    All P5 auto transmissions the same?

    I was wondering if the manual shift option transmissins were the same as the regular autos. I would assume they are the same just controlled differently by the computer. Anyone know for sure?

    Free 2002.5 wheels W/peeling chrome

    I bought my P5 with these wheels and replaced them because the chrome is coming off. They would make great winter wheels. I would like them picked up. They wouldn't really be worth shipping. I am in Nashville, TN. PM if interested.

    Anybody done track days in an auto with manual shift mode?

    After making the mistake of trading my last P5 for an 02 SI, I went to look for another. About that time I shattered two bones in my leg in a motocross accident. So, I got an auto just to get back to driving faster. Anyway, it has grown on me. I am liking not having to hold the clutch in while...

    I might be coming back.

    Well, my last post was about me trading for a 2003 Civic SI. I was disappointed. It was a lot faster and looked good, but I didn't feel as connected like I did with the P5. Anyway, half a year later, I'm looking at P5s again. The problem is I had a bad motocross accident and am going to have to...

    I traded my P5, goodbye.

    Well, a while back I posted about a friend with an SI wanting to trade even. After six months I'v done it. I'll have to say the P5 is one of my favorite cars out of over 40 I've owned. It was a record for me to have it over a year and a half. But, it's time to say goodbye. I've enjoyed chatting...

    Thinking of selling the P5

    I think I am going to sell my P5. I was just wondering how much you guys thought I could get. It is clean with 165k miles. Timing belt just done. All stock except Tokico/Pro kit/Progress. 5 speed. I know nothing's selling right now, but I am going to get a Mazdaspeed. (No, I don't want to turbo...

    More miles = more power?

    I think the more miles my car has the more power it has. I know at some point it will reverse. I had a bike that made more power on the dyno when it had 50k than it did at 3k. So, I know it is possible. I guess it's all in how you maintain it. My car has 165k now and runs great! It used to feel...

    Mazdaspeed 17" Racing Hart wheels

    THESE ARE SOLD!!! These are straight with no bends. They have been painted this color, not the factory paint. I didn't paint them, so I don't know their process. The tires have less than 1000 miles and are almost new with no camber wear. They are Nexen N5000...

    Check this out.

    So, my right rear has been making noise over sharp bumps lately. Since I did struts and springs six months ago, I assumed something had loosened. I took out my interior trim because that is where it sounded like it was coming from and nothing was wrong. So, I started looking under the car and...

    WTB right rear trailing arm fo P5

    I think it is called the trailing arm. It is the piece that runs front to back that connects to the lower control arm. My car is a 2002 Protege5. PM if you have one. Thanks.

    Gonna change springs, again

    I have the Eibach Pro Kit right now, but I want it just a hair lower. Does anyone know what would be the next spring lower without going too low. Also, the back is lower than the front after installing a system. If you have any idea which would be best to keep it level and not go too low, please...

    Aftermarket belts suck!

    I have bought two different brands of A/C belts and they still squeak. If I tighten it anymore, it will have to do some damage. I guess I'll go to the dealer and pay three times the price!

    What color for the Racing Harts?

    Well, I decided to keep the Racing Harts even though they are heavy and the tires look like truck tires. I guess I'll get used to the look of the tires. Anyway, I am going to get them powder coated and can't decide on the color. Any ideas? I think I will go back towards a darker silver.

    Which looks better?

    I'm having a hard time deciding between the two. I'm not going to tell the brands of wheels, so I can get an honest opinion just by looks. They are the same weight and size. The silver wheels have a lower offset, though.

    MSP Wheels with 215/45/17

    I know this has been discussed a million times. But, I can get these wheels pretty cheap with new tires. I have a P5 with the Eibach Pro kit and it just seems like these would look like truck tires. Does it really look okay with this tire size?

    Fourth set of wheels?

    I started with stock. Then tried Ford Fusion 17s that were pretty heavy. Then Volk 17s that were a lot lighter, but I don't like the ride quality of the 17s. (I'm getting old) So now I bought these. They are the same size and weight as the stock, but a different look. I think they look pretty good.

    A/C light blinking

    My A/C light blinks, but only on fan position three. I've heard of people having to relace the switch. Is this the reason? The fan works fine, it doesn't change speed with the blinking light.

    Am I crazy?

    Let me start by saying that I am a big Honda fan. I know you guys don't want to here that. Anyway, I have a friend who has a 2003 Civic SI in perfect cosmetic condition and 20k less miles who wants to trade even for my P5. His car is WAY faster, but needs struts. My car has all new suspension...
