    HELLLLLLLLLLLP! Factory Alarm

    My sons 2003 Protege5 has just been an electrical nightmare for the last year. All started with a bad alternator (which has been replaced twice now).

    GT AWD Wheel diameter drop?

    Can you run a 19" or 18" touring AWD wheel on a Grand Touring AWD. I'm asking because I can get a much better deal on a smaller rim/tire combo then I can get for a 20" rim. I'm looking to get a set of designated winter wheel/tires. I like the 20's for summer, but don't mind a 18 ro 19 for a...

    Remote

    Well, after searching the web I came up empty on a replacement remote. Finally broke down and got one ordered up. Cost $154.00 to replace. What a F-ing scam. I wish some could post an alternative. Still have young kids so I'm expecting the remote to disappear again at some point. For fear...

    Dome light not working?

    The overhead dome light does not come on when I open the doors. The switch is set to "door", but no lights come on. The light does work so it's not burnt out(setting the switch from door to on). But on is on and not activated by the door. Is there another bulb for the switch door position...

    Faux Wood Interior Panel Replacement

    I just purchased a 2008 GT AWD. It's silver with black leather interior. I absolutely hate the faux wooden accent panels(not enough not to buy the vehicle). Is there a vinyl kit that is available for the CX-9? Has anyone replaced their's with OEM panels and what was the cost?

    Rear Brake Piston

    I'm changing my rear pads but can't get the pistons to retract far enough to provide enough gap to seat on the rotors. The piston appears to move freely when I press the brake pedal. I've tried using a C-clamp to push it back, but it still is out about a 1/2 inch from the housing. I didn't...

    Brake Squeal

    Ok, I've looked a number threads and think I'm one of the crowd with a faulty rear brake caliper. About two days ago the passenger side rear brake started to make a high pitch squeal while on the interstate. Thinking it was brake related, I tapped the brakes and the noise disappeared. Drove...

    CAI/SRI Filter Condom

    Ok, I just installed my new K&N CAI. Actually, I only installed it as a SRI, but will do the final installation this weekend when I have the time to jack up the car and remove the inner wheel well stuff and run the additional tubing. The kit came with this black cover for the filter which K&N...

    Middle of the Road Header

    Ok, I'm not going to be racing, but I also don't like buying crap either. So, could anyone (unbiased (ha-ha)) recommend a header without braking the bank. JDM, OBX, AWR, others.... What to look for in a header? I've seen some post were people are bending waterpump plumbing etc. Don't want...

    Rim Identification

    Does anyone know the manufacture of these rims? I just bought a 2003 yellow P5, I think these rims and and tires make it look smoking hot! The pic came from a random search from yahoo for P5 images.

    Buying a 2003 P5

    I just purchased a P5 on ebay, and will be picking it up this upcoming Tuesday (3/25). It has only 36k miles and looks very well taken care of, though pictures and salesman can be deceiving. It's coming from a high end auto dealership on a trade in. I think I'm getting a smoking/reasonable...
