What have you done to your P5 today?

[alexelie]

hkpro5, how is the sc pulling? torque monster much?

 

[shane02pro5]

Made a ss heatshield for the steed mani...probably going to trim it down a bit. I just wanted to accent the bay a bit without taking away from the design of the mani itself. Also the vc is not as orange as it appears in the pics

That's a great looking engine bay, mate! Where did you get that front air dam/reflector thang?

The Aluminum ADP (Air Diverter Panel)? I got one from "GotBoost?" on the "other" forum, lol. Mine doesn't quite cover as much as his, tho. I couldn't find a deluxe one like that, that will fit with a MP3 radiator... Only for the MSP radiator/SMIC setup...

 

[shane02pro5]

Thanks very much CS radiator is on the way so it may be FS soon
Actually nevermind thats just the piece I made at work that covers the rad area

Oh yea. The potenzas really make it smooth. It makes it feel like I'm not going that fast. But when I look at the speedo....damn. lol

But yea it pulls hard.

Shane: the engine bay looks damn nice. Is that your O2 sensor where the wastegate is usuaully on the steed? I think you should keep the heatshield like it is. Good job on it! I would change that Jegs coolant tank if I were you lol ( I have the same one in black. I hate it. )

thanks man, got hired on the spot actually. guy said that he usually doesnt do that but my interview went well enough that he wants me on board asap. so it'll be like sept. or oct. when i put on a new suspension, mines starting to bounce a bit.

 

[shane02pro5]

Thanks dude! Yes thats how the T25 internally gated ones come. I had a summit tank in red but it broke when I was trying to bend the bracket. I just put this new one in... looks better than stock and still functions properly.

just painted my back valance and hatch cover thingy black.... turned out really well I think but it needs to dry. pics up later.

oh p.s. whats a safe way to get badges off your car? (like the front M and back M)

The rear emblems are held in with the plastic prongs on the emblem. You'll need to fill the holes you leave behind. As for the front emblem on the grille, you can't remove it from the stock grille. You can black it out...

 

[McBadass]

So I just gotta mask it up best I can? I got my pro5 emblem off without breaking the prongs but no luck for the mazda emblem.... its all phucked now. Think I used fishing line and a razor for the first 2, now im scared to try the others

 

[probin94]

stopped by the body shop that will be fixing my accident damage from 2 months ago. talked with him about getting the rest of the car redone at the same time! hopefully the fiance will go for it lol.

 

[ScratchNSniff]
