    Philip came by this weekend and I took delivery of the P5 Nugget. I'm excited to have it in my den of vehicles. I believe he grabbed some pics so you should see some updated pics of the car shortly.

    bwalt's MSP build log

    This is such an exciting thing to see!! glad to see it making good power and times at the track. If i may ask- the axles and gears were they pricey? Also for the gearing- did you change up the ratios for highway driving?

    the p5nugget

    drove it to work this am- i enjoy these cars quite a bit but god damn is the highway cruising terrible(transmission sound @ 70-80mph) It needs a 6th gear badly. oh well. It was a good time. Yes he said he wanted msp seats in it so I did that. easy and quick mod. I won't mod this very much other...

    the p5nugget

    Good pics Phil.. the funny thing is- I have msp seats in my garage for my msp, which I don't plan to use. I want speed3 seats for it. haha. so we can check that off the list.

    the p5nugget

    Officially/unofficially I am/will be the new owner. I'm excited to get it from Phil. For me this will be a daily driver as I build/put the msp together and attempt to take off the daily use of my truck. I have something like 55k miles on my 2016 Silverado, which isn't BAD... but it's not good...

    Thanks so much Scott. It's been an experience to say the least. I couldn't be happier. 323 and I and a few others have been trying to get this thing back to where it was... it will never be. the protege/p5 platform is all but dead, unfortunately. There are a few of us still kicking, and I will...

    [DEFUNCT] The College-Budget P5

    5th and reverse IIRC are on the end of the transmission(behind the black metal cover)... maybe it could use a looksy.. it's possible that the nuts are loose somehow? working on cars in a shop, a lot of them come in without the ability to fill the tank. when we go into it- it tends to be on the...

    Slow NA Pro5 build

    i don't know if it's the same, but i added a leveling kit to my silverado- they're aluminum spacers. I don't feel the jarring all that much, if at all. I love it. added 3" overall. not a big fan of raising cars, but to each his own. You can get godspeed coilovers for like 600 brand new on ebay.

    Completely Stumped with my 2003 P5

    there's an issue with the intake manifold flaps letting loose and pinging around on top of the cylinder. I'd pull the intake manifold and see if the butterfly valves are together or not. and make sure all screws are attached- if not- they're on the piston.
