No news for a long time from you Nuke!!! Wow! That this thread is still alive shows that there are still a lot of good vibes headin' your way Sir Nuke, very happy about it. Keep on honkin' dude! From the North!(drinks)

Bonjour cousin de France! En effet, l'antirouille couvre entirement le dessous de la voiture.

My pleasure Nuke. Sincerely hope to meet you in person some day. And please remember, you truly helped me and my family spiritualy 6 years ago, and I needed that. Thank you in return. Sad to say I sold my P5 yesterday, after 8 years and 8 months to the day. Car had 239000km on it (that's...

SOLD! SOB! My baby's gone...

I can't believe my thread is still active! I have been away from this site for quite a while, still in contact with SirNuke so I get news from him from time to time, and his BIRTHDAY is coming soon!!! So happy you are still with us Nuke. I know one day we'll meet. Glad to see older members...

That's the very best you'll ever get Falco. Engine must be in good condition. Don't know about your gas tank, but I can put 6L more after the fuel pump stops. How about you? My P5 is now over 7 years old, 198755km on the odometer, and mileage is 9L/100km on average lately. Still on the...

Yup, 10.5L/100km is about right for city driving.

That time once again!!!! Happy birthday Sir Nuke!(dance)

Hullo! I truly want to believe, but find it hard to. I've had the P5 for over 6 years, and my VERY best is 710.3km, driving like an old fart, and I dumped 52 litres of gas in the tank! And driving at 2500-2600 RPM on the 401, you were at what, 85km/h? Not sure you would have survived the...

Everyone! Sir Nuke has great news, I'll let him the honor of telling you all, so be patient and he'll get here soon. Hint : bells...

I allways fill up to the cap, and it's almost 5 litres more...and I only go to the same gas station (I can count on my fingers the number of times I've had to go elsewhere), same pump. I asked a Mazda tech if topping off is bad or good, he told me it was bad in the old days, now makes no...

Don't know what you guys do different, I have over 6 years/167000km of use and the best EVER I got is 7.38l/100km (31.9m/US gal), and the worse is close to 10l/100km (23.5m/US gal). I drive on the highway, on cruise, at an average speed of 105km/h, shift at 3k-3.5k RPM, all the time. Very...

Wow! You brought this one back from the dead! To be honest, mine isn't doing any better. The K&N is clean, tires in excellent shape, I drive at the speed limit (60mph), never over rev, and the recent average is about 9.7 l/100km...very bad. Next step I might try is to replace the ignition...

Nuke's in great spirits. I will ask him to answer to you all soon since he's been quite busy lately and I ain't sure if he has a computer at home right now, so he can't get online easily. To all who have taken the time to read this thread, thanks so much. Sir Nuke still needs your good...

You're right, sorry if I offended you, wasn't my intention. I haven't driven in serious rain situation yet, will see. The TPT is a touring tire, the P5 is a sporty car, all I'm saying is to not expect the TPT to live up to what the car can do. Personnaly, I knew what I was buying and since...

Time will tell for me, we all have different driving "techniques"...it's NOT a sporty tire, period.

Metropolitain Rustproofing Yes, they are good, but they make a mess of your car since they no longer wash it after the treatment. Since they could not find an economical way to extract the oil from the water when washing the car, and they wanted to be IS014001 approved, they let you go home...

Ok, just to help anyone make a choice : Kumho 711 : did over 41000 km on a set. FANTASTIC tires, they hug the pavement wether it's wet or dry, very stiff sidewalls, an excellent choice for a cheap alternative in sporty driving. But, they are NOISY as hell. Toyo Proxes TPT : Very smooth...
