What have you done to your P5 today?
- Thread starter Tg5
- Start date
So the P5 is going in for surgery on Monday night.Scheduled some major maintainance. Have a small coolant leak, tranny is starting to slip, gonna do the timing belt, water pump, drive belts, just an all around big tune up. Then a couple weeks after taxes are done, I have actually decided to keep her, I know I know, I keep changing my mind, but I cant let her go. After all the work I am having done to it I cant let it go. So looks like I'm going to need suggestions on lowering kits, HID's, exhaust, Tint and painting my wheels. A possible 02 Dodge Ram 2500 is in the picture as an addition to the family. Just can't let the car go. Cant see trading her in, eating almost 4500 in neg equity. Going to also get the paint on pass side and rust spot on wheel well drivers side fixes. P5 overhaul FTW!
For suspension I was looking at the Tokico Blues with springs from PG, Mazdaspeed sway bars with awr end links. and gt spec front and rear strut towers. any other suggestions i will take, have a 3k budget. thats including the paintand tint.
I was thinking either the HKS Hi-Power cat back or magnaflow cat back, and OBX header.

The MSP font swaybar will make the P5 understeer. Just saying.
Get this JIC catback:

Gracias, I always have people tell me they like it when I drive it. I had a 94 Cobra that was really clean, it had a fresh paint job and black rims and everything and I used to get compliments every once in a while but people always talk to me in the B. And I won't lower it, it's perfect, I need suspension travel for all the Steve McQueen style jumps the car was made to do.
I can't wait until I can afford a Mach 1, I will sell the P5 and find one when I feel like dumping a 25 mpg car that runs on reg. for a 18 mpg car that only takes premium.
And I got a good run with a 2010 Camaro SS today, I pulled him by a good 2 cars off the line but he caught up and passed me by 3rd. My 4.6 can't keep up with a 6.2 for too long.
Here's the Cobra, I love it and wish I had never sold it but it had 160k miles. A guy in San Antonio drives it now with a completely different exhaust but otherwise the same.
I don't have barely any pictures of it anymore, I need to find them.

2011 Mach 1 5.0? It will be hella fast and begging for mods. Sell all 2 get it !! Mustangs will always be my fav car. Look @ the history. Im totally building another next year. This year I shall gather parts. Way more HP than turboing this P5 sport auto. 300hp 4cyl 2.3 turbo mustangs . My sleeper car. 2.3 emblems and no exhaust tip.
I cleaned her up a bit and took her for a drive. Im loving the smooth ride with all new tires.
