I bought my P5 10.5 years ago with 52k on the odo. Now it's got 135k and over my ownership, it *never* broke down on me. Started right up every time I turned the key, and got me to my destination every time. At 100k I replaced the timing belt and water pump, full expecting it to take me...

Wow, it's been a while since I visited this forum. Hopefully you guys can lend me some insight. I've got a '13 CX5 with 21K on the clock. In autoshifting mode, I executed a passing maneuver this morning, the engine spun up pretty high when suddenly the dash lit up like a Christmas tree...

Like these, sans tires:

Anyone have video revving an N/A 2.0 with a lightweight flywheel? I'd like to get an idea of how much of a difference it makes.

Anyone know how to detach the fog light lens from the body? I'm not talking about the plastic cover plate, that comes off easy. I mean the gray metal backing that the bulb seats into. Just tried some Betty Crocker action and no dice. Any suggestions?

Aftermarket wheels probably have the greatest impact in terms of your car's appearance. It's one of the first indicators of personalization. I don't really get the current trend in dark-color rims, particularly flat black, in which case you can't really tell where the rim stops and the tire...

I posted this question in the P5 subforum and got no love. Maybe it's more appropriately asked here. What controls the side airbags? If it's the ECU, then swapping my P5's ECU for an MP3 unit will render the side airbags useless. Just wondering if they're separate systems.

I was wondering why I find the Fit Sport good-looking (the first interesting Honda-badged design in 10 years) and then it hit me. The rims are MP3 knock-offs. There's a little Mazda in it! :)

The thought occurred to me that airbags may be controlled by the ECU, in which case my P5's side airbags may be rendered useless if I convert to an MP3 ECU. Are side airbags controlled by the ECU or is it a different system entirely?

Anyone have pics of the stock 3rd gen rear sway bar next to the Racing Beat version? Obviously they're different sizes, but I'm curious if the geometry (bends, etc) is the same.

Installed an MSP shift lever in my P5 and now I can hear transmission whine particularly in 5th. Did I overtorque the bolt that connects the base of the shift lever to the gear change control rod?

The previous owner of my car had it sprayed with some kind of paint protection when they bought it from the dealership. The car still looks new so I guess the stuff works. I'm thinking of removing the side molding but I wonder if it would look weird when I'm done, since the paint protector...

I know this has been discussed for years, but it never seems to get straightened out. Maybe some photographic evidence will put the ambiguity to bed. MSP springs != Racing Beat springs != MP3 springs. Front springs (left:MSP, right:RB) Rear springs (left:RB, right:MSP) Thickness of...

One vendor offers sets for $320 shipped, much cheaper than other sources. Is there any reason not to buy from them?

Trying to get a feel for how many of us had problems due to their EGR valve. Thanks for contributing!

Bought P5 at 53K miles. Exhibited typical failing motor mount characteristics--driveline felt indirect, bucks going on/off the throttle in low gears, and produces low vibration upon clutch engagement in low gears. Remedies: 1. Replaced slightly torn front motor mount at 54K miles with a...

Some sources, such as the Protege FAQ and some posts on this forum, indicate that MP3s, or possibly some MP3s, came with a 19mm rear sway bar. Not the same as the 20mm MSP bar. Can any of you MP3 guys confirm this? Thanks for the help. :)

Oh, no! Not another P5 owner looking for a Racing Beat rear sway bar! Yawn. Well, here's the twist: I'm looking for the 19mm bar (BN7H-28-151B) from the MP3 or MP3 sway bar kit (0000-88-C05-KT).

From the RacingBeat webpage, their springs do the following: 2001 Protege Sedan LX 2.0, ES 2.0, MP3 (Ride height drop - front .875-inch, rear .875-inch) 2002-03 Protege Sedan - All Models (including Protege5) (Ride height drop - front .75-inch, rear .875-inch) Anyone know what accounts for...
