Boo on stupid rental cars while traveling for work! I can't tell you how many times I've driven a Pontiac Grand Prix or Chevy Impala (chair)

Amen to that. I just got to drive and work on my P5 after 4 days without.

I think she'll be happy. Now I need to get the other 1 back so I can get a family photo
Where is theata? (it's a contraction of the & Miata. I was trying it out. Don't think I really like it though. Oh well.)
me neither.
It's at mazcare getting some preventative maintenance done. Preventative meaning preventing it from exploding.
Took out the kiddos car seats, moved the front seats up, flipped the rear (leather) seat bottoms up and found a self-sustaining ecosystem of "who-knows-what-the-****-what" ... laid down the seat backs and tried to stuff a BFC (big f'n crib) in the back to roll to the storage unit ... no dice (not even sideways). Proceeded straight to the car wash for a complete interior detail and called up my Bro (with an '07 Tacoma) for a solid. P5 is clean and the garage is ready for the MSP ...

so i have settled on a final plan for my p5. this is several years down the road, probably 09/10, but instead of even dealing with boosting the fsde, im going to buy a gtr clip (~2500), 98 protege es bp from a junkyard with harness (~500) and swap into p5. all mounting locations are the same etc. what this will allow me to do is run the gtr set up in the p5, and at 350 whp on stock internals will be WELL within its abilities, and daily drivable. so for lets say 5 thousand total after work, wiring, and management and tune, i have 350 whp. lets look at if i tried this with fsde: 1) built block - ~3800 from speed circuit, more with high flowing head etc. lets say 4500 in the end, as a low ball, probably more. 2) hiboost turbo kit - 3800 3) engine management 1000-1200 4) tune 200-300, and at 350 whp, this probably wont be to reliable, or only 350 whp on race gas sometimes when the humidity is right, venus is aligned with uranus and such.
so we have 5 thousand for reliable power vs 9800 dollars for maybe sometimes probably still going to explode power. case rested

id just use the 98 bp, but the internals are not as yummy as the 1g bp, so this way i get the yummiest internas ever for a piston mazda engine + huge ball bearing turbo + huge and high flowing manifold etc etc etc
