"Change your PCV valve and hose quick!!" I this because of the excessive oil consumption threads that I read? "MSDS headers or Nautalis Peformance Headers are recomended, but if you wait, Magnaflow is making OEM replacement with cats still in them." Any idea when the Magnaflow is going to be...

If your not opposed to used then how about a Mazda6 s wagon. i just replaced my 02 Protege5 with one last week. I found a nice one with a 5 speed. The power is great and the ride feels like a much more expensive car. Already began modding it.

The header eliminates the pre-cat. It goes header-catylitic converter-catback exhaust. i hope that's what you were asking.

Finally found my new wagon. It's a 05 S Sport 5mtx in steel grey. Brought it home last night. I plan to mod it very soon and have been researching for the past couple weeks. Does anyone have an opinion on the lowering springs? I'm down to racing beat or mazdaspeed. Also I can't seem to find...

I'd like to know a solution too. I just bought a 05 Mazda6 s wagon last night with the same noise. My brakes don't seem to be affected but the initial creaking is annoying.

Thanks Perro Saw the wagon today but the condition was way to rough for me. The search continues.....

Hello everyone, I've owned a 2002 Protege5 for many years. Now that it's pushing 191,000 miles i'm interested the the Mazda6 wagon. Looking at a 04 tomorrow with manual transmission. Has there been any common issues with this car? Anything that i should keep a lookout for? Thank You in Advance

The endlinks give alot of people problems. If you dont have airtools you may have to cut them off. Better to have new ones ready if this happens. I also changed the bumpstops with my new struts. The old ones were vaporized.

After backing out the allen bolt slightly (it will fall out if you go to far) I use a piece of wood on the piston and a c-clamp to carefully push the piston back. Remove the cap off the brake fluid reservoir before starting. You need to adjust the left and right rears separately with the allen...

thanks big Lou I'm going to try them.

the hid harness is securely attached. I thought maybe it was a powerflow issue. Saw some harnesses that hooked up the hid's directly to the battery, but wasn't sure if it worked for this problem.

Anyone else having a problem with this? I can see them flicker when I'm behind someone, but I can't tell if its happening at highway speeds. Did a search a came up with anti flicker capacitors. Has anybody tried them with success?

end links and sway bar links are the same thing. I didn't have air tools so I ended up separating the ball joints on the endlinks. With the exposed end I cranked down a set of vice grips. The vice grips would turn and hit the frame, then I was able to remove the nut with a breaker bar. The...

I installed the Excel G struts to all four corners. Car handles great again. Would love to have added Eibach springs but it was'nt in the budget. If your going to change them yourself, may I suggest you have new endlinks ready if you have to cut the old ones. It would be a good idea to change...

Is the Canadian version different than the U.S. Version? I believe that car is supposed to have side fender lights standard on 2003. Rims look like 02 version as well.
