What have you done to your P5 today?
- Thread starter Tg5
- Start date
Today it was the first warm day of the year here in Vancouver and I drove it. I am seriously convinced that this is a warm weather car! Everything about it feels so much better when the sun's out. Even the clutch chatter keeps itself fairly well-behaved.
thanks! i actually read that thread before. just seems like more trouble then its work. maybe when i get bored over the summer. although i have bigger plans...header and udp...painting rims. switching the wiper blade seems insignificant to these.. o well maybe one day. thanks again tho

do the header even if the reast of the exhuast is stock!
Yea, I had just done the 4-wheel alignment about 6 Months ago and the guy said the back was okay. I guess it couldn't hurt to take it in to make sure. Thanks Manny. Two more days until I get those rails/racks in!
Can't wait!

It really isn't that much trouble at all and under $40 shipped from http://www.onlinemazdaparts.com Took me about 20 minutes using a file (and that is because I was sitting at my desk at work).
Today I changed the oil and added a full four quarts! Lovin' that 626 filter upgrade already.
Yesterday I finally lowered her....
Pic 1 - Hey, what do you expect for $30?
Pic 2 - Can you say 'rub'?
Pic 3 - 640lbs of quikrete will give you a nice tuck.

LOL awesome. Speaking of lowering, I installed the Tein S-Techs today
Here was the day:
3 hours spent putting Eiback Pro-Kits on Dezine's P5
3.5 hours spent putting Tokico Illuminas on Celco's P5
1 hour spent swapping the MSP Springs for the S-Techs on my P5. Anyone want to guess what the time difference came from? If you guessed "cutting 7 of those 8 endlinks on the other 2 cars with a dremmel, and going through half a dozen cutoff wheels, you're correct. WOW that sucked ass. Ugh. That was absolutely ridiculous. Celco's car was in Michigan for a few years, and we don't know where Dezine's was originally, but it wasn't nearly as rusty. The endlinks were just boofed. Anyway, whatever. I was extremely happy with how well mine went though. Literally, from pulling the car into the garage to getting it back on the ground in an hour. It was AWESOME
Pics to come later (maybe tomorrow)

busy day andrew????????????????????/
Hell yeah! And yesterday I helped Luke (rogue) swap the front sway bar on his. In case you ever feel like you should do that job: don't. It sucks. It took us almost 5 hours with 2 of us working on it. Honestly though, I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it. I had a ton of fun. But now I'm sore as crap pretty much everywhere lol

And a big thank you to you again man! I'm loving the new look
. Good to know yours didn't take as long lolAnd a big thank you to you again man! I'm loving the new look
HAHA no worries dude, it was fun. I always enjoy letting the sparks fly. Honestly though, if the endlinks didn't come loose on mine, I was just going to forget it and do it another day because I REALLY didn't want to cut another set of those bastards. Fortunately, after a little PB blaster (John brought some) they came right off. His was miserable. The Michigan winters had not been kind to that car

Yeah I understand not wanting to deal with anymore stubborn endlinks haha, but that's good you didn't have stubborn ones
