#1161 of 1220 Re: one more stereo question... [civiletti] by luv2zoomzoom Sep 20, 2005 (11:41 pm)
Replying to: civiletti (Sep 17, 2005 11:50 pm) Thank you too for the input!! Unfortunately, I have no clue how to do those things myself I think for now I might just change the cd player; even though the sound won't be great I won't have to keep hitting the (digital) display so its readable & i will be able to listen to my burned cd's w/out it occaisionally skipping and blanking.
#1162 of 1220 Entertainment components replacement. by mazdafun Sep 23, 2005 (8:59 am)
http://protege5.ugly.net/   Look under sections 09-11 and 09-20.   I placed a couple of text-only posts on this board describing how to replace the speakers, including door & rear shelf panel removal (#s 272 and 274, I think). Someone else later posted links to a site with pictures illustrating the process. It might be this site:   http://byrneweb.com/sunburn/newcar/install.html   His is a P5 (and a nice-looking one, but they all are ), so it doesn't cover the rear shelf speakers in the sedan.
#1163 of 1220 Radio Reception by photorose Oct 07, 2005 (1:34 pm)
I just bought my 2002 Protege, Love it! But the reception on the radio is bad. I was told that I would have to change the entire radio. Is this true or can I just get a better antenna? Thanks for any suggestions.
#1164 of 1220 Radio reception. by mazdafun Oct 12, 2005 (12:25 pm)
It could simply be a case of corrosion on the connector, or a loose connection to the antenna.   The stock radio has very good radio reception. It's much better than my aftermarket JVC. It could pull in many local stations with my antenna fully retracted into the A-pillar. With my JVC, I have to pull out the antenna at least 1/2 of the way out to match the same performance.   Do you get static with the antenna all the way out with even strong stations? If so, I'd suspect a bad connection somewhere. Replies to this message: sean17 (Nov 26, 2005 3:07 pm)

To save money I got rid of my beautiful Acura RSX and am now driving an old 95 protégé, it’s the 1.5L with 75,000 miles. It’s in good running shape.   What mods (mostly interested in performance mods) would you recommend?   Thanks!
#1167 of 1220 HID kit blinding people on the road. by musikman Nov 14, 2005 (7:01 am)
Hey folks.... I just installed an HID headlight kit on my 2003 P5.   It looks great and the difference between the PIAA Extreme Whites I used to have and this kit is amaizing... however, everytime I get on the road (specially at night)half the cars on the road Highbeam me.   Is anyone else with an HID kit experiencing this problem, and if so, how did you resolve it???   Thanks a bunch!
#1168 of 1220 Accessories??? by musikman Nov 14, 2005 (7:26 am)
Does anyone on this board know any good links to accessories sites for the Protege5 ????   It seems I've search the web high and low and I'm having a hard time trying to find any good websites that sell accessories for the Protege5.   I've looked at a couple of websites posted on this board but they seem so limited (in terms of products).   Any suggestions????   Thanks in advanced.

#1169 of 1220 HID blind. by mazdafun Nov 14, 2005 (11:03 am)
You could try the some owners of pickups have used and install blinds (usually metal) on the upper halves of your headlamps. This keeps the light out of the eyes of oncoming drivers, but creates a sharp cut-off wherever the blinds occlude the headlamps. Replies to this message: musikman (Nov 14, 2005 1:21 pm)

Replying to: mazdafun (Nov 14, 2005 11:03 am) Thanks a bunch.   I thought about that, but I also read in some other forum that it may be a good idea to adjust the headlights down a bit. So far I've read about a bunch of people who have the same problem even with the stock bulbs and 95% of the time the same people adjusted the headlights down by parking about 10 feet from a wall on leveled ground.   I was thinking of doing that, the only problem now is how to go about adjusting them. I looked under the hood and noticed a copper colored nut with teeth on them behind the headlight housing covered by a plastic cap.   I'm sure that's what you have to mess with to adjust them, but I don't know if the plastic caps need to come off or not before using th flathead screwdriver.   But again, thanks a bunch for your suggestion.
