Not today, but yesterday: I drove it just a little over 1200KM (round-trip) to attend Meeting of the Mazdas.

Got to meet Brian, HatchKitten (sorry, I'm really bad with names), and a bunch of other awesome people. The MP5T is >9000 times more amazing in person, I'm glad I was able to finally see (and hear) it. Also, being from NY I didn't expect HatchKitten's P5 to be so damn clean, but there is literally no rust on that car. Even the notoriously rusty strut towers were in perfect condition (she didn't believe my strut towers have speed holes, until I showed her ).

Even the weather held out, there was just enough rain to scare away the slammed miatas which counts as a perfect day in my book

u should def. black out those headlights with a Satin or Gloss finish, and it'll look sexy, especially if u get bluebat's yellow fog overlays as well.

B@t

Going around trying to find a good price to fix the rust happening on my rear wheel wells. Was quoted 600 to fix and paint the back half of the car.

 

[RicoP5]

[92BigJohn]

[RoroP5]

I got the same kit but with a different name on the box haha, they're a pain to set up perfectly but work great once they are!
Good luck!

[bikingpro5]

through cyl1 miss fire code this morning, so left her at home and took the other car to work.

 

[RicoP5]

just drove it to work as usual

 

[dxaveP5]

washed the car, the dip is still holding up quite nicely even through this past weekend's 3 day long storms

 

[CTt3P5]

Getting an annoying rattle up front so after a quick look I figured I'd start by removing the em heat shield over lunch. Fired her up and no rattle so I let her idle while I cleaned the windows and after a few minutes it reared it's ugly head. Coming from just behind the PS wheel so my best guess is exhaust heat shield...time to throw her in the air.

Check out the lower bolt hole....this is why I started with this heat shield. Guess it's time to get a performance header.

Blech....now I'm really kicking myself in the ass for not installing that BNIB Ractive header I had a couple of years ago!

 

[RicoP5]

sure is

 

[reut1]

[CTt3P5]

Thanks Kyle....had one helluva time finding that 'rust' color in the paint section. lol

Another bearing....please tell me this is for one of the wheels you have not already replaced.

Does anyone know for sure if the front inner tie rods are a left and right? Or are they identical?

Mazda has a different part number for each side and I'm only finding one side available on RockAuto. Thanks in advance.
