Black hides them too much for me. I was thinking silver before, but I found a can of paint I bought when I had my red mx6 just sitting here. It'll be a next weeken project anyway so i have some time to think about it

Ok, so im fairly new here, but not that new. ive had my car just over a year now, and my rusty calipers are looking pretty fugly now. I upgrade my rotors last fall, and it just makes the calipers look worse by comparisin. i have a couple thoughts and would like to know if anyone has done the...

It's defiantly more once it's warmed up. By the sounds in the last couple posts it sounds like the same thing. I kinda like the sound now and again. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to break something prematurely Thanks everyone

that was my suspision, i just wanted to verify, thanks for the help. Thats exactly why my cat needed to be replaced, i cracked after the first cat, i loved the sound personally, but the wife wouldnt like it too much lol however when the jerk drivers on the highway dont want to get out of my...

its not a crackle, its more of a pop it only does it when im cruising at a constand speed and RPM for a while, when when i down shift i get a bit of a pop, if i give it some gas its pop louder and scare pedestrians, im not too worried about the sound, kinda growing on me, but i dont want to...

Ok, so a few months ago my Cat converter cracked between the 2 cats, i got a repalcement that was extremly nice looking, but turned out to be poor quality, and even worse customer service after the fact ok, long story short, my cat clogged about 2 weeks after i installed it, and i lost all...

Have you painted this yet? Ive painted a few interior peices in the past, a couple tips i can share clean it really really well (dish soap and water) then greese and wax remover (you can get this at an auto body supply store) ive used rubbing alcohol as well (as we use it at work... we do OEM...

ok thanks, i did however find one caliper that had interchangable parts from protege 5 to MSP, would this be a mistake? either way thanks for the reply, remanned calipers arent all that expensive so i may just get them for peace of mind.

Hi, I recently bought a 2003 MSP and the rear calipers are shot. About 2 years ago i put re manufactured calipers on my 2002 Protege 5, and am parting that car out and scrapping it, my question is are my P5 rear calipers compatible with my MSP? i tried looking up calipers for my car, but for...

... what pieces?

Hmm, i really hate not habign the cruise, but i also have a P5 with a blown motor, i dont really want two cars in the driveway dead. i just got the car so i wanted to give it a nice long run on the highway, we also have a 2010 mazda 3 that we would probably just end up using on long trips...

Did the MSP ever have cruise? if not, would my Protege 5 cruise be swappable into the car? is there a reason they never had cruise? would ther ebe an issue if i put one in, wither from the P5 or an aftermarket kit? reason im asking is i just took my car on a 1000KM road trip and it was a PITA...

Hmmm Good to know. This is my first time with a MSP, and even seeing one up close, so im still finding out some of the differences. just took her on a nice lonk 1000KM drive yesterday, and she runs even better than before, turbo seems liek its spooling alot easier now, i dont know how long this...

yeah the car needed bushing i had to skip fixing them cause the shop got the wrong ones, and the dealer was insane pricing. willing to pay for them, but also willign to shop around lol. also, the axel back cant be any worse than what the last guy did, he cut the tip off with a sawsall it look...

the previous owner for some reason ripped the factory grill out, and replaced it with some mesh. I will replace that, prefered with the fiberglass grill that removed the mazda logo, i think it just looks clean second choice is a factory replacment grill, but temporarily ill just see if the...
