So today after 6 good years of ownership 42,000 miles (including 4 cross country drives), and 2 full seasons of autox I handed the keys to my P5 over to my brother. The car has been perfect with no major mechanical problems. Course I've got the standard clutch chatter, clogged EGR, torn motor...

So as the title state I've recently been considering trying to pick up a miata and go play in STS, or possibly ES. I figured this would be the best place to start asking questions so here goes. How much should I think about paying? Im ok with buying either a prepped car or something thats...

So while installing my driver-side motor mount my friend accidentally loosened one of the connections in my clutch line. Thankfully he realized his mistake before completely disconnecting the line and was able to re-tighten the connection. However it has developed a slow leak since then. Both...

So I was at a shop getting new tires installed the other day and the call me and let me know that my rear brakes need to be replaced soon. They say my pads have about 3mm left on em and the rotors are too far gone to be turned. They also let me know that my front brakes look fine and have...

This Sunday, June 8 the Western Ohio Region of the SCCA is hosting and auto-x with the Cincinnati Region in Dayton, OH. Specifically the event location is Kil-kare Speedway. This is the first event of the season for WOR and a great time for anyone who hasn't done auto-x before to come out and...

So I'm having alot of issues with my tires rolling over in tight corners during autox. I've done all I can with tire pressures setting them from mid 30's to mid 40's with no noticeable change in wear patterns during my runs. Its become a problem to the point of the tires rolling to wear over...

So its time to get new tires for my P5. The tires I have now are sized 205/45/17 on a 17x7.5 rim with 48+ offset. Now I know that a 215/40/17 will fit no problems but I'm also looking at 215/45/17 in order to put down a touch more sidewall. My question is will the larger tire fit with no...

So Ive been autoxin my p5 for about a year now and am starting to get a good feel for the car. Im pretty competitive in my region but that isnt saying a whole lot. Basically I do alright in my class but when it comes to PAX times or RAW times Im very far down in the field. So as I start to...

Today was the first day of the rest of my life. I entered my first auto-x event in the western ohio region in STS. I went out just to have fun and not break anything and somehow ended up winning my class against an old supra and a honda prelude. It was sooo much fun I cant wait till my next...

Until now my MP5 has lived in Texas where we dont have winter. However, its now up at school with me in Dayton, Ohio. That means I need some all seasons to use during the winter instead of the summer tires I have on now. The winters here are fairly mild with light snow and ice but nothing...

Whenever I am turning right with a good amount of lock, like atleast 3/4 of a turn and then start off in 1st gear with a decent amount throttle (not flooring it but more than half) I get a very strong vibration through the steering wheel. The vibration will continue even after I straighten the...
