Anyone local that's good at working on Protege 5's that would be willing to do some work for me? Please reply or PM if you can. Thanks. Here's a little background info on my issue. It might possible be the O2 sensor, or the cat. converter now...

I recently went to the dealer to get some work done on my P5, and one of the things they recommended I get done was a transmission flush($180). I ended up not doing it then, because back when the car had 48k miles on it, I got the transmission rebuilt, which of course meant new fluid at the time...

A couple of days ago my engine light came on. I noticed soon after that that the engine started to sputter a little, like I might have a vacuum leak or something. Everytime I took off from a complete stop, it seemed like I didn't have any engine power until it got up to about 3500RPM's, and then...

I need a set of the small black sail panels that clip on over where the factory tweeters are. Email me if you have a set for sale. Thanks!

Anyone have any experience with mounting a 7" or 8" set of mids in the front factory holes of their P5? I'm sure there'll need to be some modification, but I wanted to get real-time input from people who have actually done it. I'm running an active 2 way + sub setup, and I'm considering trying...

I've got an '03 Protege 5, and one of my two original power lock remotes stopped working. I take it into the local Mazda stealership, and the parts 'n service wench tells me it costs $108 to reprogram it. Anyone know of a way for me to reprogram it myself? Or a way to get it done for cheaper...

This weekend I made the swap. I stayed with the original 195/50/16, and after a couple of days, it already seems like the Kumho's grip the road a little better than the Toyo's.....especially going from a complete stop. Anyone else running Kumho's on their P5?

I'm not able to lock my car with the remote keypad anymore. Do I just buy a new one off of Ebay to replace it, or do I need to take into the local Mazda dealer and get it replaced?

What's the deepest I can drop in a 6.5" midbass speaker in my front doors without doing any cutting/modification? I won't be using an MDF or other baffle, either, just the factory spacers that comes with the mids. I heard a while ago that it's 3.5"....is that correct?

Over the past few days I've noticed that when I crank my system towards max volume, my sounds cuts in and out over and over again, and doesn't stop until I lower down the volume to 25 or less(max volume for my listening is 28). I've been able to crank my system at times turned up to 27-28 for...

I'm trying to get MDF baffles custom fit for my car, and the guy making the baffles for me needs to know a couple of specs about the P5's factory door speaker holes in the front doors. Can somebody help? Here's what he needs to know: 1. The distance from the door metal where the baffle...

I run 6 1/2" component speakers in my P5, and wanted to see if anyone out there does custom kickpanels for Protege 5's, or know someone who does for a decent price?

So a while back I purchase 1 set each of Satisfied Pro front and rear OEM pads for my P5, as seen here: http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brakes.jsp?&make=Satisfied&model=Pro+Perform+OEM+Pads&group=Pro+Perform+OEM+Pads&autoMake=Mazda&autoModel=Protege+5&autoYear=2003&autoModClar=&perfCode=P About...

I have one of each amp mentioned in the title, and wanted to get some opinions on which amp would produce a cleaner sound through a set of components in the front, and coaxials in the rear? Both amps in 4 channel spec are 100X4 @12 volts. Thanks!

I've had my P5 for a little over a month now, and I've seen some posts about people having/using overdrive on theirs, but I'm not sure if I even have it on mine. What's the best way to find out if I do? Where would the switch be located in an '03?

Anyone have any opinions on the oldschool Soundstream Reference 644S amps? I've got one that I'm thinking about installing over the next couple of weeks, and I just wanted to see if anyone either has one now, or has owned one in the past, and cares to comment on its performance. I plan on...

I'll be doing my first oil change since I've recently bought my 2003 P5 this weekend. The previous owner I bought it from used regular 5w-30 oil, but I would like to only put synthetic blend oil for every change from now on. Does it really matter whether I decide to put 5w-30 or 10w-30 synth...

I just bought my 2003 P5 over this past weekend, and would like to pick up a rear hatch cover and a cargo net. Both OEM would be preferred. Please get a hold of me via PM, or just reply here if you have either and we can discuss price (s). Thanks!

Hi! I'm new to the boards, and also new to my 2003 P5. :) I plan to have my own aftermarket sound system installed in my recently purchased P5, but I've got a concern with the amount of space my subwoofer is going to take up. I've already got the "stock" sub speaker in the tire well in the...
