    Re-Polishing 02 Stock Rims

    I've looked all over this and other forums for info on stripping the clear coat from the 02 stock rims and re-polishing them. Has anyone done this. The clear coat is really flaking off on mine. I bought some aircraft stripper and some Adam's Polishes Aluminum Polish for after stripping the...

    Cel p0106 & p0300

    Ok boys and girls, I went to Autozone and pulled a P0106 and P0300 from my CEL. For the P0106 I've read that the EGR valve should be cleasned or that I might have an air intake leak. For the P0300 I've seen all sorts of things and I'm not really sure where to start. I'm about to replace the...

    WTB 03.5 Mazdaspeed Protege

    I'm looking in for an 03.5 MSP in good condition and under 90,000 miles. Lower is better obviously. Body needs to be straight and interior clean. Little to no curb rash on the rims. I'm not too concerned about mods to the engine as long as it's reliable and I won't have to sink a bunch of...

    Head Rebuild and Cams.

    I will be rebuilding the head on my 02 p5 in about 2 weeks. I've been reading and searching about putting new camshafts in while I'm rebuiling it to give it a bit more power and torque. What cams do you suggest and where can I get them? Are the MS cams a good choice? Will they give me any...

    Tranny Swap? Auto for Auto-Stick

    I have an 02 P5 Auto and was wondering if anyone has ever heard of or seen someone switch to the auto-stick transmission? Is it even possible? I know what you're going to say, "Why not just convert it to a manual?" It's my wives car and she doesn't like manuals as much as I do. I would like...
