Just picked up a P5 today, What to do first?

[rpine422]

Gotta love when you ask questions then people give you s*** for asking them... thanks haha

But I appreciate the real help. Thanks guys

 

[mx-p5]

Not giving you any crap. It's just that all your questions have been asked dozens of times and answered dozens of times. In just the last 3 pages of new posts in the pro5 section, every question you have asked is answered!

I have no hate to the newbs, i was one myself. I did read and read and read before i started posting though. Found answers to questions I hadn't even asked yet!

There is A LOT of good information on the site. Take a few minutes to search around and make yourself familiar with the site!

And welcome!

You own two P5s and you're still a newb...

 

[mx-p5]

True!! lol!!

I do still ask stupid questions if I can't find answers AFTER i search though.

 

[rpine422]

Thats true and i will read alot and research alot but I just figured I would get some quick answers this way and it's tough to do alot of research while im at work but thanks for all the help Pro5x2

 

[mx-p5]

No prob. I really don't mean to bash in any way!

I know you've still got lots of questions too! lol

Yes yes...post pics!

I highly recommend Tein S-techs for a nice look and a nice ride. $150 shipped Ebay.
I also have an auto (the tiptronic)...so I decided to paint my interior pieces and I added a shift boot so the car does not look like an auto. $10 for paint. $8 for shift boot.
Black out the head lights. $10 for paint...if you have some left over, you can paint your stock wheels.
17" rims. $250 + shipping on Ebay.
M3 style mirrors. $50 Ebay
TSudo Catback Exhaust. $175
Short ram intake. $25
Low profile tires. $60x4 = 240
250
20
8
50
175

240

768

This was just a rough estimate...you find a lot of good deals everywhere.
Best of luck!!

warning for ya.
ive had ppl who have bought intakes on ebay and they had trouble fitting, and the tsudo catback being either too long and had to cut it or it being to short and had to add more piping.
just becareful with what u buy on ebay

 

[mx-p5]

Ebay intakes are more or less "Universal" and not made specifically for one car, so, yeah, fitment is an issue. Keep your eyes peeled in the FS section.

Got myself an AEM Cold air intake with K&N filter for $60.
Also snagged my Magnaflow catback for $180.

Just a suggestion

Welcome.....prototype5 covered it very well and I would also add to paint the headlights. There is a thread in the 'how-to' section and don't be intimidated by it...it is actually very easy.

 

[mx-p5]

Whatever you do, don't put Mazda Tribute wheels on the car!!!

 

[InFlames]

I lol'd

So you are going there Tylor....what's up with that? At least they are lighter than your MSP wheels.

Ass To Me

Alright, ya got me there. I wish the MSP were lighter! Heavy rollers sucks the gas milage and power. Oh well, least they look better


Oh yeah, i went there! And you're bringing the ATM over here too? (godown)

I do prefer the looks of the MSP wheels but at the time I was looking for replacement tires the Tribute wheels were a damn good deal. Besides it is something different and if things go as planned, will be changing soon.

As for the atm, thought you could use a chuckle. Is that glue cured yet?

 

[TreFlip999]

OMG...this thread is noob heaven...

Hhahahaha...*memories*

 

[mx-p5]

Alright, it's getting quite insipid in here
