    Mazdaspped 3 rims on a P5 ?

    You will rub regardless, 18x7.5 is the widest you can go without rubbing and with 215/35/18 tires otherwise you will rub the shock with anything higher than 35 series tire. You will rub on the fender with that much positive offset and that wide of a wheel

    im afraid my car will go bye bye

    Well it does cause that when it is your ac compressor or other component failing or seizing. It causes a moment on the pulley on the crankshaft causing the timing to be off, thus misfire and gasoline blowing into the catalytic converter. Mine was my ac compressor seized.

    im afraid my car will go bye bye

    My car did this when I had a belt slipping really badly, this cursed the engine to drop in rpm and run lean. Dumped a bunch of gas into the pre cat causing it to overheat and ultimately caused it to fail. Bought some box header and de fouled the O2 sensor. Car runs amazing ever since. If you...

    im afraid my car will go bye bye

    Our cars have a low oil pressure dummy light. In my experience if the car is really low on oil, the oil pressure dummy light will come on, or flicker around fast corners. I don't think you ran out of oil. Sounds like something else to me.

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    I looked at those, even with my 18's I could be slammed and never rub, but in utah with all the snow plows there are constantly pot holes. I didn't want to be so low that I could physically hit any other component on the under body.

    Looks like either a leaky valve, definitely burning oil from somewhere. These engines are so easy to fix/replace you could go that route. They are inexpensive to replace the entire motor too...

    car won't start. need help please.

    My water pump seized on the freeway and broke the belt off, I was able to replace the pump on the side of the road, taking the timing belt off and all, in less than 3 hours. I would imagine a head gasket is not a job for the faint heart in this car. I looked at it a while back when I wanted to...

    Yes, I do Carry a full tool set in my car, however I did get some loaner tools from the autoparts store. Yes you do have to remove the timing belt in order to replace the water pump. As long as you don't move anything while taking the timing belt off, you'll have no issues. I replaced the...
