The rims on my 2002 Protege are chipping for the second time. They have been
repainted once already by the dealer under warranty. Has anyone else had
similar problems with their alloy rims?

I have several service manuals for older Mazdas for sale. I have some as old
as 1972 !  If anyone is in need of a factory service manual let me know. I
will be selling some on EBay in the next week also. We were going to throw

It didn't have this problem before we changed the gasket.  ...

Anyone know of any issues that could cause alternator belt to pop

I highly doubt all the belts were defective.

I saw this Mazda model, the Premacy (RV Series), with 3 rows of
seats in a compact wagon-style package. Any chance it might be
coming to the US?
