    WTB: '03 P5 Wheels or '03 MSP Wheels

    If anyone wants to part with some '03 P5 stockers (with or w/o tires) or some '03 MSP wheels (w/o tires), let me know. I'm only interested in rims that are in perfect (or almost) condition... no curb rash, major scratches, etc. Feel free to PM me a price shipped to 94560. Cheers!

    Mazda 6 Rims on P5 with 215/45/17's ???

    I'm trying to see whether Mazda 6 wheels will fit on the P5 with 215/45/17 tires. I've seen members with 215/40/17's. Anyone know whether this combo works? Does the 60 offset cause a problem? I read through Rischie's guide, but I'm not finding an answer. Thanks in advance, Shaun

    WTB: OEM Wheels for '03 P5

    Looking for a set of 4 OEM rims (2003 or 2003.5) for the P5 that are in really good condition. Local would be great (S.F. Bay Area), but I'm willing to pay for shipping. I'll buy stock-sized tires too if there is plenty of tread left. Thanks!

    Autolite = Crap??? NGK Cheapies Save The Day!

    All of my tools are boxed up in storage, so I decided to let a local shop change out my spark plugs since it was overdue for a swap. I had those expensive-ass Denso Iridium plugs in the car before this. When I got the car back, there was a slight intermittent shudder at a rough idle and when I...

    Will This Work??? (Racing Beat)

    A friend of mine had the Racing Beat cat-back exhaust on his P5. He replaced the muffler and the axle-back piping, but kept the other pipes. He said he'll give me muffler, so my question is this: Will this Racing Beat "axle-back" fit on my stock P5 pipe?

    Any info on N/A Piggyback?

    Anyone know if Perfworks is still working on a piggyback for those who will remain n/a? I e-mailed him about it, but I haven't gotten a response. Thought someone here may know something. Thanks.

    THE MAN's CEL fix for ECU swap

    Found this on a search. (On this site, not the "other" one) Hope THEMAN doesn't mind. This is in reference to the CEL when a P5 ECU is installed in a MP3. "it can be fixed with proper electrical know-how. you'll need to get a VTCS solenoid and hook it up straight to the ECU at pin 73 for one...

    MSP Tire Height on Stock P5???

    215/45/17 on Stock P5??? I have access to the MSP wheels/tires combo for my P5. The stock MSP tires are 215/45/17. How is this going to look on a P5 without aftermarket springs? I know Rishie's fitment guide recommends "40" and not "45." I was thinking that "45" would be better for someone...

    Throttle Cable?

    Would tightening the throttle cable improve throttle response greatly? I know the P5's aren't the most responsive cars on the planet, but there is a ridiculous delay from the time I press the accelerator to the time it decides to actually accelerate! It has improved somewhat with the...

    Throttle Response Fix? Will this work for our Proteges?

    www.mazda6club.com/forums/read.php?TID=4787 A lot of us complain about the lag in throttle response, so I was just wondering if this guy's theory applies to our cars. Does our manifold need this grounding wire? Anyway, the thread is interesting. Thanks!

    Got the IS300 Rims!

    Drove down and picked up the Lexus IS300 wheels w/tires for $575 from a guy I found on a Lexus forum who lives in San Diego. He took them off his car the day after he bought it and replaced them with 18"s. I have to get the centerbores to 67.1mm on Thursday. The centercaps have the chrome...

    Replacing Center Caps??

    Excuse my automotive ignorance, but I have a question. I'm thinking of putting the Lexus IS300 rims on the P5. However, I think it would look really lame to have the Lexus "L" on a Mazda car. I also think it looks foul to not have center caps at all. So, my question is: Can I replace the...

    "Click" from AT shifter when braking? Is this normal?

    Am I losing my mind? This morning I hop in my car and turn it on, then depress the brake to prepare to back out. I realize there is a loud "click" when i hit the brake pedal. I swear I have never heard this before! When in park (with the ignition on), is there supposed to be a rather loud...

    Hello, - Long-time listener, first-time caller! Just wanted to know if putting the Injen heat shield ($50) or E-bay cheapie heat shield ($25 or less) around the filter of the AEM short ram would help with performance and engine heat issues?
