    Drive It Like You Stole It

    A lot of people really enjoy their cars. Others just see them as a tool to get to and from work/school/etc. The people who enjoy are typically people who frequent forums like this. Many would like to be able to enjoy their cars to the fullest, but the closest they can get is a facsimile on...

    Eibach ProKit Alignment

    The OP's problem sounds more like too much toe. For the most part, you can run zero toe unless you're doing some serious competition. Even then, on an AX course, you'd run 0.2 toe out. For the track, more in the range of 0.02 toe out, although that varies by taste and driving style/ability...

    How To: P5 Rear Door Panel Removal

    The C-field stuff posted on the first page helped me to get in there. I had (still have) a problem with the window actuator assembly. The switch is fine...the motor is fine...the little plastic piece where the pulleys make the window go up and down is broken. For me, there was no yanking...

    I am in need of advice on my wife's brakes... I think I got screwed.

    Considering the shop screwed it up before, I'd be reticent to return and have them work on it at all. I completely understand your point, but I think you may have missed mine. Basically it comes down to this: If the shop put me or my family in danger because of their shoddy workmanship, my...

    I am in need of advice on my wife's brakes... I think I got screwed.

    Calling the shop to get them to bleed your brakes is one idea, but probably in the time it would take to drive there and back, you could do it yourself. Brake work is remarkably easy to do, and anyone with the ability to hold a wrench in their hand and apply the correct side to the necessary...

    Cross Drilled Or Slotted??

    For what you're doing, the Greenstuff should be fine. You can get the Redstuff, but I don't think you'll need it. You might also consider the Hawk HP+ or Blue pads from TireRack.

    Flyin' Mazda P5 exhaust

    I'd be interested, as long as it's not one of the coffee can ones. I'd like a nice but reasonably stealth one.

    Cross Drilled Or Slotted??

    http://www.ajusa.com/ I've bought a lot of stuff from them for both my cars. Make sure to ask if things are in stock and when they'll be shipped. Sometimes, things are a week out and you don't get them when you were hoping. They're not the only company I've had that problem with. I ordered...

    Cross Drilled Or Slotted??

    It sounds like you don't do much hard braking at all. The stock setup would probably work well for you. If you want a better feel, try braided lines. If you want to get a good rotor, then go for the EBC slotted and dimpled. It has a good ability to keep the system cool because of the extra...

    Cross Drilled Or Slotted??

    I used to use SuperBlue and Typ200 (alternating so I could tell when the bleed was done) and I boiled those as well. I can run an entire season (20-30 track days) on one flush of SRF. It's truly amazing stuff. It might cost 4 times as much, but you get 8-10 times the use, and then only...

    Cross Drilled Or Slotted??

    My thoughts on brakes...simple: Get the best you can afford. On my P5, I have the EBC slotted/dimpled with ceramic pads. Combine that with (nearly) R compound tires and you'll stop the car with no difficulty. Stay away from cross-drilled rotors. They look cool on show cars, but if you're...
