That was indeed the one I installed. I found it on car-part.com along with a pic of the donor car, so I knew it would be an actual MP3 ECU. (Some of the parts listed on that site with MP3 ECU part numbers may not actually be MP3 ECUs based on engine size or the Description provided by the...

My passenger window was smashed in when my P5 was just a year or two old and they stole my gym bag fully of sweaty clothing. Safelite came out to replace my glass and as part of that, the "technician" slammed my door really hard repeatedly to shake out any remaining glass until I asked him to...

RockAuto is great. I've bought Hitachi coils, a Sachs clutch kit, and KYB struts from them. Yeah, I can sadly see that happening on eBay. When I've bought from them, the parts were always branded so I felt comfortable (DENSO O2 sensors, genuine Mazda "NOS" end links, Beck Arnley LCAs). This...

They seem to be steel if my my fridge magnets are to be believed. I've seen too many fitment problem reports with engine mounts alone on this forum to trust the low-priced parts and kits on eBay or Amazon. Just a few days ago, I spent two hours squished behind my buddy's fridge, drunk (he was...

Drove my black '03 P5 to a local Mazda dealer in Irving today because a Mazda Master Technician there has black '03 P5. :) He has been contemplating a JDM engine transplant and I wanted to show him mine. Spoiler: Not much to see; it's a JDM FS-DE. :D Oh, and I ordered one of these this...

OK, done. I ordered the Beck Arnley LCAs and got them for a good price. The model numbers for the parts I got have been superseded by newer ones, so maybe these NOS parts have a better chance of being relabeled OEM since BA did that more in the past than now. (Hey, a guy can dream...) Picked...

It looks like the ball joint boot on the passenger side is torn almost all the way around and the driver's side one has only a small split in the boot. The car drives well now with its new end links and I could probably get away just buying new ball joint boots, at least for a few years. But...

Went for a drive this evening and didn't notice any pinging even going up a hill, so I may need 91 octane with this JDM engine as others have said. I'll go back to 87 on the next fill-up just to verify that the pinging returns, and then I'll test using mid-grade. It's $.60 difference between...

Thank you for mentioning that.. I noticed a while back that it was a bit sticky to the touch. If I still hear pings while mounting my reference hill tomorrow this will be the next thing I replace. Also, I added a pic to my last post above in case you're curious. :) I can't find much out...
