    P5 Dimensions. NEED HELP!

    When we got the house I was going there everyday after work and fixing up stuff. Then one day at the end of October we just moved out. Things have been crazy since then but we are finally starting to settle-in. I would love to have a GTX. No room at the house right now though. Oh well.

    P5 Dimensions. NEED HELP!

    The reason I am looking for something with a similar wheelbase is so I could look further into positioning of transmission and clutch/shifter. This is obviously a long term project and as such it would not be a daily driver or anything. I have no qualms at all about stripping out the P5. I've...

    P5 Dimensions. NEED HELP!

    I seriously don't understand why someone cannot ask for help on this forum without all of the naysayers and insult artist coming out to play. None of you know my financial situation and even if I couldn't afford it, generating ideas is what this forum is all about. I asked for ASSISTANCE. If...

    P5 Dimensions. NEED HELP!

    I'm looking for a vehicle that has a similar wheelbase and track-width as the Protege5. I would like to do a rearwheel drive conversion with engine swap. I know this will probably bring out a lot of criticisim but oh well. Hopefully I will be able to put a V6 or inline 6 into the P5. I...

    HiBoost Mazda3 runs 11's w/ VID!!!

    Too bad "cuarto de milla" is less than the "quarter mile." And a segundo is a little longer than a second. :) Cool though. (first)

    Family size increased by 50%!! (big pics)

    The size of my family just increased by 50%. A beautiful baby girl was born to us January 28th 2006 at 10:39am. Her name is Alana Beatrix and she is 7lbs 2oz. and measures almost 20 inches. I have the goofy smile on my face and my wife Elizabeth is the new Mom.

    Any police officers here?

    What were the circumstances behind getting pulled over? Was it only dark out or was it foggy/snowing/raining? I assume you had it out for a while since you haven't said that it had just happened. If I were a cop, I'd ticket you too if there were inclement driving conditions(see above) but not...

    Turbocharged Acura RDX @ NAIAS

    I've driven many different BMW models and the X3 is not up to par in my opinion. The interior is cheaper looking and feeling than the other models and the I don't like the outside either. The X5 looks and feels like a BMW, I think the X3 is cheepened.

    Volvo C30 design concept

    I think it would look better with more of a squared-off rear. A more upright rear window I guess.

    New Mazda Kabura Concept

    If they make it light and keep it small the low HP could be ok. Look at the Elise after all. I like the profile and 3/4 but that face makes me want to give Mazda design a collective slap.

    X-Drilled/Slotted Rotor Question

    The front rotors are vented and I believe that you should be ok with either orientation of the rotor since the vents are non-directional. Some rotors have vents that are angled and these usually come marked with for whichever side they are appropriate. Do a search for some porsche or Ferrari...
