Car: 2002 Mazda Protege (Auto Transmission) Code: P0705 Transmission Range Sensor Circuit malfunction (PRNDL Input) Symptoms: Auto-Transmission light comes on and blinks on and off. CEL also on. Engine power dies completely, and gas pedal needs to be floored to move the car. After turning off...

a while back (long long time ago) i saw a pic on here of a protege 5 with a two tone paint job... it was black on the bottom and red on the top (cant remember exactly though). anyways, it always stuck in my mind as being one of the nicest color schemes i'd ever seen... trouble is i cant find it...

Finally got some pictures taken. Its really dirty (as all black cars are I guess...). It has also been through a snow storm and a lot of rain since I washed it last. I'll be tinting the windows some time in the next few weeks and I think I might powdercoat the rims either black, white, or...

Well, a while back, my P5 was totalled by tennis ball sized hail (or baseball/golf ball sized, whatever). I put up a thread here, and a lot of people wanted to see pics. I didnt have them then. I got them a while back but was too busy to put them up, so here they are:

I put a Racing Beat Catback on my P5 a few weeks ago, and just 3 days later my car got caught up in a hail storm and was totalled. I am looking to sell it now. I really didnt want to ship it out to anyone (the shipping cost will make me lose a lot of money, money that I need to put towards a...

Well, it happened. My car is officially totalled from the terrible hail storm two weeks ago. It really is a mess. As you all know I just put the RB exhaust on about 4 days before it happened. It will be unlikely that I'll be buying another P5 so the exhaust might be for sale. I want to cut...

I feel really bad posting another thread, but.... I usually am over in the P5 forum. I figured i'd come over here to get some differnet opinions. My P5 was recently totalled (or so I think) from a really bad hail storm. So I need to find a new car. I wasnt reall considering the Mazda6, but...

My car is probably totalled from the hail and I was looking for suggestions as to what type of car to buy with the insurance money i get for my car. I am expecting to have about $16500 to spend. I was thinking of getting a used car (maybe a 2001 or 2002) but I mainly want something with low...

Yes, I think it is gone :( A huge hail storm came through today with golf-ball to baseball sized hail. Pretty much every car in my college is totalled from the damage. My damage includes 50 or so dents on hood and roof; broken windshield, sunroof, and rear windshield broken right taillight...

I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what comes with the Racing Beat cat back. I was gonna order one and am wanting to know everything that it comes with so that when I receive it I will know that everything is intact. Specifically, the # of bolts the # of nuts the # of gaskets instructions...

I was hoping to order the RB cat back for my P5 soon. Only problem is: I am not too sure what the tip will look like. I found multiple pictures on the forum that look different. Some have the "double tip" that is similar to the stock tip - essentially a thin metal pipe with the thicker RB...

Hi, I have a 2003 Protege 5. I recently heard about a club at my school that does motor sport events, including auto crossing. I already wanted to gear my mods in that direction, because I know the car will never be that fast on the drag strip. It's strengths are in handling, so that's what...

I have searched and searched this forum and cannot find a SINGLE sound clip for the Racing Beat catback. I have seen many people ask for one, but they have never received on. When I say Racing Beat Catback, I do NOT mean the mazdaspeed axle back. I don't mean the MP3 exhaust or any MazdaSpeed...

A while ago I was looking into the Magnaflow cat-back exhaust. No one anywhere seemed to have a dyno of it, so I emailed them and asked them about it. I was really hoping to see a dyno of the exhaust because I had heard that the numbers were +8.1 hp and +10.2 ft-lbs of torque. These numbers...

I thought that it would be a good idea to start a thread where people with the sportshift AT post up anything related to how they drive it. Your suggestions can include how to launch, where to shift, how to shift, how to shift before turns, etc . . . Whatever you can think of that you do with...

I've waited a long time to post this. I have searched for hours looking for my answers but have resorted to posting a new thread with my questions. I'm really looking forward to getting a cat-back for my automatic tranny P5. I initially was looking at Team Moon, but heard that they stopped...

Well, I did a lot of looking around today. I went up to Rich Mazda and test drove a 3. (my mom was thinking of getting one). It is probably faster, but in my opinion the P5 is still way better. I think the 3 was less responsive and it really felt like it was too bulky. It almost felt like I...

what's up. I finally joined this site, I've been reading it for months now but finally decided to start an account. I know there are only about four of you here so I figured I'd let you know that there is now one more. I've had my P5 for about 14 months now, no performance mods yet only...

Does anyone know if there are any seat covers made for the protege5s (or any car, for that matter) that have side airbags? I want to put in the seat covers for the accent colors and the bucket-seat look, but it would not be safe in an accident (the side airbags come out of the seats). Any ideas?
