In need of some positive info on the new CX-5 to get the wifey to go Mazda over Lexus. Yes, I know that is a bit of a tough go, but outside of gaining 2 years and saving maybe $6k overall purchase price, I know the Mazda is the better deal, but is it the better choice. Yes, I know many will...

Is there any specific bits or signs the Mazda6 guys can suggest I pay attention for when test driving? I plan to see one this Saturday. This is potentially replacing my 2003 Protege5, and I am stuck between a 2002 Lexus IS300 is really good condition and this Mazda6, both manual. I can't keep...

Just two days ago, I noticed the horn wouldn't beep when I double clicked the lock button the key fob. It's not the fuses as I swapped them around to check. There is a tiny beep then I just hear clicking in the fuse box (but again, it's not the fuse). Nothing electronically, was changed or...

Ok, I have been doing my research and weighing the options while considering the age of the car (2003), and the mileage (175k). But also keeping in mind, it is driven hard daily for Baltimore city commuting, along with occasional AutoCross in STC or STF classes when the RX8 is on the lift, and...

As my stock ones have decided to stop working and I have not been able to find the issue. In addition the shop burned an hour with the same result, so my thought process is to just upgrade. I searched around and in one thread, a member mentioned our fog's are 5-1/4", and the PIAA 540's are the...

Something I found and is worth having here: A: A: Attenuation, loss of dB. AC (Alternating Current): An electrical current that periodically changes in magnitude and direction. Acoustic Fiberglass: Thin fiberglass material used as damping material inside speaker enclosures. Acoustics: The...

I felt this would be a nice addition to the car audio section here. This is directly from my car audio forum: Prior to 1970, there were no easy or affordable methods accepted as standard in the industry for obtaining comparative data about loudspeaker performance. Recognized laboratory tests...

The explanation for this code is along the lines of not enough fuel or too much air in bank one. Now this code was occurring before I installed the CAI. I have also since replaced the MAF, which was not cheap. So, has anyone else had this issue and what their fix was. Because I hate driving...

I keep seeing a modified blue P5 at least 2 times a week heading to work the same time I am, just going the other direction. Just wondering if it is someone who is a member here.

I am just throwing this out there as I am still learning Mazda's, as my prior vehicle knowledge does not help much. Anyway, I am just pondering what ideas people would have that I have not thought of or seen on the normal Mazda performance parts sites for a small, not too expensive horsepower...

Just wanted to post and say after over a month of these on the P5, I think they are quite a good choice. This is not so much a review, but just a a positive suggestion for those looking for a great all around all season tire. Could be one of the best All-Season tires I have had regardless of...

As I have read plenty of people on here have had issues with theirs, well now it appears it is my turn. I need to order a drivers side front wheel bearing, and I wanted to get the opinions of people who have already dealt with this to possibly throw out a few suggestions as to where is the best...

I have dug through a number of topics, PM'ed a few people here and there, but thought it would be worth throwing up to the masses for more POV's. Now, I fully understand the gains on the standard I/H/E bolt on's don't really add much performance to the 2.0L engine. I am not going for major...

Just as the topic stats. I have new NGK plug wires for 2/4, now just need the coil packs for 1/3, any suggestions as to where to find a decent set?

Please do take a moment to read this topic and not just look at the pictures, as some of the photos will not make sense if you skip over what I try to say. I am few days behind on getting this pictures posted up, but life and all that goes with it has been in the way. Anyway, a MASSIVE thank...

Hello fellow P5'ers, glad I found this site. I look to learn as much as I can from everyone here about my new(ish) car. I hope to be able to contribute in terms of car audio. Glad to see there is a dedicated place for this little car. I can get into the story later, but I had a tragic end to...
