Thanks, but lol this car has enough stickers as is :^) Maybe I'll put it in the interior... I probably should've investigated those when I took out my struts...well, I can always blast em' with some WD-40 to temporarily stop the squeaking, or so I've been told. I'm also using white lithium...

Same story with DG Motorsports. They made a widebody, but it's a relic lost to the ages! Your best bet is to make your own at this point, I think.

Inactivity Status Report Hi fellas, I don't think I'll have much to post in my build for a while. I have ideas here and there on what I'd like to do, but finding the time to do is difficult. For now, little things that aren't time-consuming, or projects that I can break up into several...

Damn, never a good time when your first post in a long time involves rod knock. Hope you can get the FS-ZE you want or mspeedP5's nutso engine reliably.

Good to hear you got your leak fix! It's such a relief to not have to cringe anytime you drive your car around. Where was the second leak? If your hanger broke off, thus crunching the top of the donut gasket at the header -> midpipe connection, I'd imagine you probably had a leak in the midpipe...

Unfortunately, you're right on the money. No one has them anymore, and if they do, they're missing the rear-left(?). I spent too much damn time looking for them myself, and gave up. They're pretty expensive too...couple them with some aftermarket springs, and you're looking at the same price...

Welcome! The P5's an interesting car to start modding with. It'll never win pulls N/A, and setting it up for turbocharging is a major pain, but that chassis will make you smile, and it has a style the world will never see again. Before really diving into mods, I'd look up quirks, odds and ends...

Still a problem, but a problem I can get around. I can refuel the car slowy by holding the handle a quarter/halfway up. Doesn't get in the way of my racing, thankfully.On the topic of racing, so far this event has been swell. These springs greatly changed the P5's handling characteristics! I...

Actually, dropping down the (very slightly) thicker grade-8 bolts was far easier than the last time! It fit the holes very nicely without scraping the threads, but it didn't jiggle around either. Just a perfect fit. With a washer on top and on bottom, the bolt and nut assembly barely gave me any...

Wow man, those are some beautiful pictures. After staring at so many hatchback wagons, it's nice to see a sedan for once! Seems like all you fellas know each other and have met up. I exist in a vacuum :^|

Damn dude...that SC is going to work wonders! What part number is it, or rather what car did it come from again? Forgot you had those sexy headers. Pacemakers, right? Wish they'd ship to the US, because I'd be all over that.

Swaybar, Again Alright, now the swaybar's here to stay. With copious blue thread locker, lots of attention to detail, lots of me taking my time, and ensuring everything was sufficiently torqued down to spec, I once more have the Racing Beat swaybar in. This time, with some added CR3 Motorsport...

Aye man, glad I could give you some ideas. I run some Yokohama S.Drives, and they've done well for the deal price I got them at. But they're sure as hell not RE-71Rs, and a lot of people can run circles around me! To clarify, I don't participaye in the SCCA. I'm in a time attack hosted by a...

Well fellas, the subframe isn't happening soon. Exams are coming in full force, labs are really ramping up, and I once again have to get creative with a strict time budget. This means that I'm taking lots of homework and textbooks with me to the track Sunday, and heading into the lab once I'm...

Mazda6 (non-MSP) calipers, rotors, pads, etc are a direct drop-in to the Protege/Protege5's front spindle. It's a cheap big-break upgrade, and has done me well in my races. Slap in some aggressive pads like Hawk pads and some sturdier rotors, and that thing will take a beating! I can already...

Lowering Springs As I said, I dropped the P5. Here's a before shot: And an after (if you can make it out. bad camera + poor ability to take pictures is such a bad combo for me): It's nice. With those Eibachs, I do feel the road a little more. They may be progressives, but they still...

I never said I wouldn't go back. It's in a really stupid position that necessitates a cut-off saw, but I don't have one. The muffler and pipe are pinning it down, so it's too much weight for me to press upward to fasten it back into the rear of the car. If I had a cut-off saw, I'd saw off the...

For sure...it's a legitimate problem for me now, thanks to the fact that I botched the subframe removal on the junkyard P5. Little dumb me thought I could totally drop the subframe before removing the lateral links... I plan on just getting a clear coat on it. Carbon fiber on sunburst yellow...

Carbon Fiber Hood, Pt.1 Howdy, I'm pleased to report that I've officially began fixing up the hood! The pal I mentioned truly is a great guy. He's got some expertise in regard to bodywork, as he's done a lot of restoration work in the past. He showed me how to use a grinder properly (it had a...

PCB, I don't know why that's never occurred to me to try that lmao...thanks for the pointer! I'm going to toss a 9V battery into my tool box for whenever I need to pull electric parts. Ah okay, I see what you mean. I've a bad tendency to assume the worst in people, lol. Well, I'm glad you...
