What have you done to your P5 today?

Swapped out the old dead pedal with the Brach dead pedal. Much better, matches other pedals better.
 
I cut, welded, and installed my MSP Racing Beat axleback today to get rid of my Mazdaspeed axlback:

Went to change the oil and after two pumps on the handle my 2 ton floor jack broke. (doh) Can't really complain as I got it new with jack stands for $5! So I made a trip to Sears and used my gift cards to pick up a 3 ton floor jack (now I can lift the MPV too) and a 5 piece offset box end wrench set.

That said the oil is now changed.
 
Had to replace #4 spark plug. Had really bad misfire and got a egr trouble code. Cleaned it out. Didn't fix a thing. Pulled out #4 plug and the contacts where touching.
 
Drove her for the first time since Friday... I hurt my left knee pretty badly running (don't know how!) and I spent all day Friday barely being able to walk let alone use a clutch. I decided it'd be best to not agrivate it anymore so I decided not to drive all weekend. Feels better now and the morning commute went by just fine. Just gotta wait until running tonight... LOL, I really miss my P5 when I have to ride shotgun in my g/f's '01 LX 1.6L.
 
the clip on my front bumper that goes to the headlight section is broken and now the front bumper rattles like hell and I don't know how to fix it. It's actually the peice under the headlight that's broken and the tab on the bumper itself is alright.
 
Just installed the AWR 21.5mm swaybar today. WOW!!! Nice upgrade.

Sweet! I just got a 22mm Progress rear sway. Just waiting on my AWR adjustable endlinks for front and back to install. I have been driving around with no sway bars for a month or two now because I had to cut my stock endlinks to get them off when I installed my Espiler springs. It will be nice to have them back again
 
Got nearly 130k on my p5- bought new in 2002. Got tired of pot hold damage and decided to go with 195 55 15 snow tires for this season. Also got lifetime alignment. Got the thule box for skis, camping, etc earlier this year, thule bike rack for family bike trips last year. Unfoturunately, paint is abused, recent front end collision and decided to go aftermarket. Im afraid to put anymore $ into this car. May have to go out and get another one with lower mileage to replace this one.
 
Bought and installed some new wiper blades on the front. Booked an oil change and transmission oil change for wednesday (yes, I could do it myself, but I live in a condo with no driveway at this time). Bought some scotchguard for the mazdaspeed protege floormats.
