    What have you done to your P5 today?

    Give it a good punch! Last time my old CD player ate a CD, a good whack released it. On second thought, not too hard, otherwise you'll break it completely. There's a reason why I have a new headunit lol

    What a beautiful, but somewhat somber photo :^( Hope your parts arrive in a timely manner. Got any backup vehicles?

    [DEFUNCT] The College-Budget P5

    You know what? You make a really good point. Only problem is that in order to install the lateral links, I need to drop the subframe a little, which means risking breaking weld nuts I can't fix. Now I'm paranoid!

    Grif's White P5

    Ah man, that sucks. Do you know how to weld, or do you have a shop/pal that can help? Good luck with that exhaust hanger. Is that second picture from the awr endlink? I can't tell. Well, at least I can vouch for the RB Catback. Quiet when you want it, loud otherwise. Problem is, it's not...

    I got them off of the CR3 website, back when I thought the relocation brackets were in stock. You can slso buy tgem directly from AWR. When you install them, you'll be quite pleased with the stability and rigidity added in the rear! Yeah, thank God, am I right? Nice and easy, and nothing broke...

    Sadness. Glad it could serve as a positive introduction to the world of P5s, though. I'm still mad at that one lady that rear-ended you lol

    College Student First Car Build

    That sucks! With how crappy the roof rack plastic is, might as well find some rack deletes. So damn brittle after all these years.

    AWR Trailing Arms AWR Trailing arms have been installed! Image taken before tightening up the brake line mount. It was an incredibly easy installation. Such a relief, especially after jury-rigging the swaybar, ripping out the VTCS and installing that, putting in the new starter... It...

    Indeed. It's more or less a convoluted kill switch, only instead of being wired into the fuel pump relay, it's wired to the clutch switch. Now that I think about it, a kill switch for the fuel system, and this lockout system I'm scheming together would mean no one would ever drive away with my...

    Looking for a mazdaspees lip.

    That's a msp lip! It looks to be in somewhat rough condition. I will send a PM here in a bit.

    Grif's White P5

    That Mishimoto radiator is badass. You'll love how it kerps your car cool even under track duress! Just one tip. If your thermo ever (and hopefully won't) go out, don't replace it with a "high performance" thermo with a lower temp threshold. Your car will approach operational temperatures, but...

    I still want to try that clutch bypass hack. Ever since I read about it in that megathread, it caught my attention. Plus, given the fuse over the plug, I could take it a step further and wire in a switch combo lockout mechansim! You wouldn't be able to hotwire the car that way, if I read the...

    (Apologies for a lack of pictures) A special thanks to pcb for his starter diagram, and to Kiwi for his informative anecdote! I got the old starter out, which was easier than anticipated. Annoying, yes, but easy. Seems like all my sockets and wrenches were just too long or too short, or had...

    02 Mazda P5 "Bumblebee"

    Nice and clean P5! I'm a sucker for little details, and those striker covers are wonderful. Where did you get those? And is that an AWR 4-2-1 header? Quite the nice piece indeed.

    LankyKiwi's Rally-flavored SP20

    Man, already moving up to those BC coilovers? I'm so envious! Everyone has some fancy suspension set up on their car except for me now :^) Man that P5's going to ride so nicely with those on. With those, you have to dump some money on a good set of tires to take advantage of your car's newfound...

    MZDA WLF Proteg5 "build"

    It's harder to notice any changes beneath 4.5kRPM and 5kRPM. There's probably a little more gumption down there, but I'm not sure. The biggest advantage of the MP3 ECU is how you can cleanly redline the car now rather than have it choke around 5.5kRPM. You'll certainly enjoy the benefits on...

    [DEFUNCT] The College-Budget P5

    Got a starter! After reading so many people argue and bicker over whether remanufactured from Duralast was good or not, I decided to just buy one anyways. I'm sick of not having the car and watching the flash rust build up; it's time for a fix. Installation seems simple enough. Three bolts...

    :^D Suzukis are such cool little cars! I've seen PCB's a while ago, but haven't seen your van. We Americans never received the kei stuff. One of these days, I'll import a Suzuki Alto Works RS/R or RS/X. Would be so rad to own one...

    Well, car's still sitting...As of today, I have about a week and a half to not only continue getting money for a starter, but to install it when it arrives. And I still have those trailing arms to install. Next race day is drawing near, and I've nothing! Can't wait till summer break rolls...
