Just registered for this forum because of a strong interest in purchasing a used protege 5. No stickes for general P5 information? I guess I'll have to do the dirty work myself.
Btw, I come from the Mr2 forums, and just wanted to say hello

Mr_Hann said:Thanks guys!
I was just looking for techie info mostly (off the top of my head- intake options, spring and shock options, OEM wheel offset and the distance from the body to the wheel, OEM wheel centerbore/thread pitch (12x1.5 or 1.25), websites of small P5 parts sellers.... but right now I'm just browsing through the forums.
Is this the only P5 specific area on the forums? I see all these threads entitled "MSP"- just for the Mazdaspeed?

When I bought mine back in july, I spent a lot of time on google and other sites like epinions trying to find out whatever I could about the car.
As far as parts for the car (I/H/E), they are rediculously expensive when you consider the marginal gains they produce. Seriously, this is just retarded. Paying well over $200 for 1...maybe 2 HP is we-todd-did. That's why I'll stick to handling and weight reduction (where I can). (thumb) Speaking of that, I want to cry b/c someone was selling a set of k1-ts wheels for only $650 and I don't have that money sitting around.
Sorry for the tangent. Oh yeah btw,of your Mister 2
yeah, a whopping 14lbs for a 17" wheel. (humpleg) (humpleg) (humpleg) (humpleg)Mr_Hann said:And the K1-TS is one sick wheel. The idea of having 2 valve stems to get super anal with tire pressures is really cool to me (hah) Not to mention IIRC, they weigh even less than the original K1's.
MyZmZm said:Protege Garage is likely your best source for all things P5, and until the site is up, you can always shoot Ken (Captain KRM P5) a pm/email, or give him a call: He is THE MAN. Basically, if he can't answer your questions, or can't find a part you're looking for, it likely doesn't exist.
I wish. Would be very nice though.Bob Loblaw said:Protege Garage is (or will be) in Canada?
