I'll voice my interest as well. I'm finally getting to the point where I could do such a mod on my P5 and now see that MAM is not around in AZ anymore? Bummer, because I'm a mod noob and was counting on paying for the help.

Aaron, 30... uh... (quick math here) 33 yeah! Bought my P5 in September '04. I regularly redline shift it and have mastered heel-toe in it - even with the tiny throttle pedal. I need bigger pedals. Hot damn! I'm amazed I haven't gotten a speeding ticket yet. Anyone recommend a good radar...

My wife works for an insurance agency in Austin, and they recommend Safelite. When my Expedition's (now traded for the Mazdas) windshield cracked, they came to my work and replaced it. I had no complaints with them.

No prob :) (2thumbs)

Is this what you're talking about? http://www.msprotege.com/members/HiBoost%20TS/P5%20Race.WMV I saw it in the HiBoost vs. MAM thread over in the Forced Induction forum. http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93535

(rlaugh) What... real life isn't like Fast and the Furious??? Holy crap.

Without a doubt. You don't want to mess around with this key piece of safety equipment. It's a pain that they're so expensive, but it's because it's not a trivial part on the car.

Damn. My wife and I want to go, but we're going to be in Arizona that week. Oh well, we'll wait for the next one!

If the radio and lights work with the new battery, but it doesn't crank, I'd be concerned the new battery is any good, and get it tested before diving into anything broken or blown in the car.

Heheheh

AH! (smash) I suppose this means I have an 02.5?

I'm just scratching my head because mine only come on when I put my turn signal on. They don't come on with the parking lights or the headlights, and then blink brighter when the turn signal is on. They're either off, or blinking with the turn signal. (shrug)

I suppose to each his own. I have to agree that custom is cool in most cases, but I'd rather see something on that CF hood. Like maybe a screaming yellow graphic of that lowrider dude. :eek:

Am I too f***ing old or what? I just don't get what is cool about a carbon fiber hood. (huh)

Most passenger cars' suspension is tuned to always push (understeer) rather than be loose (oversteer) because a push condition is much more managable for an inexperienced driver. By letting the clutch out in the middle of the corner without blipping the gas to match engine revs, your engine is...

Yeah that's not right, your car should not be doing that.

The front brace between the suspension mount points is stock. I think that's what you're referring to. That doesn't preload the suspension, in fact it's not a suspension piece. It's there to give the chassis more rigidity. That is, it doesn't let the chassis flex or twist under extreme...

It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong to me. You exactly described variable assist steering - low speed gives more assist, which drops off as you get going for better wheel feel and steering response. However, if the car pulls consistently to one side, that could be uneven tire wear or...

If you have a digital camera that has some sort of autoexposure settings, you can put the camera on a tripod or steady it on a surface and turn off the flash. What options you have really depends on your camera.

Yeah, that's how I took it, that they aren't showing the headlights especially well.
