    Mazda3 dash illumination help needed

    I hooked up my trailer to the back of my 3S and while I was going down the road at night, the gauge lights went to "day mode" and the radio and climate lights went out. I also found out all my tail and front parking lights are also out. Both taillight fuses are OK. Map and trunk lights still...

    Brakes for 2002 Mazda Protoge LX 2.0

    I believe the 5 lug Protege 01-03 models have rear discs (ES and P5) while the DX and LE have 4 lug drums in rear.

    Alternate tire size on stock rims?

    So which Dunlop model did you buy with a 600 rating? If it's the Dunlop SP 60 tire, it looks to be a noisy (but long lasting) passenger all season tire. Seems to be geared for less sporty cars (like Caravans and Olds 88). Since you are a tire expert (and seem to have a Protege ES like mine)...

    Alternate tire size on stock rims?

    You must not push your car too hard! Most high treadwear tires are all season with soft sidewalls that dont have very good turn in response.Also, as the rubber is exposed to sun and cold temps over the years, it hardens and loose it's grip.

    help with exhaust

    I just put a trubendz on my 04 3s sedan. I had it placed after the factory presilencer (after the 2 cats). Not too much louder than stock this way (except some throatiness between 2000-3250 RPMs). Seems like better throttle response. The 2.5 aluminized is on sale right now...

    Escort 9500i vs valentine

    The arrows help you locate the signal to help you decide if signal is a true threat. I find it extremely useful. I also find that a lot of other radar detectors give off false K and sometimes Ka signals that can be perceived as true signals. The arrows help you locate direction and therefore...
