I recently bought a 2010 Mazda 5 Sport and decided I really liked the LED tail lights from the 2008 Grand Touring, so I've been waiting for one to show up in my local salvage yard. FINALLY one did, went over there, and in my infinite wisdom, I simply cut the wiring harness behind the body panel...

Okay, so I'm totally new to this forum so be nice! I've done my weeks of searching about this and I haven't found anyone who has given a straight answer whether this can be done or not. I've seen so many different engines in these things it kind of scares me, so I'm not even sure the FP-DE is...

Hey guys! Hopefully someone can help. I just completed a msp motor and mtx trans swap into an auto protege5 with tiptronic. Everything went well, except I have no function in the cluster. I searched the forums, found a few guys who ran into this, but no solutions posted. Looking for assistance...

I just grenaded my 2002 P5 engine and am looking for a direct replacement. Original engine had 162,000 miles on it. Been driving this since new and def don't want this to be the end of it! If anyone has a long block, let me know what you want for it. Thanks so much! -Justin

Hello everyone I'm new to the forums and I drive Demio DW 1.3 1999. Currently its undergoing an engine swap with a BFD engine /straight out of a Kia Shuma II/. So far I've changed the engine block with its internals only. The BFD head is at the workbench for porting and etc /Any Jafro fans out...

I've found a deal at a wrecking yard on a steering wheel from a Touring or Grand Touring 2012 Mazda5 and was thinking about swapping it over to my Sport to get the leather and extra buttons (I plan on getting a Pioneer AppRadio and programming the extra buttons with that; I know that they won't...

How similar are the suspensions between the Mazda3 and Mazda5? From what I understand, the springs on the 5 are softer and designed for more body roll than the 3 so that you don't do anything crazy with a vehicle with a higher CG (too late...), as well as a more family-freindly ride. Although...

my 06 2.3 threw a rod , i have a 2007 2.0 engine that spun bearings at 70k miles ( swapped engine for friend last year ) have both engines apart in garage 2.3 block is shot , and 1 rod i was thinking could use 2.3 crank / balance shaft delete as the 2.0 does have oil port nor holes for it ...

Hey guys and gals, My name is Shawn and am technically a noob here on this forum. However I have used this forum before but never have logged in. Anyway I have an old 02 Protege with 240K miles and lost my oil plug the other day and realized it too late so now I am looking into replacing the...

I know the standard 3 hood can be swapped for the turbo hood, but there will be a bit of a gap. I also know swapping the hood has been discussed quite a bit. But what about just swapping the bumper cover? I always liked the MS bumper more, it just looks a bit sleeker and smoother in the front...

Hi everybody, I'm new here and I could really use some advice. I've got a 2000 1.8L protege and my f25m-r is at deaths door. Fine by me. I've been wanting to change over to a g-series anyways. A few months ago I grabbed a g-series tranny from a 1997 escort spi because of the 3.85 final drive...

Hey guys, I got a 2001 Protege with the 2.0 FS-DE and I am looking for mods to do. One big one is Turbo or not. I heard its a pain to put one on, but is it really worth putting one on? I'm looking for about 190- 200 hp. What do you think?

Hey all, I've searched around the forums and havent had much luck with this question. I have a 2002 Protege5 5speed, the transmission is junk. I went to the local junkyard and purchased a 1994 Mazda 626 transmission, which is pretty much the same as a G Series Ford Probe transmission. I...

Hey has anyone heard of the rotary civic? If not search it up. I was wondering tho of anyone has tried this with a protege like actually had it running ? I think this would be a cool idea to do if someone would have the time,money,material to get this done seriously.

Hey guys, Looking to pick up a 2003 MSP this week with a bad transmission. I have searched and could not find the exact answer I am hoping to find. I am curious if using a MP3, or Protege5 (or any 2.0) transmission can be directly bolted in to a MSP. I have learned that both share a 22 spline...

New to the Forums here, first post so sorry if I posted in the wrong area ect. My question is I am thinking of swapping out my stock hood for a custom hood or possibly a MS3 hood, if they would fit properly. So to reiterate my question is 1. would a MS3 hood fit my MZ3? 2. would any of you...

I've got a manual 2002 MP5 that needs an engine. Is there a difference between an automatic trans engine and a manual trans engine. Can I pull any 2.0 engine and mate my 5 speed transmission? What is a good price for a low mileage engine USD? Also, since I'll have the engine out, what are some...

sorry if this question has been asked/answered in anouther thread. i really did search for my question before i asked, but i couldn't find it elsewhere. I picked up a 2001 Mazda Protege this week for $250. unfortunatly, the engine is seized and i can't unseize it. the body doesn't have a spot...
