    WTB: Protege5

    I'm selling mine for a much lower price ($3500 Cdn.), but it's a bit of a "fixer upper". It's burning oil pretty badly. I'm going to start a thread tomorrow once I take some current pictures of it. PM if interested!

    Tire Size Question

    Good to know- thanks a lot. At this point in my car's life, asthetics are becoming much less important. However, the ABS could be a problem.

    Tire Size Question

    I really should know the answer to this question, but I don't. I am currently using 205/45/R17 tires, and was wondering if 205/40/R17 would also fit on my (non-lowered) 2002 Protege5. Also, is it okay to have two 205/45/R17 and two 205/40/R17? Thanks! Shane

    WTB: Konig Trouble 17x7 (5 bolt)

    Hi, I cracked one of my 17"x7 Konig Trouble Graphite (5 bolt) rims on my Protege5 so I am looking for a replacement. Ideally, I'd buy just one, but if you need to get rid of all four, I would also consider that.\ Thanks! Shane

    HELP! Black Smoke Question + P5 Road Trip Prep

    I found a friend that could scan mine. I will definitely try Auto Value next time though- I didn't think about them. I tried NAPA, and apparently they don't read codes period. Anyway, it came up as: P0421 Warm Up Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1) I had my catalytic converter...

    A/C Recharge Kit (worked for me!)

    bump- I have a RedTek AC Recharge Kit. It says in the instructions that you must take it to a shop to evacuate the existing refrigerant before refilling it. Is this absolutely necessary? I understand that maybe mixing the two types of refrigerant isn't as good as just using the one type, but has...

    Calgary CEL Diagnostics

    I know there was a similar thread on Edmonton, but my question is: Is there a place in Calgary that will do engine diagnostics for free? If not, where is a good place to get my own scanner? Thanks!

    HELP! Black Smoke Question + P5 Road Trip Prep

    No luck on the code scanner- everyone wants $110 just to scan the car. I'll keep looking though, and maybe just buy a scanner.

    HELP! Black Smoke Question + P5 Road Trip Prep

    Actually, I've noticed an improvement in mileage lately- ever since I put in new ignition coil packs. My current mileage is in the 8.1-8.4 L/100km range (28-29 mpg) And yes, I do have a CEL on.
