What have you done to your P5 today?

[Lewis7789]

Also hopefully going to throw on my SS brake lines this weekend.

Me too. I'm going to hit Summit Racing (they're 20mins down the street from my house) to pick up some Speedbleeders while I'm flushing the brakes. I've been hunting for a local shop that carries ATE Superblue brake fluid with no luck. I might just go with Prestone DOT4.

I'm also going to test my hand at painting, well, clear coating, my CF hood I'm refinishing. Summit has paint and clearcoat too.

Crossed 130K yesterday

Got my driver's side hub replaced due to a bad wheel bearing. the car drives like new now! also got my tag for it.

 

[vampyrate]

I think I'm just going to let physics bleed my brakes for me as I make the change and just top it off as I go from brake to brake. By the end of it, the entire system should be clean lol.

 

[justanothermp5]

put one of my coilovers on....looks awesome, but the tire rubs on the coil for some reason

 

[Taus-MP5]

justanothermp5, are the coil-overs new? Im asking because if you had previous lowering suspension, i might buy it if your selling.

my bearing(s) are bad now but had to drive the car for a little bit on them. how long was your bearing bad to make your hub also need replacing? im wondering now if i should have ordered a hub in addition to bearings. car is off the road til its fixed

 

[Taus-MP5]

Looks good Taus....now you need to drop it and paint those headlights.

I swapped my Techone HID kit out for a new V-HIDs 5K kit over lunch.

Thanks. I DO need to drop it...and check on my breaks... and, tinted. OH, and i have 55w 8000k's on right now, with Xenon Superbrights for fogs

BDW, what do you mean by paint the headlights? what color? and i want to paint the black top grille lip mica blue..instead of black.

How do you guys think it would look? I cant find any pics on that.

 

[canadian357]

justanothermp5 are those MX-5 wheels? How big/what year? They are supa smexy


Edit: Taus by painting the headlights he means the bezel. Theres a how to on here for it, it gives you a similar look to the Canadian '03 P5 headlights.

Not sure how long the bearing has been bad. I've only had the car 2 weeks. But it's not that the hub was messed up too, it's just it was easier to have them change out the hub with a low miles one instead of having to press out the bearing. In the long run, labor for that costs a lot cheaper than it does to change only the bearing. But, nonetheless, my car rides so unbelievably smooth now. I've had a bad bearing since I got it, so this is my first time driving it with a good one. Sooo nice

I've got a nasty rattle coming from the engine bay, I think it has something to do with my front AWR motor mount. If I apply a downward force on a metal bar placed between the vertical crossmember and the transaxle then the sound goes away. Something's loose...

Well there new to me, bought them off the forums. And yes im selling my old setup, but there ground control coilover sleeves...not too many people go that route. There will be a for sale thread shortly, few days
