I can't drop the P5.....

[TeamPlayers]

Cause my wife said that she will foget that it is lowered. (boom07)

But I can respect that. So are there any other ways of enhancing the handling of the P5 at stock ride hight? I put some better rubber on but I think I can get more out of her.

rubber, motor mounts (stop wheel hop) sway bars, and better struts

yeah wheel hop is driving my crazy, feels like I can never get on it with out the car bouncing all over the place

easy on the throttle.....it's bad for ur CV axles, and tranny...I'm gonna put up with it until I decide to make the big jump into STS...you have to wait til you're pointed straight to go WOT...

You can drop it off at my house. I need parts.

you don't need to use the stiffest ones btw, if u get them, ur whole car's just gonna shake sitting @ idle lol, not exactly the best for a Daily...just a thought

And y'd u wanna sell the P5?

If I dont need the stiffest, which ones do I need to get?

I thought about selling the P5 due to lack of power. My P5 sits next to an Evo everyday and everytime I drive it it just feels slow after driving my Evo. But I got plans for the P5. Dont know what exactly but plans none the less. Stay tuned for when I take her to the Nurburgring in March. (thumb)

Get some 16x7 wheels and throw some 205/55/16s on them (5% larger than stock). It will help with the wheel gap.

HA! No s*** lol. I'll trade ya! I think AWR makes 95, 80 and 70 (or 75, I can't remember) durometer (hardness) mounts, and a lot of ppl have just replaced just the front one w/ the softest one and say it eliminated wheel hop. I think I'm gonna go w/ the 80's when I do mine. Also, it's not a good idea to just replace the front mount, as it puts extra strain on the rear. It IS a b**** to do the rear, but it's definately do-able.

So, can I have the evo? You could get my P5, take the engine out, do a rear mount setup and have the first twin engine P5.....it's just a though...all that glory, and at the price of a measley Evo...

16x7??? whats stock?

16x6. if u use taller tires, ur accelleration will suffer...I've got 205-40-17's on it now for street use...they're a little shorter than stock, and don't ride too stiff.

 

[chuyler1]

The difference is marginal. The MSP has 5% larger overall diameter compared to the P5 and other than the turbo, nothing is done to compensate with regards to gear ratios (AFAIK).

I would be more than happy to sell you my Evo if I could get it back to the states legaly. The whole JDM RHD might make customs kinda mad

205 40 17s will make excess wheel gap if not lowered any.

I'm hoping to just install the 70 durometer front mount. The goal is to reduce the driveline lash without adding too much vibration.

How much life will only having the front take out of the rear? Also, if the rear mount wears due to the extra strain, can I just install the RR inserts?

yeah, but if I'm not mistaken, those are still only the side mounts. It'll help, but, you know. I'm planning on getting the 80's front and rear, and getting either the AWR or the RR inserts for the sides. that should keep the thing pretty damn planted lol

 

[the tortoise]

I thought that RR-Racing made inserts for the existing stock mounts.

 

[Chilledboost]

correct me if im wrong but is wheel hop the loud banging noise i get when i do a burnout

 

[aMaff]

yeah...that's what I said. Leave the side mounts stock, because they don't do a whole helluva lot, but put the RR inserts there to re-enforce them
