What have you done to your P5 today?

My car sounds like ass. I can't wait to go turbo and put the corksport on. The OBX header, bosal catback pipe and mazdaspeed axleback sound bad. The axleback sounded great when it was alone but now it sounds like poop. Oh well.

I've been thinking about selling my turbo with the manifold and s-pipe attached. It isn't the stock one and has a T20 turbo on it. I also have pipes and the two flanges needed for a custom j-pipe. It comes with all the fittings for both oil and water and has no shaft play. I'll end up using it if no one is interested but I was hoping to go with a stock MSP setup instead. Just wanted to ask if anyone here is interested before I try a GI thread. Just PM me since I don't wanna discuss it here and go off topic.

Are your wheels 17x7 +45? Do you have rubbage or no?
 
You got it. Absolutely no rubbage whatsoever. I was actually thinking about buying some spacers in the near future. The wheels sit really nicely.

Great to hear! I know that some people have rubbed with a wheel of that width/offset even though it seems safe. Probably depends on the tire.
 
I got a 205 wide as well. I think it's because my rear sits maybe a half and inch to 3/4 of an inch away from the fender so I got plenty of clearance. When I have the chance I will roll my fenders with the tool but I'm in no rush. Turbo stuff comes first. :D

got two new toys for myself, excuse the bad photo skills and the dirty car, just took quick pics on my way out to the store.

went from this:

To this!!:


Yea they are a bit off center but thats just a rough mock up for a while.

Also got this for cheap, some say it may be useless, i just think its fun!

The supertones look great along with your custom headlights!

As for the vacuum gauge, this link could be useful to ya. I plan on buying one myself in the near future.

That sucks hearing about your motor, man. It sounds like you had just a couple of good days with it then it went blamo. I hope the Mazda parts clerk doesn't know your first name by now with all the parts you've had to buy. Best of luck...

Believe it or not they know not only my first/last name, but also my phone number...while I was there today my dad couldn't get in touch with me and called...Scott, the parts guy, was like...you have a call...someone trying to call from your number...not to mention he has my cell memorized...

I didn't realize that you were in the same boat... do you have any words of wisdom for a fellow zoom-zoom-boomer?

It sucks...hopefully you get a good motor...

yea they are hella horns, not to many people on here have them :), 118db!!!

Yea...I will get mine installed once the car gets running...they are just sitting in my room...eventually I will be in the cool club...haha...
 
Ok fish.....what did you edit in my post at 11:16? Looks the same to me???

Kansei has the same horns and they are hella loud (sorry couldn't resist). I'd pick up a pair myself but my wife bought me a Nautilus air horn two years ago as a Christmas present so that's gotta stay.
 
The first time I took the pics out and then I realized that I left a part of his quote out of the quote marks and it looked like a part of his post was part of your post lol. Just trying to cut down on the clutter by removing unnecessary pics and stuff. :D

Ah....damn it's late.....I forgot I quoted pics and all. Only reason was to show the vac gauge. Guess I should have removed the others. Sorry, I've been up since 2:45am.
