    How can I tell if I have a 2003 or 2003.5

    Hey Poseur. I never said aftermarket stereos were about being loud. Re-read my post, just ignore the mispelled word. My point was if anyone loves quality sound, don't damage your hearing by cranking it up to a chest pounding level all the time. I would've spent the bucks for an aftermarket...

    How can I tell if I have a 2003 or 2003.5

    I have a 97 Spyder GS-T. It does'nt have a sub-woofer. Its bass cannot be raised to the same loudness as my P5 but my Spyder's bass' definitely more true sounding than the bass from my P5's sub-woofer. The mids & his are also better on my Spyder. When I'm cruising with the top down with the N1...

    Racing beat exhaust & Hi flow cat

    Needing some exhaust back pressure is bad information. Even some racers & race car builders still believe that. Go to a pro race and check out their exhausts; pure tuned exhaust piping.

    driving me nuts (injen cai)

    My Injen CAI feels the same way. I've determined that it has to do with ambien temp, humidity level, gas tank level, how much s*** I'm carrying and how much my right foot weight at the time.

    Are you getting small Vibrations?

    I have a 03.5 with 19K miles and I also have slightly noticeable vibration from the engine, transmission & suspension. My demised CRX was faster, handled better and had a more comfortable ride and it didn't have any vibration anywhere. Mazda is building better cars now but they still have a ways...

    How can I tell if I have a 2003 or 2003.5

    My subwoofer sounds good. It's there to bring out the bass. It's not there to disturb everyone else around you. My entire sound system dosn't sound as nice as my Eclipse's OEM sound system but my P5 cost $10k less. If you want great sound, spend some money and get a new system. If you want loud...

    Racing beat exhaust & Hi flow cat

    Don't know which state you live but in Ca you have to pass a visual exam as well as a tail pipe sniff. If the guy is good you won't pass.(direct) You may want to keep your original exhaust if your area requires a visual.

    MP5 vs. CRX

    Amen DRGSR. I bought a new 91 CRX and drove 280K miles in it until it got totaled by an F150. When it was new it handle better than my new 03.5 P5 and it had cheapo tires on it. Pissed off a lot of Carrera owners on the twisties too. It was however slow as hell in a straight line much like my...

    Guys, you should not replace your stock springs with stiffer aftermarket springs unless you want to wallow down the road like your local low riders. Lowering springs may make your car look cool but it will decrease your handling on rough roads. If you only wants looks go for it, but if you want...

    INJEN CAI Sounds on a P5 Auto

    Mine is also an auto but I didn't notice any gain in performance throughout the normal RPM range. My low RPM throttle response is now slightly decreased which actually makes it accelerates a little smoother. The engine bogs a little from a dead stop. I do not have any other mod so any single...

    INJEN CAI Sounds on a P5 Auto

    I just installed the Injen CAI in my 2003.5 P5 for looks and just something to do to my P5. You will not notice the increase in sound level while your'e cruising with the stereo on. The sound, however, is very loud at WOT. You'll hear a few spurt of air sucking sound after you shut your engine...
