    Anyone know a good STL-area MO lawyer?

    ...specifically one that deals with tenant/landlord disputes? ...also hopefully one who is inexpensive, or willing to work with me on payment?

    We lost a fellow brother last night...

    I am 7-1/2 years behind the times here; I only just discovered this thread. And I don't really know what to say. I am not good with this sort of thing. But I don't care, I just have to say something. This happened long before I even got a Mazda, let alone joined this forum. But reading...

    JDM_Pro5's Build Thread

    Oh I know. My line of thinking had less to do with absorbing sunlight, and more with, does hi-temp exhaust header/manifold paint hold heat in like exhaust wrap does, or would it allow the heat to radiate out. Common sense is one thing, but a missing piece of information can screw even common...

    Ah okay. I'm not doubting you, I'm just learnin'. :)

    Is all that hi-temp exhaust paint going to affect the heat-exchanging ability of the FMIC?

    Someone rewired something?

    A/C light only comes on in position 1. I gotta get in there and do one or another of the A/C fixes. I saw your wiring-and-relay clusterCHuck (haha lol) in your rust-proofing thread, but I dunno if I'm *that* into it. I didn't have a working blower until last fall due to the common resistor...

    Someone rewired something?

    Kay, I got the wiring schematics from the FSM page (stickied at the top of this forum) and I've figured out which wire was apparently tapped/spliced. Appears to be part of the "Audio Unit" but I don't know enough about wiring schematics to be able to tell what is going on here. My best guess...

    Someone rewired something?

    So on my lunch break I took the chance to check out my fuses to see if maybe my A/C fuse was blown. It wasn't, and I can't figure out why my A/C compressor won't kick on, afraid I might need a new compressor. But that's not what I'm writing about. While I was down there in the footwell of my...

    is the mazdaspeed muffler for the P5 worth it.

    Yes, yes I am. Heck, even with a right-turn-on-red, you still have to come to a complete stop. A right-turn-on-red is, for all intents and purposes, a stop sign. Maybe your state does it differently, but I've gotten ticketed a few times in MO for rolling stops like that. I'm just tryin to...

    Caliper question

    Yeah, I made several edits as reading comprehension slapped me around. At some point I said heck with it, let it stand. (lol) I think that will be true, having to have 16" wheels. The caliper for the MZ6 brakes simply won't fit inside a smaller wheel. If getting new wheels is out of the...

    Caliper question

    I'd suggest getting the MSP rear calipers if you can. P5 calipers have a ridiculously stupid P-brake mechanism that is known to seize up. Frequently. They are also, in my experience, not always leak-proof. I can't say whether they're less leak-prone (maybe I just got a couple lemons in a...

    Protege5: Harder, not Smarter!

    Step 1: get that idea patented. Step 2: contact Mechanix and lease them the patent. Step 3: profit!

    505 Cold Air Box GB

    It's things like this, consistently, everywhere I see you on this board, that make me think you're a king when it comes to taking care of customers. All I can say is, don't worry so much about it. You're making 100% customized parts for a range of cars that never had this kind of equipment...

    is the mazdaspeed muffler for the P5 worth it.

    @6:24 - A stop sign is not a suggestion! (whistle) Seriously, though, I'm digging the MSP axleback. Wondering how much of a gain over stock there is and whether it's worth the tradeoff for the louder volume. I'm okay with loud but I live in an apartment complex and I'm considerate of my...

    AC Condenser Question

    I ran out and snapped some pictures of the condenser pipes in my 03 P5 with my phone. It has a decent flash, apparently. I'm pretty sure this one is the outlet pipe. I put this one up too, just in case.

    Shiva: the Cold Hard B$#@%

    So I spent much of the day doing some catching up on maintenance and such, finally got my brakes fixed (no more squeaking yay!), plugs, oil change, polished the old yellowed headlight to look closer to the new not-yet-faded one, re-installed the headlight bulbs so they're in correctly and point...
