ohh no, i didnt bother with the hubcaps the look of the steel rims doesnt annoy me too much, i know it winter, and winter is ugly anyway. plus the hubcaps will be something more to clean while washing the car and the black steel rims kinda match the car ( laser blue ) with all the black around...

yeah you guys are right, the side walls are a little bigger, but not by much, i got 195/55/15, the stock dunlops are 195/50/16, i think anyway, thanks guys, i'll keep the pressure at 32psi the mushy ride doenst bother me that much, just gonna take it easy on curves now, really dont want these...

another thing, i feel that these tires are bouncier. driving on roads that i drive on all the time, these winter tires seem so mushing. could be the presuure

hey, i just bought my 4 winter tires and rims, 15" micheling artic alpines, just wondering what pressure should i keep them at? im gonna be checking it regularly now because the temperature is really fluctuating here in montreal. right now they're at 30 psi, should it be at 32 psi like the all...

i heard that the 2002 models all have problems with the rear brakes. apparently , when you pressed the brake, and then released it, the rear pads would continue applying pressure on the disk, causing pre mature brake wear,and increased fuel economy. all dealers are fixing this problem when you...

i get that jerkyness alot too, while i put it in second to slow down using compresion, i'll often repress the clutch all the way down, and lift it up slowly as if i were at a complete stop to get on the accelerator again. if i dont do this, it makes me seem like the worst shifter in the world...

i was just really impressed after driving a friend's civic sir. its got 160 horsepower vtec, dont just look at the numbers, cuz it feels quicker , high revving and smooth of course, always gotta keep the engine speeds above 4000 revs too bad the protege5 doesnt have similar engine traits

sounds good cuz in the p5's class, ie. civic, corolla, they all use smaller engines which produce just as much horsepower they're more efficient too when it comes to gas

why doesnt mazda develop a variable valve system like honda's v-tec? or toyota's vvti? i'm sure it would improve efficiency, it would be smoother, and quicker too any ideas?

no no, this is no fan noise ,this is sucking slash grinding sound, hard to describe really

i keep hearing this "suction" sound which lasts roughly 2-3 seconds coming from the engine, only when the heater is on ( starting to get cold here in montreal) it happens whenever, while driving, or just idling is this just from the heating system? or something from the engien itself, anyone...

shaky idling happens to me often as well, but has never stalled for those of you who has had it stall, what does the mazda dealer say about this? what is the problem exactly? seems weird that so many people are having this problem

something about it that just makes me enjoy coming to a complete stop and a stop sign, and going into first, and i dont put in my faceplate anymore, the exhaust is the sound system for now also harmonizes when other cars with tuned exhaust , soo good

yeah it has broken in a little now. starting to get deeper and deeper. the intake idea sounds good, but how much power will i lose by taking off all the pipes that lead the "cold air" from outside to the filter box?

yeah i checked out the injen, my $$$ has run short from the racingbeat exhaust purchase. gonna have to wait till next year for the intake. Any way to get the stock intake maybe a little louder? i heard that theres a reasonator, which is like a muffler on the intake. supposedly takes away the...

i just got the racing beat cat back exhaust system installed for my p5. didnt take too long, only 4 bolts, and the rubber holders. Sound is amazing, i love it . only thing is it takes a while for the muffler to heat up i guess to make the sound on a cold engine, it will be mistaken as the stock...

whats up guys. I just got a ractive intake for my p5 just wondering if the mass flow sensor box must be placed with the square part on the top? does it matter if it's on its side,and the wire connecting to it is plugged from the bottom? This was the only way to properly secure it to the bracket...
