Apologies for thread hijack but it seems this ones concluded.. I hope @TheMAN will entertain me as most of my info came from his ancient posts on here ha ha. Guys an encyclopedia and lots of these cars are still out there in good condition. I bought an '03 Protege5 with a "JDM" engine swap but...

Follow-up; Its a success! I used an eBay clockspring for a Mazda3 (BP4K-66-CS0) inplace of (CC43-66-CS0) and my Code19 was fixed! I turned the engine on and off a couple times to cycle the SRS check the car does and nothing. My horn going out was because of a fuse going bad, I fixed that before...

Thanks for the reply. I see new 23$ Mazda3 ones online. I did note the part number differences. Steering wheel looks to be the identical too, used Google image search since i don't know anyone with a 3. same buttons in the same places. Good enough for me to roll the dice on a 20$ part just...

Question; Will a Mazda3 Clockspring work in a 2008 Mazda5? Dash shows Code19 and my OBD2 tool shows B2232 Airbag Circuit Open - Loop#2 Front Driver Side and B1318 Low Battery Voltage Horn doesn't work now but always sounded weak ever since I bought the car a year ago Mazda5 springs cost 5x...

The worst thing happened today, gaiz

Thanks, fellas. I'll pick up a 2.5l. The van has too much potential to let go over a bad motor.

Wow! Reading your post and hardships.. seeing your pics of your M5 build, damn dude this is inspirational. All I've done to my '08 Sport is put on those turbine style Mazda6 rims because i thought they looked cool.. I want to put fogs from the T or GT asap.. You say swap a 2.5L.. Can you use...

I've been spaying PB Blast on a few stubborn bolts on that exhaust so haven't been on here but thanks for the info. I was also reading about EGR Valve related threads on here and was considering deleting it but now I don't want to. Every modification I make to this car someones likely talked...

I do not want to thread-hijack but better that than start a whole new one so here goes; I bought a steel exhaust header and noticed that the post cat O2 Sensors' wire is grounded to the cat or the wire is attached to the cat so the wire doesn't move around as the cars in motion or to simply...

I may have access to a mini garage with an old-timer and assistant. He just bought a 76/77 (can't remember the year) K5 Blazer and is in the process of fixing that up. Rust isn't bad. I'll see what i can do about my donor cars. MEANWHILE. Neighbor up the street left his Miata's droptop down and...

Thank you PCB for the insight and MP5 wisdom! I haven't been here long at all but I see your posts appear in alot of topics on questions I have and can tell you're a guru. I'll dig into that thread for information on trans swaps and I'll heavily consider acquiring that 5-speed or another manual...

Slightly off topic but, if I may ask; is there any documentation of someone swapping a manual 5-speed into an automatic P5? I have a couple doner cars and am considering. (the black car in my signature link is my target manual transmission) My real question is; is it practical?

Them new Corolla's are nice but the P5 has the wagon appeal to me.

I use 205s like all the cool kids do. I so regret not buying steelies a couple months ago. Dude had 4 for 100$. They were 14 inch rims and 70 on the tire wall if I remember right. I've owned my P5 since April and didn't put alot of emphasis on extra wheels. If winter pisses me off this year I'll...

Someone told me that citys use calcium instead of salt on the streets during winter, is that true? Would that put less emphasis on winter-prepping your car if you use all-season tires for some snowy road control rather than full winter tires for max control?

First thing I don't know a damn thing about kits other than how to install a bumper BUUUUUUT I did look up some bodykits (I was bored okay) Google image search " Mazda Protege5 Duraflex B-2 " I saw it on some site called bodykits.com but I would check duraflexbodykits.com first. They have pics...

I had the same thing happen to me, Code 26 to be precise. To fix it I literally just unplugged it and plugged it back in underneath the seat. Its been over 2 months now so that solved it. Connectors may just be dirty and dust particles must've gotten in over time. I hope yours is just as easy...
