They are approx 12k miles old. I was getting a low RPM misfire in Cylinder 2 so I got a new coil pack and put new plugs in it. The plugs that came out sort of concern me. I don't know a whole ton about how they should look but I wouldn't expect them to be this beat up in only 12k miles. I...

Hey All, I've been chasing this issue for the past 5k miles or so but never really posted up so here goes. When I am in pretty much any gear except first, i get bucking under 2,000 rpm with part or full throttle. I have some pretty nasty speed bumps in my townhouse complex and normally roll...

Centerline Storms - 18x7 5x114.3 , based on their website +42 offset. According to http://adaptitusa.com/referencebook.htm It looks like an 05 STI and the protege5 have the same hub bore as well. Has 225/40/18 tires on it right now. I'm lowered on blues and eibachs. Will they fit without...

Easy Question: I have access to a few of the auto up/down switches at a junk yard that are for the drivers window. Could is possibly as easy as swapping switches for the other 3 to have them be auto as well? I haven't taken it apart yet but figured i'd ask first.

My heat shield is really starting to rattle. I fixed it about a year and a half ago but when i was under the car today is much more rusty then i remember. Is there a real downside to removing it? I have a header on with the stock exhaust if that matters. thanks in advance!

Hey All, For the past year or so I've been trying to track down the cause of a low RPM stutter that I get. It seems to only happen once the car is warm though. When I shift into 2nd/3rd/4th/5th and try to accelerate with the RPM's about 1300-1600 it bucks and stutters. No CEL or anything...

So this may be a stupid question but is there a difference in brand? Corksport has some that are their own house brand. They always have solid products but are 140$ ProtegeGarage has some Goodridge brand ones. I know protege garage sells stuff specifically for our platform and has good...

Hey All, I now have 3 burned out bulbs in my dash and its bad enough I can hardly see them at night. Time to replace them right? Yeah... I did some searching and found a bunch of threads with people replacing them but there were also a bunch of complaints about hot spots. Does anyone have...

Hey Guys, My current Kumho tires are shot. 30k miles for tires that were like 85$ each finally wearing down. They are on the factory rims and I was thinking about just upgrading wheels and tires. I am on tirerack looking at some Adventi Racing B2 Denaro's which are 17x7. They seem to be on...

Looks like you had some other stuff done, parked off 30 on the other side of york towards new oxford, anyone here?

Hey All, I am looking for a set of good condition yellow P5 side mirrors. I had to rush and get a set last year and they are black. I saw another yellow P5 today and want yellow mirrors again. Anyone have a set?

Hey Guys, I drove my car a ton and I love to listen to the radio. I was doing some cleaning on the car today and noticed that my factory antenna (whip style) is cracked badly at the base. I'm looking for a replacement now but I'm looking for one that won't cut down on signal. I've looked at...

I was driving into work today in a downpour and it seems like the shifter got much harder. It was like I was dragging the shifter through tar, smooth but very hard. This a known issue or just my car?

So I got sick of the factory sound system the first week I had the car. The door speakers were crap and I happened to have a set of older MB Quart 5x7/6x8 laying around from when I upgraded my contour. Put them in with the factory head unit and life was good. A few weeks after that I gutted...

I am always amazed when I fit big things in the back of this car. I bought all 3 parts of the toolbox while I was at work without thinking how I was going to get it home. When i looked over the dimensions of the box I was very nervous. Folded down both back sears flat and the whole thing fit...

I'm finally looking to do some legit audio upgrades to the P5 to bring it into the 21st century. I think I have the base work done, its just a matter of getting some new speakers. I'm looking to do some component upgrades in the doors, I just have some 5x7 MB Quarts in right now. They were...

I'm considering getting a set of the 17's in the stock silver to replace some 16" chrome p5 wheels that are getting worn. I did some digging through the wheel thread but didn't see a Yellow one with the silver wheels. I'm sort of torn on if the color will look good or not. Bonus points if...

I got one of the SLP fiberglass hoods with the functional scoop in it. The air is channeled back under the hood into a hole right above the airbox. I know I will need to cut a hole in the factory box to get it to work... but I'm looking for suggestions on what to use to seal the hole in the...

I'm looking for non-painted stock rims. Looking for the 5 spoke 17x6.5 ones for my p5. Anyone got some they took off for uber-cool black tuner rims?

I've been toying with the idea of making another cut out in the left side and running a pseudo-dual exhaust (mostly for looks). Any have a picture of something like that? I've done some searching and only come up with pictures of non-us spec cars with oval style exhaust tips. I know there is...
