Okay Thanks! I guess I'll stick with the All-Seasons I just bought. Thanks.

We've got a set of 225/50/16 Bridgestone Blizzaks sitting at work that I can probably get cheap. I know it's almost a 4.75% increase in overall diameter but my P5 doesn't have ABS or Traction Control so will it freak anything out besides my speedometer (or even that if it's electronic from...

Hey Everybody...I know that many of you had some hot Proteges here at Carlisle last year...I'm wondering what's in store for this year at Harrisburg. Here's the deal...I'm looking for a few cars to show to my marketing manager for our printed advertisements and website content. I want...

I can dig your point, gro. This town just can't handle this event. That's what it all comes down to. Your point about the cops is exactly true. It will be held in the future in a place and in a manner that is totally controlled. About vendors...I didn't bring that up. Must have been...

You guys and girls all have valid points and I can see your frustration but, until you run one of these events, you have no idea what it takes to get more security and police into the right areas. We're working on making the show more restricted, more controlled, and in a more controllable...

Sorry I didn't get to meet any of you there...I was trying to fix all of the s**t that the people before me screwed up. Anyway, hope to meet some of you at other shows. Glad some people had fun. Mike New Carlisle Event Manager

Okay, I'm going to post to this just because I know all about it and I've been a contributor to this board for a while so I figured it's safe. Custom Compact Nationals as a whole is NOT CANCELLED. It will not be held in Carlisle ever again. Does this surprise you? Don't tell me there wasn't...

Sounds good...I'll see you all there. Since I started this thread, maybe 2 weeks later, after calling and asking about the show, I got a job at Carlisle working on the events and moved from NJ to PA. It's always cool to call a cool place and find out they have an opening! Anyway, I'm...

Cool...I'm stoked for the turnout! I'll be there but my car won't (maybe in the parking lot...totally stock!) I'll check you all out. Have fun. Mike

This probably doesn't count but... Since I sold my bikes for the cars, all I do with the P5 is throw my lacrosse equipment in the back. It holds enough stuff to outfit a whole team and the cargo tray/net keeps everything in place pretty well.

From what I know about it so far, Carlisle is going to be huge this year. I'm curious who's considering going from the P5 and MP3 enthusiasts on this board? Give a shout if you're gonna be there so I can look for you and your ride!

I'm looking for an M62 or Screw type S/C as you read this. Or I'm scrapping the project and buying an FM turbo kit. (2thumbs) Now, what to do with the M45... :( (Maybe I'll get another Festiva...);)

I'm with you here, Keith. I do agree...I'm just stuck on the idea that the M45 is acceptable for my needs. I've read and reread "supercharged". I've done the math a hundred times. It seems to work out. Maybe (i'm sure) there's something I'm missing. Maybe you'll just make a Screw S/C...

But our engine "theoretically" requires less than 240 cfm at stock power...

Okay...I looked into it myself. I'll need to spin the M45 @ about 13,000 RPM to get about 310cfm at 7psi, to make about 200hp at the crank (that's a reasonable figure for me...don't really need more than that in this car for what I do with it.) Basically, the M45 at over 13,000 rpm is only...

Supercharger size (FM Kieth?) Back to the aforementioned assessment of supercharger size. I have a few things still standing out in my mind. This isn't a challenge or anything, I just want some more reasoning because, if I can get a decent M62 for a good price and see the reason behind doing...

It's been said in other ways but you want to shift at a point that will drop your next gear right into that 3500rpm sweet spot. Check what speed you are at when in 2nd at 3500 rpm. Suppose it's 35, just for the heck of it. Then, when you are at 35mph in first, shifting to second will put you...

Thanks Kieth, I'll take it under consideration. I'm really not looking for more than 5psi. I'm not sure the stock fuel system with FMU is really ready for anything more anyway. I've already considered using an M62 or an M90 but I've had this M45 sitting around for a while collecting dust...

Hey G, Why are you so upset? You've got a post right above yours from a guy (me) who's been looking into the feasibility of a Supercharger kit (and over halfway through design, almost ready for production) for our cars and all you can do is b**** that the other guys are still praising turbos...

Ummm...Probe and Protege. FS 2.0...seems kind of the same as your comparisons, Equinox. Not flaming, but this an unfair thing to say. That's like calling a Vette a piece of s*** because it had a 350 in it for 20+ years with just some intake, cam, and head changes.
