Ok, here's a short story first of all. I had a rod bearing go on my p5 so i decided i should tear the whole engine out of the car and replace the main bearings as well. I had to remove the transmission in order to get the main bearing support plate off. Anyway, long story short everything went...

Hi everyone...as the title suggests i'm trying to figure out how to remove the Main Bearing Support Plate. I have removed the oil pan and all bolts holding the plate in place (as far as I know). I have been prying at the plate for a while and cannot get it to move at all! I did find a thread on...

Hi, a while ago I decided to do a major overhaul on my P5. I ran into some trouble when it came to removing the A-arms. There is a bolt (see picture) that was very difficult to undo so I used an impact driver to try to loosen it. It went a few turns and then went completely loose but did not...

Hi, I am installing fogged out rockblocker overlays on my tail lights and headlights and i am thinking of installing LED bulbs to give me a bit more light so my signal and break lights will be more visible (don't want to get too much s*** from the cops!) Anyway, I was looking at this site and i...

Hi, I have searched the forum for about an hour trying to find the thread that had the link to a site that sells the abs speed sensors for the P5. I have not been able to find it. I checked with the dealer and they want about $250 Cdn each for the damn things. I'd greatly appreciate if somebody...

Ok here's my dilemma...I have a P5 with about 140,000km (90k miles) on it. I have recently bought a High Boost turbo kit that i'm awaiting shipment off. I had a buddy tell me that i would blow the piston rings if i install it on my car now. Has anybody installed a turbo on a high mileage vehicle...

Hi, I thought i'd screw around with photoshop a bit and so i "painted" my hood red! I did not modify the wheels, they already have the red lip on them. I have a red and black leather interior in the car so i was trying to go with the red theme on the outside as well Let me know what you guys...

Hi, I just found out that my old struts finally gave up the ghost! I guess this means i get to finally buy some better ones...lol...but what's the best bang for the buck. Any help is appreciated here...what are you guys running that works well but doesn't break the bank. I just bought a turbo...

Hi, i was thinking of turbocharging my P5. Where do you connect the oil line to feed the turbo? Do i have to drill and tap the block or is there an existing oil feed? Thanks!

Hey, I have been contemplating boosting my P5! I don't know a lot about Turbos but i know some of the very basics. I have found a used Turbo Kit. I have done some bolt on stuff and helped rebuild an old diesel VW engine. My question is am I going to be able to install it myself? What...

Has anybody tried the rockblocker paint protection stuff. I was thinking of getting some for my bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors but i'm not sure how the fit/look is and how difficult it is to apply. Thanks for any input on this!

I am thinking of buying some dash trim for my P5 and I was wondering if the protege dash is the same as the protege5 dash since I found a website selling dash kits but they only make them for the protege. BTW if anybody has tried some dash kits they were happy with I'd like to know where you...

Hi, I was wondering if it's worth the trouble to install new cams on my p5. I have a CAI and aftermarket exhaust. OBX header is on the way as well as engine mounts and an Underdrive Crank Pulley. What kinda gains should i expect from these cams...

Hi, i was going to install some headers on my P5. I'm wondering what to do with the O2 sensors. I want to install a custom 2 1/2 exhaust system so how do you do it without a catalytic converter since your check engine light will be on without it? Thanks

Hi I live in Edmonton, AB, Canada and i'm trying to get my hands on some of this Redline MT90 that everybody has been raving about. Well I can't seem to find a place that actually sells the stuff locally. Do I have to order it in or what's the deal...Thanks

Been thinking about getting an after market intake cam for my P5. Apparently i don't need a different ECU for this. How difficult is it to install the cam by yourself? What kind of power will you gain from this mod? Any cams that you recommend? Does this hugely change fuel economy? Thanks

Hi, I've installed an after market exhaust and have an Air Intake coming. I'm trying to decide weather to get some headers next or to get an intake manifold. I'm trying to create some easy HP here...lol. Thanks for any advice!
