    So you want mudflaps on your Protege 5?

    Yeah I have heard both of these ideas too. Im sure both would work perfectly fine for our cars too.

    So you want mudflaps on your Protege 5?

    thanks! they are 17x7 wheels with a 42+ offset, the tires are 205/17/45. my fenders are actually grinded down, rolling them didn't do the job so I had to basically erase them. its not that my fitment is aggressive as much as the offset is too low. i still rub on my passenger side but not for...

    So you want mudflaps on your Protege 5?

    Good call about waiting until you get your spring installed. If you put them on before your drop you might have to readjust them. As for them being flexible what I said above was misleading. They are flexible but not nearly as flexible as the urethane ones. A good way to explain it is if you...

    30 MPG from Sportauto?

    ^^^You also live in warm weather year round. If you were to drive around up north here in the winter you'd be getting low 20s.

    Suspenision/Washer-mod help!

    Yea power tools would make doing this about 10x easier. Its not really hard to take the suspension apart its just tedious at times.

    Suspenision/Washer-mod help!

    Okay guys I need a bit of help. Today I changed out my rear strut mounts hoping it would help kill some of the noise in the rear over slow bumps/turns. I have tokico blues and an eibach prokit and have added the washers under the nut. Seems like even after going through all of it (roughly 5...

    does anyone now where u can buy the rain guards for a Protege5??

    I have the Wade visors you find on ebay. They go on with 3m double sided tape which a lot of people say is cheap, but trust me these things are top notch. If you put them on correct they won't go anywhere. I have tried to rip them off before and they won't budge. And even if by some freak...

    Mazdaspeed 3 motor + tranny swap in a P5

    one of these days some one has to do this and post how much it costs so i can make it a sticky, hopefully that will ward off all those who wonder haha. as cool as it would be (I mean our cars look better) its too much trouble. if you go to car and driver, they swapped a speed3 engine into a...

    CEL light???

    if the CEL came on after you installed the header its because you removed the stock header which houses a pre-cat. so essentially your second 02 sensor (before the mid-pipe) is reading that the airflow has changed since the cat is gone and is causing the CEL. it was inevitable so don't worry...

    Claudia's Makeover

    good work on the headlights. i know when i out rings on mine i was skeptical about how they would look but they really do a good job of accenting the front of our cars.

    Just lowering the front of my MP5?

    Definitely save up for a full drop. It won't look or drive right with just the front dropped.

    Protege 5 Pick up Truck

    AHHHH I think it's been like 2 years since anyone has posted this thing so its about due. The person who owns this has been trying to get rid of it for ages, and he even loaned it to a...uh...film company for a "scene" once. Needless to say this is most hated p5 in the world on this board, and...

    Opinion on these wheels?

    Here is the best I could find quickly. Its a RHD p5 with eibach springs on stock struts. I think this looks awesome and these look at tad big so the 17s will look great.

    Opinion on these wheels?

    im going rogue and saying i like the replica ms3 wheels and no you won't have any trouble with rubbing with them. I have seen them on other p5s before and really really like how they look on our cars. give the car a much sportier look without being obnoxious or out of place. I actually think...

    hey guys wanted to get 16X8's with +20 offset do u think i will be ok ?

    honestly those wheels will rub no matter what and will cause more problems than good. but if your minds made up your going to definitely get your fenders rolled or even completely cut and then they will have to be pulled as well (in the rear at least). then you will also need to run a decent...

    Hella SuperTones

    I have them and use both horns. You use the relay they give you but you also use the stock horn wiring as well. They come with directions I believe but there is a how to on another website I used. Both are helpful but its pretty straight forward with the directions they give. You are basically...

    Ohh Noo RUST!

    hmm you could go to a body shop and see what they think. but it doesn't look to bad. some of it looks like surface rust which can be sanded down to bare metal and painted. if it is bad you could also just get as much of it sanded off, use some body filler and be paint over it but the rust will...
