    thule roof rack

    I purchased the 725 flat top 4 snowboard carrier from thule. I had heard from many other posts that the crossbars are too far back to carry snowboards - they say the snowboards will hit the rear roof spoiler when the hatch is opened. I installed my carrier on my factory crossbars, loaded my...

    tires

    I was looking for replacement tires for my PR5 and I found that I couldn't find anything for under 100 dollars. But through my Mom's work - where she happens to know someone who owns a tire shop - this guy says he can get me Toyo Proxes TPT's for $396.00 mounted and balanced. Does that sound...

    Ballistic Unlimited Mazda Tran-sport

    I saw a picture of this vehicle in HCI - it was just a small picture at a car show - but I was really intrigued. I was wondering what the hell that thing was - thanks for showing me what was up.

    Show me your pedals

    I covered my dead pedal with an 8"X4" piece of diamond plate. I attached it with hook and loop (velcro) tape. I think it looks pretty good. I don't have any pictures of it though. My pedal covers are pretty cheap but they do the job. I just don't like the way the original pedals feel. Too...

    prospecting

    I have had my PR5 for a year and I am at 34,000 miles - I had to have the front brake rotors replaced at 30,000 miles - but that could've just as well be me driving bad. Other than that I have had no problems with the car. I plan to fix the lack of horses when the warranty craps out at 50K...

    Sport Compact Car Magazine

    In the June '03 HCI (Hot Compact and Imports) there is a small picture of a PR5 at a show and beneath it says "MP5's are really starting to pop up at all the shows." I thought this was pretty cool.

    Allentown

    I know there are specific forums for this but I tried this and I only got 8 views and no responses. Am I the only PR5 on this site in Allentown PA? I feel so lonely.

    What made you choose Mazda?

    I was looking for a new affordable 4- door car to buy - it wasn't specifically a hatchback - But I had noticed that it was a recommended car by Consumer Reports. I also used to work at a Mazda lot and when I used to move the new P5's around I thought they were so cool. I ended up going with a...

    Air bag light

    I am at 30,000 miles and I can't even think of what the air bag looks like. I guess I am no help.

    Protege5 OR Corolla Sports

    I test drove the PR5 and never looked back - I didn't need to test drive anything else - plus, the PR5 has a very unique/simple/roomy interior. fun to drive and a lot more fun to look at than the corona - corolla - what were we talking about?

    nosemask

    I want to know what everyone would think of my silver Protege5 if I installed the black nosemask with DG Motorsports carbon fiber headlight eyelids. I think this would give a cool look - no one would happen to have a picture of this on there car would they? I didn't originally want the...

    caliper paint

    I know this topic has been covered many times but I was wondering if anyone has used this certain brand. It's a caliper lacquer set made by folia tec. I like it because it is a brush on rather than a spray on which seems easier to me. My only quarrel with it is that it says that I can't put...

    Help! headlights

    One other question I have that I just thought of is will silver metallic "interior" trim paint hold up to the elements - I happen to live in a snow/sleet/hail and stuff area. In fact I'm supposed to get 4-8 inches tomorrow. This winter will never end. I already ordered them from DGM, If I...

    Help! headlights

    this had been somewhat helpful, thank you for your info - No one would have any advice on where to look for a vinyl stick sheet, would they?

    Help! headlights

    I am a nimrod when it comes to modifying cars - the most I've done to my PR5 is to cut a piece of diamond plate to cover the footrest left of the clutch and I also put in cheap pedals. I would like to know if anyone would know HOW to make or get silver eyebrows for my headlights. I would be...

    eyebrows

    Does anyone know where to get paintable eyebrows for your PR5 headlights? I think it would be cool if you painted the black strip right above the grill and then also had same color eyebrows for you headlights. I know DG Motorsports makes carbon fiber ones - but is carbon fiber paintable?:rolleyes:
