    Rear Speaker Discussion

    I'd disagree somewhat with the bolded text. I upgraded my '03 P5 to a Clarion DXZ945MP, probably the best unit I've ever owned.

    Sway bars noise - '03 P5

    Anybody recommend a shop to get this fix done? I've heard it's a common problem through some reading...I hate the local dealership with a passion as they tried to screw me over on a water pump. Seems a bit poor that it's already worn at 135K?

    winter tires

    Anyone unloading a set of 15/16" rims/tires for a P5? I got a decent quote from one of my suppliers through work, but it's close to Xmas and a couple hundred saved could come in handy Cheers Semmy

    195/65/R15 winter tires.

    Would you attempt it?

    I mechanically adept but not experienced. I thank my last Civic for that, 10 years I owned it and the only things needing replacing were simple (rotors, plugs, rad, distributor, and CV joints). I already know that Mazda wants to charge me $200 for the water pump, which I can source for around...

    Would you attempt it?

    Not too sure, might be mistaken on what exactly they did (invoice is in glove box) but the squeak is gone so I don't care.

    Would you attempt it?

    First post, thanks for the opportunity, this forum is an amazing resource and very glad I found it! Took my P5 in to a d-ship for a reg service @ 92,000kms (60k miles), had a faint antifreeze smell after driving, a squeak in the front suspension when going over speedbumps (recently started)...
