I just had mine done. The screw came loose and got sucked into the #3 cylinder. I had no idea my P5 was still under warranty and had a non-dealer diagnose the noise. Once I figured out the car was still under warranty, I had a local dealer make the repair. They supposedly checked the cylinder...

I can confirm that it needs an alignment done to get wheel centered. The local dealer told me this, and they don't have an aligning setup. They referred me to the place (Mark Morris Tire) that got it wrong in the first place! I asked them for another place, and I'm picking up the car today...

yeah, I should have. they did it about 6 months ago, I'm probably SOL. That tire place is retardo, they left their fancy lug wrench in my trunk and kept my spare, I had a vibration and had to go back once anyway and they still didn't get it right. There's about 3lbs of lead on my front right...

I'm trying to figure out how to adjust the steering center on the ps rack. I thought it might be easy, but it's not real obvious looking at the steering section. I just got an alignment, the car tracks straight but the steering wheel is about 5 degrees off center. It's driving me nuts because...

diz-am. okay - am I a total loser for not finding that posted here elsewhere? I searched the forums and didn't come up with anything. I suck.

Hi Kids - I want to buy a Mazda factory service manual. I had one for my MX5 and it set me up the bomb. I'd like to get one for my P5. I guess I could ask my dealership parts department, but I have a feeling I'll need to grab my ankles if I go in there to get one. Anybody know where to get...

I bough my p5 in September, had it for about 4 days, and it got smashed. I parked on a hill, and a Ford F350 with dualies was parked about 5 spaces up, with no cars between. Their parking brake failed, and it rolled back ... <SMASH> ... and nearly totalled my car. The damage was impressive...

PM me when you're back in action, I want one, too! They look great! Do they increase horsepower at all? (spin)

Damn, +f, I hope you're not old, or I'm screwed. It's friday, kids! (friday) (bump)

From what I have heard, most brands have an incentive for dealers to get good customer service ratings, but Mazda does not. For VW, they have some customer satisfaction rating. The dealerships that score higher get first pick of the car configurations that come over each year (models, color...

I had a miata for a while. I got some cool horns from harbor freight, they were high pitched but dual tone, sounded like an italian sports car. I wired the compressor straight to the stock horn power, but that was a bad idea. Making air for the duals drew more power than the stock horn (duh)...
