You're right, that's a pretty bad pic. Here's a clearer one that still kinda sucks. lol. Volk LE37T 114.3, 18x7.5 +48 offset, 215/40 tires.

Thanks, CT! I've thought the RF was good looking since the 1st time I saw a pic of one. With these finance rates, now seemed like the time to pull the trigger. It's technically our daughter's car, a graduation present and something reliable for her future college days, but you can bet I'll be...

I've been using Castrol GTX since I started driving and it's treated me great. No oil quality issues in any of my cars ever. Plus rotary engines burn oil as part of the combustion and GTX leaves no ash or carbon deposits. Of the two in the poll though, I don't think it matters much because...

My solution is to hate that piano black junk. It's all over my Golf R and it sucks the biggie. Fingerprint magnet, easily scratched, reflects sun into your eyes, gets so hot in the sun you can fry an egg on the center console, now yours is squeaking and rattling. 👎 How did we regress from...

I'll be back in the family soon. We ordered a white RF Club with the brembo package and it should be here by the end of the week. This will be our 3rd Miata. Stoked!!

Once you're done with the rear facing one, Simpson makes a racing seat for kids. 👍

From here: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/mazda-mv-the-same-as-mercon-v.324121/ Also check out this bottle of tranny fluid. It give you an idea of what's compatible with M-5. Don't fall for branding tricks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMNmlRV3Lj4

Mazda's OEM M5 oil is what's recommended. M5 is compatible with Mobil1 Full Synthetic fluid, which may be a little cheaper and easy to find. ATF M-V is what you're looking for. :)

The golden rule when buying wheels: Cheap, lightweight, strong. Pick two

For me, it had nothing to do with the next owner, it was about taking care of my 16,000 dollar investment (Yep, that's what a new Mazda Protege5 cost in 2002). I don't want to sit in worn out, dirty seats and screw sitting in dog hair and beach sand. By the time I sold the P5 it was worth about...

The precat is located directly after the exhaust manifold with an 02 sensor plugged into it. It keeps the exhaust clean until the car warms up and the main cat begins to work, extending the life of the main cat. My 1993 RX-7 came with a precat so they've definitely been around for awhile. I'm...

Have any of you guys tried an auto broker? A friend of mine sent me to one when I was planning on buying my Protege5. He took the dealer's price, added a flat 200 bucks and gave me the car for a better price than any of the dealerships around. It went so smoothly I've never been to a dealership...

Read my 1st reply. To make the thread searchable. One less thread full of people posting but adding no real input...Like you just did again.

Over a year and no one linked a set of rotors to the guy. Or made it clear that when your brake pedal vibrates it's warped rotors. A least this thread is worth reading in a search now.

If your brake pedal is vibrating when you step on the brakes, you need to either resurface the rotors or buy new ones. You can get a set of rotors for 100 bucks or so. :) A custom big brake kit will cost just about 10times that. These guys have treated me great over the years...

Yes they are if you have a way to cut it off real quick. That CatClamp link I posted seems to have good reviews. Also, all cars with OBD2 have both pre and main cats. (y)

I put Wet Okole neoprene seat covers on my Protege5 when I bought it in 2001. 15 years later I sold the car and the seats looked new. In fact, the seat covers were still in such good condition, I rocked 'em on my Mazdaspeed protege for another 5+ years of surfboards, dog hair, weed ashes and...
