Yes that sucks really hard, but consider yourself lucky someone tipped you off - unlike me when I got back to my car all scratched up...

I don't know if your the same as my P5, but my TWM came with spacers to stand-off the heat shield a bit - could easily be done with a stack of washers or a short piece of pipe.

Well that's an interesting and similar story to my own, I saw my first P5 on my way home from an Ikea store I was building (I'm an electrician) late in the year 2001. It was yellow, it looked fantastic, and I knew that despite being a 4 door (not what I was looking for) that this would be the...

Last time I parked way out in the back lot, soo far away from everyone so no one would scratch me: some jackass stole my rear emblem scratching the s*** out of my paint. Now I risk the dings.

Not bad, but not 'me' either. I wouldn't swap, but thanks for the offer...

I'm right there with you, I don't mind walking so sometimes I'll park way out in the empty back section of a lot, no cars within 200 feet, and I ALWAYS return to find some sheep parked beside me.

Looks like a Saturn to me - I don't like the look.

I wish my work Van could accelerate as fast as my Protege, then maybe I wouldn't be stuck behind Bozos doing 40 in a 60 zone. But alas it's an aaarrgghh - ford econoline. Now THAT is a POS!

As opinions seem to be rampant around here, let me offer an educated one: I say this because I test drove a SPEC-V and liked it a lot. It was very nice to drive and VERY quick - altogether a finely built Japanese automobile, Much like my protege (minus the quick at the moment, I'm afraid). If...

1010tires.com has some good deals on some good rubber (I got some great Kumhos for cheap...)

The dash looks friggin :cool: . I for one would like to see some pix of your ride...

Those are ADR Kasai rims if I'm not mistaken, VERY nice, I have the same...

I've found it useful to go to the site of the manufacturer of the part I want, and looking at their supplier list for someone in Canada.

I gotta say I envy you guys who say that the P5 is uncommon in your area, around here (Canadian West coast) they're EVERYWHERE. However, no regrets I love my car and no matter how common they are they still look great.

Also gotta consider the moonroof, the cruise control, and the convenience of a hatchback all of which you can only get with a 5.

Hey Bzz, I was waiting for someone knowledgeable to come along and answer your questions, but since they haven't, I'll try: 1) Manufacturers suggested fuel type is very important, the higher octane reqs for this car are due to the change in combustion temp. due to the extra air forced into the...

Only one complaint about living in Canada - too many smart people, the roads are covered with P5s! (in this area anyway)

Hey Darksyde, I'd just like to know why you say Kinetic is the best, are you boosted? BTW, I'd like to know more about your buddy with the cat-backs for sale, I'm still shopping...

Actually, the camber remains perfect, one thing I did need pretty bad was a wheel alignment, for which I needed to ask around a few places to find somewhere that would even touch my car once it'd been lowered (like I've sinned somehow).
