I was going to post this in the Protege5 threads but Ohio means more to me :) Bad news first...my Protege5 is gone. It was totaled out at the end of July. Don't worry, didn't involve an accident. Sucked water into the engine during one of those strong July storms. There was no saving the...

Right off the bat...I'm not a CX-5 owner. I've had the same Protege5 for 11 years...her b-day is this month :) As I enter the next stage of my life, the CX-5 is looking better and better. Now, my mind sometimes functions like I'm watching YouTube...I start with one thought about the practical...

Hello all! Cleaning out the storage, have some paintball equipment. SIDE NOTE --> If you have a P5 and interested in BuddyClub2 kit, check out my other for sale thread :) For simplicity, I'd really like to sell all these items together. It would make a great start up kit, or part it out and...

UPDATED (in red) 9/10/2012 Hi everyone! I still have the items listed below. I don't want to throw them out. Anyone interested in these? I'm willing to give these away if you want to come get them! Looking for offers. Thanks! ~ Shawn FOR FREE: - BuddyClub2 rear bumper (Protege5). -...

Hey all, I have an 02 P5. Long story short, my car has sat stationary for a week. Last night when I started it, the belt to the alternator sqealed, smoked, and snapped in a matter of seconds. Upon closer inspection, the pulley connected to the alternator is seized. Strangest thing. Anyways...

Quick question, I had my wheel alignment at Midas and they said my lower ball joints are bad. It was way too much $$$ to fix so I passed on that. They also said my sway bar links were bad...I thought the only way they could be bad is if they were broken??? Unless I'm confusing that with...

Hey all, I would like to get my new passenger fender on the P5 this weekend but I've never taken one off or put one on. I'm sure it's simple but I couldn't locate a how-to. Any pointers, suggestions, hints, or tips that would save me time and headaches? *EDIT* I should also note that I will...

Hey Floridians!! I'm taking a trip from Ohio to Tampa at the end of March (I will also be in Orlando for one night). I haven't really planned out my entire vacation so just trying to get a feel for any Mazda related events that may be happening. Any suggestions? Shawn

Hey all, as the title says, I need a fog light. My P5 has been mangled for 2+ years as I've gathered parts and it's finally being fixed this weekend! Now it's time to find the "non-essential" parts...a fog light! I will be traveling to Florida at the end of March so if you're near an I-75...

I'm bored at work and decided to google "Mazda Protege5" The very first site on the list is www.allautoreviews.com and when I clicked on it, there was a nice review of the 2008 and 2009 Mazda Protege5 lol See here I was mostly amused because the second paragraph says "For more information...

Got a question for all you stereo guru's. I searched the audio forums and came very close to finding my answer but never anything exact. Basically, I have a JVC KW-XG700. It's a double din. Now, the instructions say that I need to use the mounting brackets from my car...except I don't have...

Not sure if this is possible or not...and I couldn't find a "how-to" for removing all the interior. The piece right above the glove box, that has the heat vent in it, that has the little dimples like a golf ball...can that be removed? Looking at it, it appears to be seperate from the...

I originally posted this in someone else's thread but realized that I might be thread-jacking. Not that it mattered, nobody responded but figured I'd just try my own thread. In October, I started noticing a wobble in the P5. I thought it was a wheel balance issue since it started kind of...

Just like the title says, need a Protege5 passenger headlight. I'm a poor college student that can't afford my deductible to fix my car. So instead I just need a cheap headlight to get me by. Unless anybody has a front bumper and fender they want to give me! haha No seriously, I mean that...

Okay first off, I know the rules and such for selling on the forums. I'm not trying to avoid those, I promise. But I want to get rid of some parts off my Protege5 that aren't easy to ship, so I first want to extend the offer to my Ohio peeps or the surrounding areas where we can make delivery...

I lost all my aftermarket stereo equipment to a recent break-in. So I've decided to install my stock head unit for the time being. However, I don't have the two wiring harnesses. I know most of you probably won't want to sell their stock radio seperate from the harnesses so if the price is...

Well it looks like my bad luck streak wasn't over. Some of you may remember my last thread, posted around a month ago... http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123650641 ...well as if that wasn't enough, I guess somebody liked my stereo equipment more than I did. They must have been...

Well it's true, I had an accident. I bought the car with only 43 miles in 2001, added over 100,000 miles over the past 5 years, and aside from some minor dings from hail, runaway shopping carts, and campus area parking...I've pretty much managed to avoid any traffic accidents! Until today...

My buddy has organized an MX-6/Probe meet at Hooter's in Polaris (Columbus). So we thought we'd extend the invitation to all Mazdas. Like the title says, the meet is Oct. 7th at 3pm. I don't have directions to the Hooters just yet, but it's the one located near Polaris Mall in Columbus. The...

Seized Caliper, ideas? My passenger rear caliper is stuck and I'm pretty sure it needs replaced. We tried using the little tool to push back the piston and it didn't budge. So my first question is, am I doing that correctly or is there something else I need to do along with using the piston...
