    Winter Performance

    I am curious as to what everyone thinks of the winter performance on the final generation Protege and Protege5's. I have owned my 5-speed 02 Protege5 for 3 winters and have found it to be an awful car in the snow. I even put snow tires on in my first winter with the car and the traction was...

    Factory Alarm Horn Honk / Light Flash

    My lady friend has a 2004 Mazda 3 S loaded up with the factory alarm. When she first bought it 3 or 4 months ago, she could press the lock button twice and it would honk the horn and flash the lights. Now, a week or two ago, it does neither but the car still locks and the red light flashes on...

    WTB: VTCS Solenoid Protege 5

    Might be a longshot, but perhaps some of you that have gone turbo don't need yours anymore. Let me know if you have one and if you can shoot a pic of it and post that'd be great! Throw me some offers if you have one.

    HKS Springs

    Just showing how these springs look on a P5. Perfect drop for me. From what I can tell the HKS Springs are only made specifically for the P5. It's advertised as 1.25" front and .98" back.

    Heat Shield

    Is there any potential issue if I take my stock heat shield off my stock header? The thing rusted through around the bolts and rattle when I'm starting the car and it's just annoying enough for me to want to do something about it :)

    Clutch Chatter!!!

    I have some pretty nasty vibration (which I assume is clutch chatter) when taking off from a stop, but only after continuous driving of 30 minutes or more. The only way I can get a reasonably smooth takeoff is to rev it (2k ish) upon takeoff. Does this sound like a clutch problem, or is it...

    WTB P5 Specific Lowering Springs (Tanabe Normal Feeling Preferred)

    Just like the title says, I'd even be willing to take just the fronts (or rears depending on brand / drop) off your hands too if that's all you have. Post or shoot me a PM with the pics of what you have!

    Tokico Springs on P5

    I read a few posts down that someone was informed that the complete tokico hp strut / spring combo kit will look lower in the back than the front, but is that also true if I have tokico hp's designed for my p5 installed already and can get the tokico springs separately? Just looking to get a...
