protege5

Hello I have a 1999 Mazda Protege SE, yesterday i went driving and it was super cold like -40 and i was driving through huge snow drifts. before i got to my house the car seemed to be accelerating on its own and when in neutral REV super high. that ended up stopping but after i got home i went...

I like my Protege5...but I hate the wheels. The tires selection is relatively limited (& expensive) and I can't seem to keep the wheels away from the curbs. Current tire size is 195/50/16 - Kumho Ecsta. I'm thinking if I switch from 16" to 15" I'll save in the long run on tires and the...

Hi. I searched to no luck for Protege5 trunk light switch (not the one right in the light assembly itself). Thought maybe someone ran into this problem before. I just got my car back from the body shop where they replaced my back door and did some other body work after I got rear ended. So I...

Looking to start selling some stuff off the P5 before I put the car up for sale in January. I am willing to accept trades as well, as long as its not anything for a protege. I am willing to ship at buyers expense 2 2mm universal spacers $20

Hi I just picked up a '02 P5 which has the stock roof rack. I am looking at putting an aftermarket rack on it by just removing the stock cross bars and adding rail filler caps afterwards. I guess my question is what type of setup would I need that will work by just adding feet and cross bars...

Ordered a remanufactured 5 speed transmission from Man Trans Llc in Talahassee Florida. In the meantime i took mine out, When the freight truck arrived, the transmission i got had slight varriation to my own. But it has the same spline count and bolt pattern. So will it work? i need a hand...

Stupid but maybe reasonable question, I saw on some random thread on the internet that when doing your oil change it said something about the air filter having air in it so you have to put oil in the filter or something. It said on initial start the engine will push air out possibly causing...

So been gone for a month for work and finally got back to my baby this weekend. I had a question for you all which prob has been covered but saw different reviews online. I've had a very slight white smoke on cold starts, barely visible but its there. I do have a header in there which removed...

Hey all, I'm planning to sell my silver 185,000 mile protege5 to my cousin soon. I have a few OEM parts if anyone is interested. I will post later with the whole pic and username and all that goes with it, but wanted to see if anyone is interested to see if its worth this or not, otherwise I...

Car was wrecked in march 2013 (Front end damage), Still have some parts after moving to CA. Rear Evil M emblem has been removed for keepsaking, all parts for installation are included. Had a brand new wiper installed the day of the accident. Small Dent to the left of the right Mazda emblem as...

Hey, I'm new at this. I bought a 2003 p5 pretty good condition. One of the headlights were cracked.I bought it anyways for the low. I didn't know how expensive these lights are. I was wondering if anyone knows where to buy them pretty cheap. Even if they are used. I need them at least to drive...

Just wanted to ask you guys what you all have heard of price wise and how much you all have paid or sold your p5's for. I love my car and worked very hard on it but I think its time to pass it down. My aunt is thinking about buying it from me and giving it to my cousin, he's turning 16. I...

Hey so im not sure what engages and disengages the fans behind the radiator. But ive been gone for two weeks and noticed now that the fans dont run at all when the engine is on. Both of them turn on when i press the ac button, but I drove it on the highway for like 15 minutes and the fans...

I have a set of Tokico blues with H&R Springs on stock top hats for the 2003 Mazda Protege5. My friend desperately needs suspension, will my Tokico's be compatible with her 1999 Protege LX?

Question, So I don't know why this might be exactly but for some reason when I turn on my HID lights at night my radio all of a sudden goes staticky as hell. I know its cause of the amperage draw because when the lights are off the radio stations work perfect! I do have a short antenna which...

So this is sad but it was my first own oil change on the p5 yesterday. I've done a lot of other work on her before but not an oil change just didnt seem worth it when before. But I got a torque wrench and everything. I was just going to let the people out there with not a lot of tools, like...

Hi there, Just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy the rear bumper guard for a 2002 Protege5 ? I've asked many dealers here in Vancouver Canada and nobody can get them. Or... better yet... anyone have one to sell me? Thanks!!

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a new set of tires in the near future for my P5. The ones I've seen the most positive reviews for are the Kumho Ecsta 4X's and ASX's. Problem is - none of the tire companies in the area carry those in-stock. So, would it be good to get a different-sized tire, or...

I have a 2003 P5 and the plastic molding around the roof fails and the caps have cracked and broken. I still have the original cross bars, still sealed in box, from when I purchased the car. The parts I am looking for are just the plastic that covers the metal rack mounts, both the small caps...
