My P5 is done.

[Mike R]

No more mods. In fact, some of the suspension might be sold off. Looks like I'm buying another 91 Grand Marquis, and that will be my weekend fun car.

So my mods in less than two years are:
HKS Hiper muffler
'02 Roof Rack
AWR motor mounts
Injen Intake
MP3 Springs
Rota Subzero 17x7.5"
AWR 21.5mm rear swaybar
AWR Front Adj. endlinks
B&M Shifter
MSP Sparco shifter knob and pedals
OBX header
Ported intake w/ VTCS removed (in transit right now)



The Marquis will recieve much more. It will be getting a built 302, complete suspension and brake upgrade from a newer car, and eventually a turbocharger. It already has a High Output 5.0 Conversion and I have a built trans and rear axle to drop in it.

Of the Marq? It's just a bone stock (bodywise) silver Marq. Nothing special.

Mike you forgot to list your custom woofer setup!! Anyway, I like the way your car is now, you don't have to do anything else to it.. just keep it!! Don't leave us

Don't forget the switches and 13" daytons.

Bummer Mike, but I can't say I'm surprised. I know you'll have a blast modding your new "boat".

 

[Mike R]

T
Nothing special. Laser blue.

Frank, I can't afford to sell the 5. It's just going to be the commuter car.(as it always has, just not gonna mod it anymore) I might still autocross it occasionally, since I spent the $$ on the suspension. I'll probably sell the Rotas too, I'm running a set of stock wheels with Azenis for the summer-which were my autocross wheels/tires. Much nicer ride for the commute.

The plan is: dump all my money into the Marq, take it to the SSHS5 in November. No more mods to the P5.

I'm not leaving the protege community.

"In fact, some of the suspension might be sold off"

If you decide to sell the AWR 21.5mm rear swaybar and the AWR Front Adj. endlinks, you have a buyer.

I'd be interested in the wheels if you were looking to sell'em. From one 2003.5 laser blue p5 to another LOL

 

[Mike R]

OK, I didn't get that Marquis. I got THIS! 8 passenger, one owner, rust free. Really clean car for the age. $1100 bucks.

In the one pic you can see my daily beater in the grass behind the real wagon.

 

[Lord_Zath]

haha what happened to the wheels you had in the night shot above? I see you went back to stock wheels now...

 

[mountjonas]

how much are you going to unload the wheels for if you're still going to...unload them.

that back seat is so pimp.

 

[Mike R]

Well, they are now my "winter" wheels. I'd consider trading them for a set of nice stockers with new tires. Or stockers and some cash.

I just put new tires on the rotas and they have like 4K and one autocross on them. Though the rotas have the same bolt pattern as the Squire.....LOL

 

[fkmp5]

OMG Mike that is a boat!!

You should call it the Squire Lounge .. lovin' the back seat.. hahaha.

 

[mountjonas]

well, my stockers are painted graphite, and i've probably got a goor 10-15k miles left on the neo-gens, so you probably aren't interested in those.

 

[Mike R]

Yeah, I'd want some newer tires-or cash

Frank, I'm thinking about getting the tag "trukstr"

 

[Lord_Zath]

mike where do you live? Condition of the wheels?

 

[P5errington]

I got some stock rims and new kuhmo tires down here in fredericksburg. Been looking for some new rims so if you are serious let me know. I work in chantilly and my schedule is flexible.

That's awesomely fugly. You might as well do no mods to the interior or exterior. Unless you put 8 Clark Griswold headlights on the front.

Make the mf'er a drag beast! Good luck.
