(shocked) (shocked)

one question though, if you said that the whole front is one peice(hood,bumper,lights etc.) then how the hell do you get to your engine when you need some work done to it. do you have to take the whole freakin thing off??????, thats must be a pain in the ass...... but other that that the paint/design is awesome

OK - I want to know here those rims came from!

"I like it, I like it a lot!"

where can I get them? Are they custom? painted?

Those are MOMO X1 rims. I know 2 places I can get them for about 270 a wheel for 17". The inserts are removable and paintable. If you are interested let me know.

rI,S ARE MOMO. And yeah you have to take the entire front end off of the car to get to the engine. that is why it is supposed to be for RACE ONLY applications. I Talked to somebody at NOPI about it and they said they watched one guy lift it off but it should really be done by two guys. I guess it just holds on with a bunch of hood pins and clips. I just think it is pretty slick that it is all carbon fiber and reduces that much weight off of the front of the car. The more I see that exhaust the more I like it.

You could easily make the front of the car lift like the Viper's hood. Maybe not easily, but any decent customizing shop could do it. That would be SWEET!

If you are interested let me know.

Ok - I am interested.........prices? more pics?

 

[redwagon02]

I'll pass on this one. looks unfinished to me. Any better pics of the roll cage.

That P5 looks cool,I like the exhaust idea and the front end.The rims look a little big for the car though.

 

[low_psi]

yeah, the exhaust is damn nice!

 

[WaatDaHell]

I like the idea of giving it a wider stance with the flares, but the whole look was destroyed with the overdone paint job. I guess they don't call it a "show" car for nothing.

 

[spoolinmp3]

I am embarrased that thing is a protege..................its hideous

That whole car is so 80's lookin in my opinion, like the usage of momo products that was like cool in the late eighties import scene and not to mention the horrid paint job. I must admit that the exhaust is very original and kinda trick

 

[APEXistud]

It's really interesting to hear all the different opinions on their P5. I think it's pretty dope, but I'd never do it to a street driven car. The kit is actually a knock of an STi WRX Wagon body kit that was at Tokyo Auto Salon.

 

[KYREDP5]

To me those wheel flares make it look like a Mini....

 

[JasonH]

I kind of liked it before, I mean, at least it's not the same old thing. Then I saw these pics. All I can say is "WOW".

 

[redwagon02]

I'll take one carbon fiber engine cover please!!!!!!!!!

Ok - I am interested.........prices? more pics?

For more pics you can go to www.momo.it and look at the wheels there. As far as prices for just the wheels:

17x7----247 each
17x8----268 each
18x7.5--328 each
18x8----412 each

Contrary to what I have been told, these wheels do fit the p5. The bolt pattern and the offset are ok. Pm me if you want to know the web address. Or just ask your local wheel distributor if they can get them at this low price. I have only found two places to get them this cheap.

More pictures of this car can be found at the FM website:

The nose can be flipped forward by undoing two dzus fasteners. There are photos of it flipped on our site. That gives you enough room to do pretty much anything short of removing the engine. Actually, even that might be possible I didn't see the nose fully removed.

That is an FM turbo on the car. The IC is as big as it needs to be, with an efficient design.

The kit on that P5 is the ballistics kit.

 

[Keith@FP]

The turbo kit is, without a doubt, a normal FM turbo with polished pipes. We're in a position to know - we supplied it
