    Rubber or Sound Dampening Floormats

    Weather Tech has the closest thing to "custom" rubber mats, and they cost 100 bucks for a set (front and rear). But they are the best out there. It pisses me off that Mazda makes all weather mats for every car besides the Protege.

    Are motor mounts covered under warranty?

    Hey guys. Because of the motor mount issues with P5's, I decided to take a look at mine, and sure enough the right front mount is toast. I can't really get a good look at the others, but there's a good chance one or more of the others is screwed too. Luckily, my P5 is still under warranty. Are...

    Motor knocking when cold, and my keyless entry is annoying.

    I do hit it only once, and the horn "chirps" when the doors lock. And it also does it hitting the button once to unlock it. Is there a way to fix it? Also, piston slap does not sound good. Is there a way to tell if that's the problem for sure?

    Motor knocking when cold, and my keyless entry is annoying.

    Ok, someone tell me their car does this so I can rest easy. When cold, the motor knocks when under acceleration up to about 3k rpm. It sounds a lot like a rod knocking, not really loud but noticeable. But after a few minutes after the motor heats up, it disappears. Is this normal? And I'm not...

    P5 audio, post your questions here.

    Cool, I'm ready to get started here soon, all I need is a good component setup for the front.....Just to be sure, the fronts are 6x8 correct? On a few other threads some have said they are 5x7. I think I'm going to go with some MB Quarts.....Will the tweeter from the components fit in the stock...

    P5 audio, post your questions here.

    How do you remove that piece? No one a said how to yet. :( Also, using the rear doors as a sub enclosure sounds like a good idea. Has anyone done this?

    P5 audio, post your questions here.

    Do they fit in the stock location? Using a stock (if there is one) crossover? And how did you install the 6.5's? I really don't want to cut up anything, and I don't want to use subs either, so I need some good bass producing door speakers.

    P5 audio, post your questions here.

    I'm getting ready to do some audio work on my P5, so I thought it would be cool to start a audio questions thread regarding the P5. P5 audio vets, help out the n00bs! OK, how the hell do you remove the silver fascia around the stereo and climate controls? Also, I know that the door speakers...

    Is Detonation common with P5's?

    I may just have to do this. Here in Florida it just gets too damn hot, and most cars will have detonation with 87. I just need to go to quality gas stations too......No more BP or Shell. Not many Chevrons around here though. :(

    Is Detonation common with P5's?

    Hmmmm. This makes me wonder because I went with NGK platinum rather than the standard plug. And I never noticed any pinging before I changed the plugs. Interesting. The weather here has been cool lately, so I won't know if the new plug wires helped until it gets warmer and I have to use the A/C...

    Is Detonation common with P5's?

    I've put new plugs in already, and I just got new NGK wires in the mail today. I know that a higher grade of fuel would get rid of it, but I'd rather solve the problem than just mask it with 91 octane. I want to keep running 87 if I can, especially with the gas prices going up. I'd like to...

    Is Detonation common with P5's?

    I have an '03 with 36k, and the other day I noticed pinging under acceleration. It was a fairly hot day and I had the A/C on so that could have something to do with it, but with under 50k, I was surprised to hear detonation this soon. There were two owners before me and I have no idea how it was...

    What Leather Interior will Fit in a MP5

    When I got my P5, I looked at a few before the one I bought, and none of them had leather. When I read in the add that mine had leather, I was kind of disappointed because I liked the cloth, and I wasn't sure if the P5 leather interior was any good because I had never seen it. I was pleasantly...

    SLS Performance Front Motor Mount

    I checked my passenger side mount and it's ripped with under 40k on the clock. Looks like mounts will be first on the list.....What is it with these stock mounts? Does Mazda even cover them under warranty? I'd consider just having them replaced under warranty, but if the OEM units are that...

    SLS Performance Front Motor Mount

    Hahaha. No, PVC will not work. Just go to Home depot in the plumbing area and buy a length of steel pipe. Shouldn't be more than a couple of bucks.

    Do P5's eat plug wires?

    I went ahead and ordered some NGK wires, only 30 bucks so why not. Can't hurt that's for sure.

    Do P5's eat plug wires?

    Since I live in Florida, heat is an issue. I suppose I'll worry about it if it starts running funny. So far the car is running great, no complaints. All I need is a roof rack and I'll be golden.

    Do P5's eat plug wires?

    I got my P5 about a month ago (great car BTW) and have been doing some maintenance on it to get it up to date since it's almost at 40k. I put in some new NGK's and when I took the old ones out noticed right away that they must have been the original plugs by how burnt they were......And then I...
