Hello fellow Mazda friends! I want to do a bugger brake upgrade and have seen a few threads talking about mazda6 rotors and calipers working. Is this true and if it is what do I need from the mz6 to have functional brakes on my Protege5? Side note: I am running 16 rota wheels, Fitment issues...

I have 2002 MP5. When I bought it from prev owner I removed the luggage carrier cross bars as had no need for them then plus it had been cannibalized to make it fit. Now I want it back on and have put it together, figured out what parts I need and that they are hard to come by. However my main...

Apologies in advance if this kind of post is not permitted, please delete if so. I had the engine swapped for a Japanese lower mileage engine because the pistons rings were shot and the engine was burning oil. However prior to finding out about the piston rings being the culprits of the oil...

I swapped my fs-de motor for my now fs-ze motor. Everything worked fine, except the engine I got had a cracked intake manifold. Also, I need a new way with the wiring harness obviously. My problem is finding all go these parts for the fs-ze engine specifically. I can find all kinds of parts for...

I bought a 2003 Mazda Protege5 from my friend. When i got it there was a rough idle. The RPMs would flutter between 1000 and 0. I got the codes read at O'Riellys and got Random Misfire, Misfire in cylinder 3 and one i can't remember but it's only offered solution was to replace the Idle Air...

Weird noise and hazards wont stop?? I was sitting in my car and out of nowhere it starts making this god awful buzzing noise, I disconnected the battery to get it to stop and when I reconnected it the noise was still going. I stared the car and now the hazards were going off. I hadnt pushed a...

Hello Folks! I'm Riot Polizei, a college student in his twenties who seeks to document maintenance and upgrades here from time to time. Pleased to meet you! I look forward to many positive exchanges of information. Not too long ago, my last car, a 91' 4WD Suzuki Sidekick, died. No matter how...

Great condition 2003 Mazda Protege5 5-speed manual. Original owner and non-smoker. Lightly/tastefully modified. Very clean interior. All maintenance performed early/on time (oil changes, brake pads/rotors, spark plugs, fluid flush, timing belt, etc.) No known mechanical issues, besides those...

My '03 Protege5 is having starting issues. It no longer starts with a simple turn of the ignition switch when it has been sitting for a while. When it's warmed up, no problem. But when it has been sitting for several hours, I have to give it a boot with the gas to get it to start. When I do...

Ok so i have a 2003 MP5 and i have an issue with it cranking super slow, almost as if the engine is too hard to turn, with no start. Ive turned the engine by hand with no issues. Changed the battery and the starter.... Nothing has helped. I did have it started once and it ran fine until i...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a shop that can re ring and basically rebuild my engine. It's a 2003 Mazda protege5 head just got rebuilt but the car still burning oil which means the rings are bad. Looking for a place with experience on this kind of job or specialized in Mazda engines. My...

Hello everyone, I have an 2003 mazda protege 5. It was burning oil so my mechanic figured it was the valve stem seals that were damaged. he went ahead and rebuilt the head. After he put everything back together now the car has a harsh start. I got CEL with code p0300, so I figured i'd start by...

How do I adjust the rear camber on my Protege5? Also, I've seen camber bolts for sell everywhere on the web; when you buy them how many do I need, (2) / (4)? Any suggestions on what brand to buy if needed? I recently installed a set of XXR 527's, 17x7.5 et40 with 205/45/17 tires. I love the...

So I basically just got my 2003 Mazda Proteg5 and I am really wanting to get that thing super fast and looking good. I'm not past dropping a fair amount of money, I just need some tips here as far as how to go about getting stuff done.

I made the grave mistake of letting the "detailer" at my dealership wash my car. He 100% does not know what he is doing and SPRAYED GREASER ALL OVER MY CAR AND TRIM. He also sprayed my engine bay WITHOUT permission, and fried one of my HID relays or ballast.(fckin pissed) & as soon as I got it...

I have a set of Tein S-Tech springs that I've had on my Protege5 since 2011 until a week ago for sale for $35. Just trying to get them gone so they don't sit around my garage taking up space and so I don't just trash them. I did cut 1 coil off back about a week after I initially installed...

Hey everyone, I'm new here, but not new to the P5. I've had it for a little over 2 years now and just recently came across a couple of problems. Hopefully someone can help out with one or all of these lol 1. When turning my steering wheel at idle there is a noticeable clicking/groaning sound. I...
