    2004 Protege5 Concept

    Just found te rest of the threads w/ this picture. I've got to give it some more thought... I'll wait for the pics from Geneva b4 I pass judgement. Civic still hasn't impressed me either. Not many others as well...local dealers will give one away.

    Yeah, it's a great looking car, and I wouldn't want thousands of people inside my car playing with all my stuff, but I question the point of having a car with all this to show off, and not doing it? Maybe rope it off so you can at least open the doors and let people see it. EDITED QUOTE I...

    Future mods for the P5 Big Ben, I will Cryo the entire engine, install con rods, do head work, cryo the trans guts, upgrade the half shafts, install a huge turbo and try for the kind of power that is in this 2.0. Reliable and drivable should be up to 375. This will be AFTER the auto show...

    A little more information... Hey ya'll. Big Ben and Pirana are right on target, this is a 2002 that Steve showed in '01 and '02. The car is not a dealer effort. Shawn built the black 4-door for Mazdaformance. I've taken the Pro5 and moved forward with the mods. I did get 50% of the mods...

    Removing the Roof Rack Mounts

    Razor, That's my P5. Kind of proud of it... Only if you have 8 uniterrupted hours should you start the removal of the the rails of the roof rack. The other pieces are called cross members in this part of the word and YES, GNs is right; they produce noise thus Mazda, as of now, is taking off...

    LSD Question

    Arkos, The directions and the install are straight forward. You might consider a street clutch while it's open. A little grinding of studs is neccessry but not tough. NOW, I bought the Quaife via Competition Parts at Mazda in the US. Note that the MazdaSpeed LSD is not a Quaife and thus I...

    INSANE Motorcycle

    I got to talk to one of the engineers while walking around the bike...yep, I make it every year! He demonstrated how the steering and suspension worked by leaning the bike. ALL 4 rims are independent thus when you lean they kind of "slide" over one another so the outside wheels drop to maintain...

    Removing the Roof Rack Mounts

    Actually, to completely remove the entire rack the headliner must come out and you must order the filler strips from Mazda. See pics. of US Spec P5 w/o... http://home.earthlink.net/~twc2814688123/index.html

    LSD Question

    I bought mine from Competition Parts at Mazda. It's a Quaife. It's not a direct bolt in project, tiny mods of a stud, but not too involved. Never on ice but dry is sweet...
