The first four were taken at work the day after I picked her up and of course it rained....the last was just taken in the driveway with the wife's Vue.
 
ah, stock, those were the days. what do you have planned? may i suggest Eibach Prokit as your first mod and if you could only do one, this would be my pick. good luck!
 
Oh man, I tore up my P5 before I traded it in. Some times I wonder about if the new owner blew the motor yet, cause the week before I traded it in I was seeing how long I could make it bounce off the rev limiter.. I was only man enough to do to for 2 seconds or so.

That's why I made sure the previous owner of my P5 (they only had it for 10k miles) was an elderly couple... why they weren't driving an automatic I'll never know.
 
One local female owner for mine. Had 17K miles when I bought it. Now it has 25K and is still in showroom condition. Mainly attributing to the fact that it has been sitting in a garage most of its life I guess. Having a home office will do that to a car. Poor thing, I need to take out now.
 
hey nice lookin car man... also good to see someone else from the lehigh valley... what part of the valley do you live in? (im from nazareth)

I live in Easton (for the last 12 years anyway). Also good to hear from someone else in the Valley...was starting to feel lonely.
 
Thanks for the great responses!!!

To be honest I love the car in its stock form. If I did any mods it would probably be some rims or see if I can get the stock wheels repaired (if it is even worth the money, some bad curb rash on the front wheels). I have been looking at what everyone else has done and like what I see and it has given me ideas, but the biggest problem I have is my wallet wont be able to keep up if I become a mod junkie (thumb)

I have only had the car a short time but the response I have been getting is Great. I've had several people ask if it is an '06... :) ... model and I get looks everytime I run out at lunch by 'walkers' at my office. Kudos to the design team at Mazda!!

you should look into joining mtma (mazda team mid-atlantic), go to mtma.org and check it out, they have all kinds of local meets and fun-runs, its good times

plus if your looking for wheels, the stock msp wheels look pretty sweet on the p5....that and some lowering springs will def improve the looks of ur car for pretty cheap
 
Ahh the stock days. lol j/k...what's funny is, the first pics I took of my p5 were in the rain. They're very similar to your's. :)

looking good.....you don't see many red P5's!

Funny you say that...they must all be here in PA! I have seen 4 red ones since I brought mine home. 2 in Jersey (where I work) and 2 in town...guess it is possible the one in town is the same.

I will look into mtma...also the msp wheels. Going to have to browse pic area for fellow members with them on. Not really sure if I want to lower it though, the roads up here (as you know) suck. If it isn't a pothole made my nature it is unfinished construction to fix said pothole(s). :)

(thumb) Love what you have done to your car! The black lighting on red looks great. Did you paint your bumper signals or use Celica signals like I have seen others do? Wish it were as simple as ordering some online...but I guess that is the joy of modding.

I may be selling my wheels if I sell my car to someone who doesn't want them. I have a potential buyer who doesn't want the wheels/springs. ;)

I had black rims on my p5 a while back and it looked good. I think I prefer silver, though. The MP3 and MSP wheels look awesome on red!
