Another Red P5 with 3.5 Racing Harts (pics inside)

[dream merchant]

after seeing CruisingAltitudes red P5 setup i went ahead and took the plunge. i got this set of wheels and tires from a guy here on the forum which ended up being local. tires had like 2k miles on them and the wheels were flawless.

its a 2002 P5 with a Eibach Prokit, which i also got from another member here on the forum... oh and a MSP axleback.

man this thing looks so much better now. the changes definitely killed the new car bug i had going a couple of weeks ago...

here it is stock when i first bought it back in '02:

here it is now:

enjoy.

How much are those MSP rims? I've been thinking about getting some...

 

[dream merchant]

i paid 1k.

600 for the wheels, 400 for tires.

u can find a ton in the for sale thread. i spoke to a bunch of people selling them for 575 - 700 shipped. as well as some deals like 800 for both wheels and tires... take a look and u will definitely find some u like.

i opted to go with the local seller since it was so much easier...

abel.

Awesome pics. What camera do you use?

thanks..

i use an Olympus 3040z. its a 3.1mp cam and ive had it for about 2 years now. those pics are completely in auto mode so i didnt make any changes etc. also those pics are resized straight from the originals so there was no color saturation changes etc in photoshop. its was kinda cloudy this morning so it wasnt super bright outside..

ive actually been in the market for a new cam and im leaning towards a canon G5. canons take very nice pictures...

if u have any more questions... lemme know. im kinda a digi-cam junkie.

I have a question. Can you come down here and take a picture of my car (naughty). You can use my digicam if you want (dunno)

cloudy/overcast = nice even light, no harsh shadows

Actually, pretty good weather until next Friday, I hope so. Right now it is sunny here which is really good for me. I just washed and waxed my car yesterday.

I missed the sound of the Mazdaspeed exhaust. I sold it last time and I changed to Greddy catback. A little bit too loud for me but I can feel the difference in performance and gas

Those rims really changed the look of your P5.

 

[ELEmental59437]

I love your car.

 

[uclap5]

By the way how loud is the MSP exhaust?

 

[Dimitrios]
