What have you done to your P5 today?

[mx-p5]

You'll like the shift bushing from TWM. It REALLY locks into gear now, as opposed to the mush the stock bushing is

And, you'll LOVE the HIDs!!

The paper in the window listed it as a 3s touring...still trying to make sure that is right.

Take down the VIN and call Mazda USA. They'll know what it left the factory as.


And if I'm not mistaken, swapping from halogens to HIDs in the Mazda 3 isn't any harder than doing it on your average housings, isn't that correct?

PS, I still have my kit from protephile that I never installed before I sold the P5... I should probably put that, my MP3 ECU and a couple other assorted things up for sale here soon huh? Just in time for Chrismahannukwanzaka!

Ordered a 6000K RTX HID conversion kit, a sri from eBay and a short shifter + bushings from TWM! (drive2)

agreed on both fronts. The S has HIDs from the factory and they are the bomb dizzle chizzle (whatever that means), and the TWM shifter + bushings are a very nice piece of kit. Excellent feel, great shifter.

Nice....I'll have to pull that from the website and call.

And the S did come stock with HID's? That is not listed on the car or their description...then again they didn't get the color right. lol

 

[aMaff]

And the S2000 did come stock with HID's

Sorry, let me fix that for you

 

[mx-p5]

i know the GT came with HID's, but i'm not sure about the 3s.

And nice edit Andrew

Nice.....shorthand ftl. lol

Just got off the phone with MazdaUSA and it is a 3s sport. Good to know for negotiation when they try to argue it's a touring.

MP3 ECU is for sure on my list now lol! Just can't afford it right now... (premium...) Keep it for me will you??

But oil is dropping...so it wont hurt as much. Plus everyone that has one has loved the smoother powerband that it gives. Only thing stopping me is the damn slush box.

I'm out...off to the annual bon-fire for the Easton-P'burg game.

haha like I said it's not even for sale yet (at least not 'officially'). I'll keep it up until the point someone else pays me for it, how about that?

 

[mx-p5]

The MP3 ecu is WELL worth the cost of premium fuel.

Ahah deal! No but as I said I'm not ready yet for this mod ($$$) Altought I'm pretty sure I'll get one... someday! (evil)

 

[808MP5]

you should be ready cuz the MP3 ECU is sold before its even posted

 

[rooster1]

this is what i did to my p5 today..

will get better pix soon

 

[THE Phen]

Do you park on concrete, gravel, or dirt? That would explain a lot.

Well, I blame most of it on previous owner neglect. It spends half of its time parked in my garage, and the other half parked in the gravel driveway.

Enjoy.

 

[808MP5]

^damn that looks horrible not to mention unsafe

 

[THE Phen]

Explain why I'm considering a replacement?

 

[808MP5]

Because rusted metal loses it's integrity and strength. It could be flexing and eventually crack or snap
