What have you done to your P5 today?

^. Yup I gotta make up some sort of restriction so that you can't sell your parts... Scammer status? lol

Jk sad to hear that.
 
Alex, booo... Seems like a lot of cats are going back to stock. But you've still got the Miata for the fun car and the Civic for the DD. What will become of the P5?

i heard he was selling it after its stock...not 100% sure though
i knew it was going to happen as soon as he bought that dam civic
 
Dropped my Blitz wheels off at the wheel shop to get the faces powder coated and the barrels bead blasted.

It's an unfortunate thing for sure... but it's a dying platform unfortunately. Possibilities are highly limited. Parts aren't greatly available, and unless you're going for handling... it costs too much to make a big difference.
 
its a dying platform because everybody wants race car performance out of an economy car,
my car isnt fast, its faster then some cars, and im cool with that, i just love the way it looks,
and that nobody knows what it is when i pull into meets lol guess i like being unique?


edit: and today i finished painting the one MX-5 wheel that was messed up, came out a s*** ton better then i expected
the wheel looks flawless, and the paint matches all the other wheels almost exactly, only difference is that the one i painted is glossy lol

im happy with it, ill post pics tomm

Oh don't get me wrong. I love the platform. The car is a gorgeous car. Just limited potential. Once mine dies, I'll probably snag another one.
 
^^^^I agree....I know the car will never be the fastest on the road but she handles great (now....lol) and looks sooooo damn sexay, even while sitting in the driveway.

Your'e just a glutton for punishment, eh? LOL....if I were to do it all over again...I'd take more time to find that hasn't lived in the rust belt. lol As of right now...I'm looking at a Mazda6 wagon (another limited platform) or the Mazda2 as a replacement commuter car but hope to not make that decision for quite a few years. :)
 
More or less. There was a rumor that Marlon may be selling the wagon. Not sure if it's still true or not. If he was, I would try to snag that.
 
got my escape wiper stalk in today. also found out why it cost $10 to ship out such a small part. tons of packing paper was in there (old stalk in pic to show size of box)
