No, NO....you're definitely right. You're not imagining it. I've seen the same posts. Mostly in regards to tuning differences between the stock and MP3 ECU. I can try to dig up some specific posts if I have time. The main thing people referenced was the poor fuel economy and the constant...

Sweet! Thanks PCB, can always count on you coming to the recue. I was looking through the shop manual but wasn't aware of a separate wiring diagram. Cool! I will take a look! I gave up on trying to wire it without the diagrams after I saw that the loom for the headlight stock went straight...

For reasons which I will describe in a new post soon, I am currently trying to wire up a second foglight switch along side the stock one (in one of the blank spots) to toggle the ability to flash (or toggle) the fog lights with the high beams. I am trying to keep the semi-stock (1-wire foglight...

Oh my goodness. You're kidding. That's an insane deal. Not like it's a super rare sports car or anything, but you could probably double or triple your money on it if you wanted to.

55k?? That's insanely low mileage for an MSP these days!

Somewhere I have a YouTube video bookmarked of a non USDM market P5 (Astina?, SP20?) doing legit AWD donuts in the snow. It's a great video.

Gotcha. There's a guy local to me who's doing a turbo swap on his yellow P5. Maybe him, maybe not. His P5 has a cool history though and he's doing some pretty cool stuff with it.

Replaced my front struts this last weekend. I had previously asked on here about what brand to go with, and ended up purchasing some ACDelco pre-assembled struts. They went in real quick, maybe 30 minutes per side. I think mostly because I had the knuckles already off the car this summer...

Airsofthawaii, those are some real good looking P5s! I am a little jealous. Hmm, not sure how big the turbo P5 community is these days, but I'm in Oregon and I know at least one person locally who is currently building a turbo P5...wonder if one was on your delivery list. I have to agree with...

Dang it you're making me want to spend more money on my P5 now...

I usually make a fuss of people modifying their automatic cars, but yours looks absolutely sick 😍 I will say though, my brother has an 03 Sedan with the Tiptronic transmission and driving that back to back with my manual 03 P5 is an experience. From a dead stop, the Tiptronic has a ton of...

I see. His bumper looks aftermarket but wasn't sure about the fog light deletes. Man, if I could get a hold of some of the factory ones, I'd love to make a CAD model and try 3D printing some of my own. Haha yes, I always remember your P5 as being the lowered silver one with the Tiptronic...

Aw this feels like the end of a small era on this forum. What are we gonna do without PCB always coming to the rescue with the shop manual diagrams??? Okay but actually does your parts car have an MSP bumper and the rare fog light deletes??

I checked RockAuto briefly and for front QuickStruts and individual struts, the part numbers for all that I saw looked the same between the MSP and P5. It's hard to find a definitively separated MP3 vehicle in RockAuto but for a 2001 Sedan, it's the same too. Kind of disappointing if you have...

Will do. The ones I've considered most are the Tein H-Tech Protege5's. You can still find them for ~$230 on eBay and they have a pretty mild drop and (comparatively) a mild spring rate, if the numbers are to be believed. Yes, those are the ones that come to mind. But I wouldn't consider...

Thats odd, I haven't heard much other than good about KYBs. Regardless, I grabbed a set of ACDelco quickstruts. I couldn't imagine having reliability issues with springs. I would guess that the failure mode for them is all or nothing. Just going off intuition though, I could (and very well...

Sweet! Nicely done.
