    NEW!! Alpine AM/FM/CD In-Dash For Sale

    1st.. if you want to remove this post, that's cool. I've already got the same post in the For Sale section, which is where this one should've gone in the first place. To be honest, you probably know more about car stereos than I do. I happen to be selling this product and simply using the...

    new to board

    Welcome to the board, Greg. Check the highways near Attelboro, or even the Emerald Square Mall, for a black P5 with a Cartman sticker on the rear glass. That's me!

    Meet

    Hey fellas, I'm up for another meet. By the time it gets organized I may very well be working at the Mazda Gallery here in Norwood, MA. Maybe I can get some promotional stuff to hand out, if anyone's interested. Later!

    Hows this white on white p5 look?

    White on white looks great, much better than the silver stock rims. Tell you somethin else too... those 18" rims, as opposed to the 16", solve any problem of needing to drop the car down. Of course now this brings the following question to the forefront... what are everyone's thoughts on...

    Road block....

    I brought my Black Mica P5 through a car wash one time, and the guy who appeared to be the manager asked me if I liked my new Lexus. I was proud to turn around and tell him it was actually a new Mazda! ;)

    Smash the windshield and have your insurance install a new one. :)

    Freebies from Mazda

    A month or so after I bought my P5, Mazda sent me a little care package which included the blue LED keychain light, a Protege5 flip book with semi-detailed specs, and a customer satisfaction survey. I may have gotten a few coupons, but that package has been slowly spreading across my bedroom for...

    Pick my color!

    Bronze rims?? Yuk! Matt, go for Black Mica. It matches everything else on the car much better than the other colors offered.

    Our bumpers are GOOD!

    Anytime you get rear ended, you always report it immediately to your insurance company and make sure the police do a detailed report <B>at the scene</B>. I was stopped in traffic at a red light when I had my 1994 Honda Prelude, and got rearended by some absentminded broad in an Expedition. Hit...

    Welcome to the forum everyone! I've never been a fan of the Focus styling, and it annoys me that for just a few thousand dollars more than my P5, I could've had an SVT Focus with the 170-hp 2.OL 16-valve DOHC Zetec engine. (Mind you that's 170-hp <B>without</B> turbo.) But it would've been...

    dropping gear?

    Harder driving will wear out parts sooner than "normal" driving but, unless something was weakened or damaged before you went speed racing, you shouldn't feel any difference after just one time doing it. If you make a habit of it, though, bad things might happen. From what I've gathered, our...

    bad vibrations first thing in the morning

    Where are you fellas finding these TSBs? I went to alldata.com and they have nothing on the 2003 Mazda cars. I wouldn't imagine a TSB on the 2002 model would suffice...
