would the 14" steelies still fit fine with H&R springs/MSP struts? Keep in mind snow tires will be mounted on...

Is the Protege5 second cat/pipe the same size and length as on the MP3 and sedan? I know the P5 exhaust is shorter (or longer I don't remember), but is this in the cat-back only? I need to know if a mid pipe for an MP3/MP5 will fit my 2002 ES? Link here: fifth product down I contacted...

Check this out http://www.protegeclub.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30024 It is from the other forums, but it looks like there is a good possibility for a meet Aug 23. Hope to see you there if/when this happens!

My cars first birthday was yesterday so I got it a hat and some cake, along with loads of other mods throughout the year.

I posted a similar thread on the other forum but got no definite responses, so I thought I would try this crowd, too. My car recently started squeaking/creaking when I go over bumps. It seems to come from the wheel well area of all 4 wheels. It will not make a sound if I simply push down on...

Can anyone tell me if the Mazdaspeed adjustable struts are good in combination with the H&R sport springs? For a good chunk of change, I'd want the struts to complement the springs rather well. If these are not good in combination, what will work well with H&R springs? Thanks guys!

It seems all we see in the Performance section is people bitching about how there are no headers. From what I gather, they cost anywhere from a couple hundred to nearly a grand for something that won't give but a few HP and also makes the car illegal emission-wise. I wish people would just...

I recently purchased the Injen CAI, Splash Guard and Racing Beat Cat-Back from Mitch Buckner, many of you know as Protege5Online or the owner of www.protege5online.com He said all the items would be shipped to me within a week...it has now been almost 3 weeks and no sign of the exhaust. Racing...

At www.injen.com/testing.html the MP3 dyno is being re-tested. Any thoughts on this? Perhaps now we will get an accurate reading of the actual gains of the Injen CAI.

Are there any titanium exhaust systems available? I hear JIC Magic is making one that will be around $1100 USD. Any others? Also, how much would it be to have one custom made out of titanium? TIA
