A week and a half ago my jeep got sold, so i was able to go looking for a p5. I ended up choosing a 2002 white p5 thats lowered about 2 inches with some 18's. I'm not crazy about the rim size... i'd like 17's.. but i'll just stick with these for a while. It also has injen CAI and magnaflow catback, which i will probably switch out the exhaust sometime soon. Its nice to go to the gas station and not spend 48 bucks filling up a huge jeep gas tank :) at the bottom is the jeep i sold..

very nice, I dig the soobie too. that jeep was a beast man.....I bet you're not complaining about the p5's handling compared to the jeep either
 
Nice and clean! I think the rims look really good w/ the drop. Look into some JDM tails. It would look hot with that white.
 
yeah i can't stand those taillights.. and the owner didn't have the originals. He did give me the stock springs... which we just used on my buddies protege. We went ghetto and cut a coil off each of the springs, and it sits perfect with his 17's, and the ride quality hardly changed at all, but handling characteristics improved by a decent amount
 
haha.. the jeep had neither swaybar hooked up... i just learned to be a patient driver with that thing. I just had a big payment on it and decided iwas tired of buying gas for it :) it did great offroad though

Nice. Always thought about black wheels on white.
Welcome to the forum.
 
No its my mom's car wrx believe it or not. I just dont have a digital so i hafta come borrow the parents camera. Her car has a CAI, Greddy Evo Catback, HKS BOV, HKS Type 1 Turbo Timer, Cobb Tuning Stage 1 chip(soon to be stage 2), 17 inch rims, JDM Hood scoop, blah blah blah. Good thing i got my dad into performance huh? :)
 
nice looking car.......i like the rims with the car....if i were you i would keep it that way looks good.....

as far as the exhaust goes.......that does not look like a magnaflow catback exhaust to me......you might wanna check that out......i have a magnaflow catback on my P5......and my exhaust tip is not that big nor does it have that big canister behind it......and all the magnaflow's i have seen dont look like that either.....

might be something else.....
 
Very nice, clean car. I love white. The rims look pretty good but I think you are right to get something smaller at some point. I just hate the ride on 18s.
Welcome to the forum.
 
Looks great, although I'm not a huge fan of the taillights. The rims look pretty good but I agree with everyone, 17s look nice and ride better :)
 
i dont like most white cars, but the protege pulls it off nicely. especially with a good drop and 18's!! good buy. :)
 
i paid 11k. The car had 42k miles when i bought it. The exhaust isn't the true magnaflow catback.. but it has been repiped to the cat and has a magnaflow muffler... so basically thats what it is.

I too hate the taillights.. but as for right now i have no other options (no money to spare) so i'll live with them for a while.

Its just nice to be in a lowered car again, i do miss the jeep already though :(
