Hi everyone. Not exactly a noob here, just haven't posted here in a while. I have an '03 P5 that I've been enjoying as a daily driver. It's completely stock except for aftermarket stereo system. Now that the warranty on the car is about to expire, I'm thinking of doing something I've...

I just had to share this with you guys & gals. Late Saturday night I was driving my P5 and had a sudden need for speed. So I picked up the pace and I noticed a pair of headlights trying to keep up with me. I stopped at a red light and this silver 2002 Corolla S pulled up. I knew it was an S...

Just wanted to ask..... At what RPM do you normally shift your P5 Manual? I normally use 3k RPM when I'm just cruising. If I want to pull away from traffic, I use 4k RPM in 1st to 3rd, then 3k to 4th & 5th gears. When I just want to check out I use 5k RPM from 1st to 3rd gears.

Okay. So here's a race the P5 won! Coming back to work from lunch, I always take some backroads from the beach (yes. I work near the Beach!). So, as I was leaving a stop sign, a Chrysler 300M came barreling up behind me and began filling my rear view mirrors. I shifted up to third and the...

Check it out, our P5 goes racing!

Okay, so the wife and I went cruising again this Sunday morning. The P5 was just newly washed and waxed by yours truelly and we were profiling down the Coast road. It was a beautiful day. Sun was out. None of that California morning s***-fog. On the way home I noticed this Miata behind me...

So I just finished breaking in my P5 and I decided to go for a day ride out in the countryside. I chose a bunch of curvy roads for lots of fun driving. It's so much fun driving in the twisties in a great handling car like the P5. Even my wife, who is normally pretty restraint was having fun...

I went to go visit my local stereo and custom wheel shop to inquire about a possible upgrade of my P5's sound system. Guess what they had in the shop? A 2003 Hummer H2 being fitted with a killer stereo AND these humongous 20" chrome rims with low profile Pirelli tires on it! Goddam ugly SOB...

Does anyone know the name of the race series that regularly features the Mazda Protege's? I saw one the other day in Speedvision totally by accident. The race had a bunch of Mazda Protege's and even a P5 in a variety of colors and wheel combo's. Very nice looking race cars. They also had...

I just want to say hello to everyone in this forum. I'm very new here and to the Mazda scene. I just got my P5 last week and have been enjoying it immensely. Below is a pic of my ride when my wife and I took her for a drive up in Palomar Mountain, located in northern San Diego, CA. So far...
