Stopped in a engine shop that does machining and the owner listened as I explained the problem. He measured the new spacer and old spacer hub-centric ring I provided and cautioned against modifying the new spacer until I had thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned the rear hubs. They were kinda crusty...

Damn, not gonna be plug-n-play like I hoped. Thanks for the info and now gotta research a local engine/machining shop.

Bumping after the last post was over 16 months ago. 😲 Attempting to upgrade to 12mm spacers and having issues with fitment on rear hubs...

Adding a can of Sea Foam to your fuel tank is fine. BG 44k fuel system cleaner is also a very good product to use annually. BG 44k Platinum

Mazda has been considered a 'niche' brand by many other vehicle owners. I've owned Mazda Proteges since 1992 and love them for their body design, handling (Zoom-Zoom), and reliability. I always love seeing Proteges and MP5s still on the road and chat up the owners when the chance arises.

Why not indeed? I love the story of the NFL running back, 1st played for Redskins, who had his hand-me-down 1990-ish Mazda6 restored to factory condition. It was NOT cheap but he kept it to remind himself of how/where he started his journey. I just need spare time & money to restore my 92...

Sweet find MazdaVelo! It's nice that you know & appreciate the value of an older 'unmolested' base Protege that will last and continue to run soundly with minor maintenance.

I didn't 'do' anything to her today but I'm teleworking in the garage [only place I'm allowed to smoke] and am looking at her and considering 12mm spacers vs. the 10mm already on.

Just rolled over 55k so fresh oil & filter, rotated tires and cleaned the K&N filter. No other problems or issues noted. :)

Just changed the coolant and I really did nothing to her other than take a pic as my odometer rolled over to 54k miles.

Checked fluid levels and tire pressure before I got to drive mine today after being in a r/shoulder sling for seven weeks after surgery. She still makes me smile whenever I take her out for a bit of driving.

Just maintenance stuff like rotated tires, new battery (six years old), wash-n-wax and able to get the sagging rear skirt fixed.

Oldie but a goodie bump; any recommendations on the best double-sided tape to use e.g. 3M automotive tape vs. gorilla tape?

Lifesaver and thanks for posting these helpful links Xeler8ing! Photobucket blows...

Got this issue fixed using a bracket I got from a dude I found on the MX-3.com site who's made them in the past. Dropped gear shifter: Bracket: Installed: I did not have to drop the exhaust but I did disconnect the extension bar assembly so I could R/R the plate the plate to drill...

Those speed3 wheels look very good on the P5. Hard to believe the car's over 14 years old.
