... i hate people... im gunna try to bondo it up sand it and rattle can the area... hopefully it doesnt look like to much s***
For those with the "Sport 20" rear emblem, is the length of it the same as the "Protege 5" logo? I was stupid and superglued mine, and I have a feeling when I take it off it will leave crap behind so I just want to get the Sport 20 emblem to cover it all up.

Havent touched the P5 in a while. After a long drive (200miles) I starting getting a noise from the pass front wheel. sounds as if there is tape wrapped around the axle. I also have this loud crack that happens any time i turn, or the suspension is uneven. It comes from the hatch area by the spare tire.
On a positive note, my dad and I are talking about purchasing a Datsun 204z as a project car

Here's mine. The "Sport20" badge is a little bit bigger than the "Protege5" badge. My P5 badge was rusting so I sanded down the rust, filled it with bondo, painted/clear coated it then put the "Sport20" badge over everything to cover up any imperfections. I got mine from good ole Corksport for $20.

A sport20 badge has been on my mod list for a while now, but i'm happy with the blacked out emblems for now.

all new t-bolt clamps, couplers, and flanging pipes to hold the higher t3/t4 boost levels. after last weeks test drive, i had pipes blowing off at only 18psi. sooo scary after blowing 3 motors, you start to get a little gun shy lol

looks sick scratch. Did you just paint over the chrome for that look?

Nah...I stripped the chrome, then primed, used a coat of non metalic silver, then splattered the blue on them...I had them done, but never put them on just painted them black instead, but I keep seeing that pic, so may do it again...

Just went out and measured it I'm sorry it wasn't 5" but 3.75"I can promise your AEM intake piping is not 5"...my Intake piping to my gt3071 is only 3" and it's pretty dang big.
Side note just got tracking from wheeldude for my Hyperblack 18x8 Rota P1's and also tracking for my Axis Double Bass (oops) Pedals for my drumset(reason I didn't spend $1200 on Enkei's instead)

Dang...I was actually out with my dad all day...we were GTO searching...did you guys get that thing fixed...
Also, I think my dreams finally came true...I am trying to get some more info on this guys setup, but I found a pic of my dream rims on another P5...guy is out of Puerto Rico, and I sent him a PM to find out...for those that don't recognize them, they are the 20" optional CX9 rims...
Wow 20"s on a p5? looks great from the front angle IMO but dead on the side not my cup o tea but cool beans if you can figure it out for yourself!

Yea...those have been the rims I have wanted ever since I saw them, but I don't see how to get them to fit, which is why I never tried to get a set of them...
