    Headlight Moisture

    Ok, here's the story I got from the dealership. Apparently our headlight units (according to the service writer I met) have what he calls "vents". These vents can get moisture in them and that causes the condensation inside the unit. I'm going in on wednesday to have the units checked for leaks...

    Headlight Moisture

    Re: The Moisture.... Actually, BOTH units were full of condensation...and I did run through some high water last night(we got flooded) but it wasn't over the grill....in fact, I had noticed that my headlights didn't seem as effective within the last few weeks, but i thought nothing of it...

    Headlight Moisture

    Has anyone else had condensation issues with their p5's? I've had mine since February and noticed today that the ENTIRE lens was covered in condensation. I took out the high beam bulb and used a hair dryer to dry it out for now. Also, are there any sealed units available aftermarket at all...

    optimum tire pressure on MP3's....

    when the sides of the tires wear out first you've been running too low an air pressure...the tread ends up cupping in the center as the sidewalls are compressed under the car...that's why the center portion doesn't wear....vice versa if you put too much pressure in the tire it wears more in the...

    Insurance Loophole This might be a waste of time but since I have the info i figured I'd share it with you guys. There's a loophole to not having auto insurance that not many are aware of. You only need two things...(1) A bank (2) 25 grand....you put the 25 grand in a specialized type of bank...

    Speed!!!

    Thanks for taking the time to respond folks. I just can't tell you how much I love my car(and hate the damn japs for not sending it over to the states with the turbo and awd). But hey, it's not like we can't put that stuff on our cars right? Has anyone heard of a conversion from a p5 to a...

    Speed!!!

    Ok I just got my protege 5 about two months ago. Soon after my first oil change I decided to see how fast I could get to downtown from the lovely "bubble" that I happen to reside in. Then, an amazing thing happened at 5500 rpm, the throttle response was basically gone at 3/4 throttle. I'm just...
