    Estimates on Rust Repair

    those are much better and it does look good except from the front it looks a bit off in the top of the wheel wells. i would like to know how it all mounts to the car.

    Estimates on Rust Repair

    right there is my biggest problem, i do not know of anyone with that kit on this forum so I have no way to judge it completely. from the looks of it though its pretty decent for being a body kit for our car (considering some are just awful looking). the only other pic i have seen of a p5 with...

    Estimates on Rust Repair

    i mean carbon fiber would be pretty cool in theory but i would still paint it to match. not to mention it costs twice as much. if i did it i would do my best to keep the price low (I would paint it myself) so the urethane kit would be the way to go.

    Estimates on Rust Repair

    the only other thing that might be cheaper is buying the "wide" body kit DG motorsports makes. i think the urethane kit is only 400 and would actually go right over the area and isn't really that different from looking stock. you would still have to paint that but it would definitely be cheaper...

    Estimates on Rust Repair

    my friend had an estimate done for a rust bubble developing on his rear wheel well, same place a lot of people, including myself :(, get them. I think this is the same area you are talking about but the problem is if it is bad enough they need to cut it out and weld a new piece in which is...

    New to forums check out my P5

    welcome to the forums, first thing you need to do is get new springs, even if they are a stock set, its better than having those cut up ones. that sub is ridiculously huge, i have 2 12" Polk Momo's and they take up only half that much, if that! good news is you won't have to worry about the box...

    Is there a link for parts cross over from MSP to P5 ??

    i do not believe there is a thread devoted to this topic but they share a lot of the same stuff (not including turbo parts of course). your best bet is to either search individual items or just post questions about them.

    RX-8 Seats

    it would be really awesome if the seats fit the side airbag sensor plugs...then those of us with them could have a viable replacement seat option!

    Protege 5 Speed

    saves that type of speed for the track guys/gals, it really is hard to justify going over 100 on public roads at anytime not to mention our cars really are not meant to do that.

    So you want mudflaps on your Protege 5?

    Wtf mpg!

    warm weather is definitely a huge factor for you, in the summer here i dont get below 27 unless i get stuck in a traffic jam

    Wtf mpg!

    i get anywhere from 22-40 all depending but the low mpg is due to winter gas here combined with city driving. i also basically have every bolt-on which explains why i can get close to 40 in the summer. these are all under normal driving conditions as in I don't romp on it but i definitely don't...

    So you want mudflaps on your Protege 5?

    mine definitely drag but only at low speeds with more than 4 people in my car. once the car gets moving the air pushed them off of the ground (I am also lowered for the record). so basically 99% of the time i drive they are off the ground and do not cause any fuss. although this summer i plan on...

    Aftermarket Seats - What you got?

    before you even think of seats make sure your p5 doesn't come with side airbags because that is a problem. there is a way around it but when you start messing with safety equipment you really have to ask yourself is it worth it. Also you don't want an airbag to accidentally go off, that is just...

    1st gear stutter: What could be causing it?

    sounds like a misfire in one of the cylinders. if you get a basic tune up it should get rid of it.

    Has anyone done actual HP #'s on bolt on performance parts for the P5 ??

    The best bolt on performance pieces you can buy for our cars are suspension bits. The P5s engine does not respond to N/A mods at all really but if you put money in to springs, struts, rear sway bar, light wheels and summer tires, it will corner with the best of them. Most people think of...
