So my 2003 P5 has about 140k on it and when accelerating through 3000rpm there is a grinding/rattling noise that only lasts for about 200 rpm before or after 3000. It only occurs when the clutch is out and it's in gear. In neutral or clutched in the noise is non existent and the engine revs...

I really like how the rear looks with the painted lip and spoiler! Good job man keep it coming!

So I have decided I don't need a race car....but i want to make my P5 go as fast as I can without wasting money and without hampering practicality to much. Sooo new topic. What should I use to do this? MSP turbo with low psi, air intake and such, possibly exhaust, plugs? Opinions are appreciated!

The more I think about it the more I just want to be a bit zippier, a bit louder, and a bit faster over all. Plus the fact that customizing my car makes it more my own is a huge plus. So to do this would the best plan of action be bolt ons, exhuast and a small turbo?

Thanks man very helpful insights! I do love my car and I am beginning to think I should just boost what I have but do it properly and then slowly strengthen everything else. So you think I should look for a full turbo kit and not piece together parts I can find on my own?

Hmmm lots to think about. I don't want a new car if I get a new car to build on what would be a good one? I was thinking a supra or an Rx7 or something. the trouble is finding one not driven to s*** or all modded and expensive already.

Thats the motivation I'm looking for thanks bud! Haha

I don't necessarily want a super car or a drifter. The main question is if I put a turbo and all that jazz in my P5 could I beat most of the cars on the street?

Hey there So the question is whether or not I should put money into my 03 Mazda Protege5 and make it fast or buy a better base car to upgrade. I love my car and how it drives but I really don't know how fast it can be with mods. Money isn't to big of a deal as I can get parts online and can do...
