(Edit to add - just over 178k miles.) A couple weeks ago I started having a coolant leak problem. It's not a really heavy leak and it's only a few miles to work so I've just been keeping an eye on it and keeping it topped up, but last weekend, a ~26 mile trip required almost a gallon to refill...

I'm thinking about upgrading my video card setup. And I'm looking for some opinions. I'm currently using an XFX Radeon HD 7850 (1GB Core Edition). For 130ish bucks I can double up and crossfire it. Or for around 200ish I can get a Radeon R9 270X. My current game list includes Fallout 3 and...

Today, I am thankful that I'm an easygoing kind of guy. I saw this, shrugged, decided I'd take care of it tomorrow (since today is Thanksgiving, and if there's a tire guy at work today, s/he shouldn't be), and then decided to take pictures for the forum and facebook. Yeah, I'm kinda chill today.

Okay, first of all, do I seriously have to take off the entire liftgate interior panel and remove the lock cylinder just to change the stupid license plate lights? And second, are there any bolts or anything holding that panel on, or is it just a pull straight down and pop it loose all the way...

Not the bulb or the socket, but the clear plastic dome/lens piece that the bulb/socket twists into, which then "pops" into place above the license plate. Title specifies Protege5 but obviously, if the ones from a Protege sedan/MP3/MSP/some other vehicle will work, I will consider them also...

...specifically one that deals with tenant/landlord disputes? ...also hopefully one who is inexpensive, or willing to work with me on payment?

So on my lunch break I took the chance to check out my fuses to see if maybe my A/C fuse was blown. It wasn't, and I can't figure out why my A/C compressor won't kick on, afraid I might need a new compressor. But that's not what I'm writing about. While I was down there in the footwell of my...

So I spent much of the day doing some catching up on maintenance and such, finally got my brakes fixed (no more squeaking yay!), plugs, oil change, polished the old yellowed headlight to look closer to the new not-yet-faded one, re-installed the headlight bulbs so they're in correctly and point...

Spotted a really nice looking orange MSP going East on 370 in St Charles this morning, around 7:40. I think they got on at Elm. Was it someone from M247? I was the laser blue mica P5 that passed you, and that you subsequently passed as I prepared to exit.

Okay, this might be a little bit of a read, because it's a recurring problem that I've been trying to fix as the money was there to fix it. I promise I'm trying to keep it concise. (Ninja Edit for background info - 2003 MP5, MTX, stock except cheap Ebay SRI) About 2 years ago, I needed 2 new...

Spotted this on eBay just now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAZDA-PROTEGE-5-TEMPERATURE-AC-CONTROL-HEAT-01-02-03-/370448598975?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item56407507bf ...and the first thought that comes to mind is, "Oh please tell me this would work, bolt-in, in an American...

2003 P5, 99% stock + eBay CAI. The night before Halloween, I hit a deer. Driver front corner. Like so: (Okay, maybe the car WON the fight - she was in the hospital for a few weeks, but the deer didn't survive.) After the collision, my tail lights, turn signals, reverse lights, and...
