Well I used to be into the Honda scene very religousily but the look of the P5 and comforts of it affected me completely.\
I am very happy with the car now some questions i have..
Have any of you guys removed the front mazda emblem..and how can it be done?
Would the wheels that come on the MP3 fit on the p5?
THnx

 

The mazda logo is part of the plastic grill. You would have to take that entire part off and replace it. I think If you just painted it black then "maybe" it would blend in with the rest of the grill. You can take it out and buy the aftermarket JDM? piece to fit inside. Dunno bout the wheels. Search in the wheels area

 

1. the front emblem has been removed on some P5's but I thinkit is an entire custom grille. I don't think you can just remove the flying M with out it looking pretty shitty.(there will be that black outline left in the grille). Some JDM stuff is available I think.

2. The wheels will fit your p5 The Racing Hart MP3 wheels are available through your dealer or www.Mazdastuff.com They are pricey though.

 

where could i find the after market grill??

hey congrats on the car! I just got mine 2 days ago and i'm thrilled with it.

My question is : does u're stick shake/vibrate when u'r driving?

 

yup my clutch shakes too. I drove my friends Lancer and it does too. TheMAN said the reason is cause they are mechancial clutches! Thanks guys for the expert advice as always!

 

Well sorry for being such a newbie..
But my new P5 is begging for mods...
I keep hearing about AUTOEXE
and i have been to some of the websites..but i want to ask some of you where you have ordered some of your parts..
Like the Autoexe front grill
and the autoexe rear wing...
Thanks again guys

 

The stick rattles because of the shifter linkage. Its basically a rod instead of the cable used on other cars, which gives it a better feel IMO, it feels more "connected", so i get better feedback.

 

I agree it gives a better "feel", or to me atleast. A lot of people don't really notice it, or who are use to Cable Tranny's find it annoying, whereas I learned how to drive stick on one, and now I have a Cable Tranny and it really took some time to get use too, I still miss gears after almost 2 years Clutch is just too wierd also, a lot of factors go into buying a car, and this is one of em if it really bothers ya.

 

dunno if mitch is still in here, but his site Protege5online has a bunch of stuff. a few ppl on this board went thru mitch. but i think there are other sellers on here as well.

 

Yeah, I think I am close to snapping a cable on my accord..I learned how to quick shift on a non-cable tranny and quick shifting on a cable tranny is a lot harder/more annoying..I will enjoy this tranny very much when I get my p5

 

You made a wise choice Chicken SOup
