What have you done to your P5 today?

[hornsfan10609]

Get tokico blues or illuminas. Aren't those MSP struts like $500? Waste, just get illuminas. adjustable dampening, ftw.

MSPs have Tokiko Blues stock.

Changed the oil today. Mobil1 Extended Performance Synthetic and Mobil1 filter. Autozone was having a sale. 37 bucks for 5 quarts and a filter. Not bad.

Also fixed my front clunk by installing new endlinks I custom made.

Also installed my corksport rear strut bar. Front one will be installed this weekend probably.

Details and pics in my build thread.

Bronzeoil bushings? They've been out for a very long time for Protege's. You can get them on Corksport.

Last night on my way home I passed a VRM MSM and then on the way to my son's soccer practice I passed a Lava Orange MSM......I think someone is trying to tell me something? lol

They aren't normal Tokico Blues. They have different perch heights.

Go to a dealership and test drive one.

Corksport has had em for a while...

 

[CTt3P5]

Now that I've finally spent some money to fix/upgrade my failing suspension it's time to look for tires. I just measured the tread depth and and both fronts are at 3/32nds and the DS rear is 3/32nds while the PS rear is 2/32nds.

I'm really leaning towards the Conti Extreme Contact DWSs at the moment and trying to decide if I stick with a 205/50 or switch to a 205/45...ah the decisions that lay ahead.

Those are the best all-seasons. One of the only all-seasons that isn't crap in the snow...

You can order bronze oil-impregnated bushing from MANY different sources. McMasterCarr, Grainger and Motion Industries just to name a few. I haven't checked their pricing but I'm sure it's cheaper to go direct through one of those sources. All you have to know are the actual dimensions.
