What have you done to your P5 today?

Drifter Status FTW!! lol

Pretty much . It is fun taking wide 90degree turns and letting the back end come loose . Rain is a different story lol.

Thanks! I wish I could go all out like rooster or signature sound, but I just don't have the time or patience haha

1. Tried to find/fix my e-brake light randomly coming on issue. I thought it was something in my remote start, but that didn't fix it. Going to have to dive into the dash again another day.
2. Tried to fix the new crunch sound coming from my rear driver's side wheel well. I thought it was something to do with my RSB, but I messed with that and no results. Damnit.
3. Completed my wire tuck of the harness that goes over the intake manifold and valve cover. So much cleaner now and only needed to extend the power steering wire. Some pics below:

BEFORE

AFTER - So much cleaner

Very nice. Really like your connection block.

tuck looks good circuit,

and just a random question, anybody know what base coat mazda used for the midnight blue p5's? cuz i got a few rock chips on my mirror and it looks like its a red base
which would explain why my black base coat front bumper came out so blue...but i just want to confirm it before i go try to color match it with some red base

 

[aMaff]

red base coat under blue? Sounds like a re-spray to me...

 

[justanothermp5]

ive had the car since new, its not a respray lol

 

[HKPRO5]

red plastic?

 

[justanothermp5]

hmm...idk then, i know its not the primer, because as u said, primer is normally dark gray
but the midnight blue is like a blue in the sun and a purple in the shade, so red would technically make sense, since red and blue make purple

ill do a few test panels and see what i come up with

Hey guys, long time no talk

Quick question, going to be installing my AutoExe 21mm rear sway bar on the weekend, will I run into any problems with the endlinks? should it sit straight?

cheers

i called my insurance and my car is totalled. no more p5.

so i have to remove all the things ive put on it, wheels, mp3 ecu, header, hid lights, tein springs.

and i satrt looking for something else. gti 1.8t is a very good option. im probably gonna keep coming here. gotta keep the posts up you know

 

[justanothermp5]

dam, that blows man, you gonna part it out?

but today im going to wash it, clean the engine bay, clean out the interior, put in new interior and try to get rid of some random rattles
hopefully all goes well

 

[alexelie]

not a big part out, only the ones ive mentionned. But im not gonna start selling seats or other stuff like .

Do insurance give what the car is worth before he accident or they will give me like 1500$??

I can't believe they're not going to fix it... They should give you what's it worth before the accident, otherwise what's the point of insurance? You could easily part-out your P5 for $1500.

Typically they give you market value for similar mileage and options.

Looks good. You going to be running a bypass or a blow-off?

 

[blackdragon11]
