    1st Gen Speed3 seat question:

    I need a small favor from one of you Speed3 owners: Could someone please measure the seating surface of a Speed3 front seat? Really I just need the length of the seat, front to back, where it's marked in this picture: Also, do these seats have tilt adjustment for the bases? Thanks!

    '03.5 P5 Sub into other car?

    I would be shocked if this hasn't been answered before, I searched, I really did, and I didn't find anything. Now that our '03.5 P5 is totalled and gone, I find myself with the stock spare tire subwoofer sitting in my workshop. If I wanted to put that in one of my other cars, what would I...

    2010 Mazda5 Clutch Recommendations and Compatibility

    My Mazda5 only has 56,000 Miles, and after a few weeks of thinking it felt a little odd, I'm now sure the clutch is slipping. ...So, I'm wondering: What the hell? 56,000 miles and the clutch is done already? My wife's P5 has twice the mileage on the original clutch, and it's going strong, even...

    Can not get endlink bolt out of strut!

    So, I'm trying to replace all the bushings on my AWR 21mm swaybar and adjustable endlinks. On the upper end of the endlink, where it bolts to the strut, I've gotten the nut off, and the bolt spins freely, but I can NOT get the bolt to come out of the strut or get the end link off of the bolt...

    Overheating mystery

    Driving the P5 home from work the other night I sat for a while at an intersection, and when I got the green, I shot across the road, looked down at the gauges, and noticed the temp gauge was all the way to HOT! I backed off the throttle, and drove slowly the 1/2 mile home. I turned the heat...

    Mazda3 Buyer's Guide?

    Hey all. Is there a "buyer's guide" for the Mazda3 anywhere on the forum? You know, model changes by year, things to watch out for, etc.? I know more or less all there is to know about the various 3rd-gen Proteges, but I know very little about the 3, and I'm considering shopping around for...

    Sub and amp between middle row seats?

    So, my dear wife has more or less reclaimed her P5, leaving me with the Mazda5 as my daily driver. In terms of bass, this stock stereo simply will not do. When I had the MPV, even with an upgraded head unit and speakers, the big, boomy box of a van was just too hollow to get any bass sound...

    Mazda #7 = Mazda5

    Last January, my wife and I picked up a 2005 Mazda6 S Sport to replace the Mustang convertible I bought and never really liked. 11 months later, we've traded the 6 in on a 2010 Mazda5 Sport with the manual 5 speed transmission. It will be replacing both the 6 and the 2000 MPV in our fleet...

    Xcarlink in Mazda5 with factory Aux in?

    So, I'm getting a 2010 5 sport, and I have an Xcarlink Ipod/Aux-in box from my '05 Mazda6. RPM store lists the same part # for both vehicles, here: http://www.therpmstore.com/product_info.php?cPath=103&products_id=142 That page has the following warning: Has anyone confirmed this on the 5...

    "Everything Swaps?" What do you think?

    I read a bunch of the automotive web sites, and frequently see extreme engine/suspension/EVERYTHING swaps like this, where a guy is sticking a Viper V-10 into a Jenson Interceptor, or those Mustang V-8 RWD conversions for the Ford Focus, and while I see a certain awesomeness to them I wonder...

    '05-'09 Mustang Wheels, Center Caps, Headlight Splitters, Mufflers, Throttle Body

    After a foolish (no pun intended) flirtation with the world of non-Mazdas, I've come back to the fold, but I still have some parts left from my former Mustang. If you happen to have a Mustang in the corral, or someone you know does, you could help me out by getting this stuff out of my garage...

    P5 Glove Box, Stock Grill

    So, we're cleaning out the garage, and some stuff has to go! I REALLY don't want to bother with boxing and shipping this, so if you want these, please try to live in the DC/northern VA area, ok? Two Protege-specific items are offered here, very cheap, and for a limited time. If they don't go...

    Petit LeMans, Anyone?

    So, is anyone going this year? Are there any killer deals on admission for club members this time around? Mazda Corral? Anything? I'm thinking about taking Friday off of work, bombing down there, camping at the track, watching the main event, camping at the track then, bombing back home on...

    iracing, anyone?

    So, I've been hearing about iracing.com during grand am races for a while, and decided to check out the web site this week. It looks like a good super-realistic simulator, with no initial purchase price, and a decent subscription rate. What is discouraging, though, is that all racing is either...

    Wagon "bumper step" on sedan?

    Has anyone ever put the "bumper step" for the 6 wagon on a 6 sedan? I tend to open the trunklid and sit on the bumper/in the trunk to change shoes for mountain bike rides, and I was thinking it might be good to protect the paint. This is the part I'm talking about. Anyone know if it would...

    HELP!! Water in Trunk!

    So, during the rain two days ago, I put some bike parts in my trunk and noticed the trunk mat was wet. The following day, I pulled it out to dry and found the well against the right side of the trunk, the one where the jack lives, had about 1" of standing water in it, and the jack is rusty as...
