we've had the P5 for roughly 6 months, back in Sept, we were seeing 500-550K from a full tank to empty running 89 octane(80% highway), Mid october, i put in a K&N filter, lots almost 50K to a tank, as i have lost with all my cars to date that received a K&N filter. Winter then hit, and a...

P5's are slow, Peppy around town, quick enuff to sneak into traffic, but on the highway, i have to time passing people. I think my v6 toyota pickup would give it a run for the money 0-60mph, and its too is a slug. We bought the p5 because of its great factory handling, all wheel discs, decent...

yeah, yeah, fart louder. So the end links are a common problem with these cars. Im not surprised, it looks like a long thin dogbone that a chihuahua can break on first bite. The one side of mine making the clunk has ever so slight movement. Just enuff movement to resonate throughout the car's...

IM gonna check my engine compression now that im on the topic. So the FS motors are low compression or regular? 9.5-10:1? The turbo colts are 7.8:1 and run only 7psi stock for the early generation, and 10psi stock for the later generation, both no IC. I shall research this some more, just...

well, this clunk is ever so slight. Its hard getting used to car that is quiet. I cant hear the motor. At least my other cars have an exhaust which dampens many clunks. Im sure if i was to put my 15" vega in the p5, i would hear lots of rattles too. That is why the p5 is the wife's, and staying...

So all motors are the 2.0l? IF so, i take it the p5 has typical compression motor, maybe the mp3 a higher compression motor, and the msp has the low compression and forced air. If its like the talons and colts and hyundai elantra/sonata's, they are all the same motor, with the difference of...

I havent had the chance yet to check out the engine bay of an msp or mp3. I understand the mp3 is a NT motor, and msp is a tiny turbo'ed motor. What is the difference between the p5 and the other two? What is our motor's name? is it the same is what is on the vin plate? I would like to see...

I wonder if the p5's have a weak endlink. We recently bought our 03 p5, and so far the only problem i have found with it has been a light clunk noise from the front left side. I raised the car up, tie rods and ball joints are tight, but it seems the sway bar endlink has slight movement. Is...

I can argue this further, if you just go "Low", and dont change your spring rate, you are simply going to bounce around corners and bumps/imperfections on the road. As well, you need to get the proper dampers for your application, and also you need to stiffen the frame/body. By just going "low"...

We have been looking for a silver 03 w/ sunroof and 5spd stick with the tweeters in the doors. Finally found one in mint virgin shape. Original paint with just two stone chips on it, absolutely no dents. First thing the p5 is gonna get is Krown rust oil sprayed, a hitch, and second set of rims...

HI i just need the rims, i plan on putting new winter tires on those. $400 for just the rims?

I cut springs on my 88 colt, ONLY because no one makes springs for them anymore. I only cut 1 full coil off the top section of spring. It did nothing to the ride, and lowered it roughly 1". I would love to get proper lowering springs with designed spring rates for the application. I still...

So, has anyone checked to see if the wiring is harness is in the location, even if you dont have the sub?

Oh, I do want a factory stereo. Im tired of having to worry about my equipment in the car. I just want a decent sounding factory system. This isnt the 80's when cars came with crappy radio's. Im seriously looking for a bone stock decent car from factory, which has good handling/braking...

I wonder now if the canadian model cars at least have the wiring harness ready for the sub? I used to have a 92 maxima, which had the harness for the seat heaters, but that was never an option here, only in the states and australia it was an option. I assume the sub is a an active sub, meaning...

Damn, we canadians always get stiffed, just like with the evo8's!! Of course a turbo is the only option i would go with!!! to be honest, there is no such thing as cheap and quick, i was just relatively speaking. Its gonna be hard going from a quick turbo 4 to a NA 4. I do like the handling and...

I am currently looking to buy an 03 P5, with the upgraded stereo, I have only so far seen one with the tweeters and 6disk changer, but no spare tire sub. From what i have read, there was an option of a sub? I have yet to see one. Or was that only an american option? Not available on Canadian...

sure, flames are cool on any car. Even on a late 80's Mitsubishi Mirage/ dodge colt. The flames are even cooler when they're pink!! http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/drcolt2000/detail?.dir=5d15&.dnm=57ec.jpg&.src=ph I can post up more pics later, i need to upload them from my other pc.
