I'm just teasing, man. It's a lot of work anyway. An msp turbo setup is a cake swap compared to a KL swap.
But I don't think you're really out to make a crazy fast p5 anyway. Just because you have racecar parts doesn't mean it has to be a racecar. I've been noticing the show car trend is going way from huge stereos and rice to roll bars, racing seats, wild aero parts and more race car bits. Even if it is just for street driving or car shows it's way more cooler than big stereos, IMHO, of course.

I can understand why you wouldn't wanna go turbo. To do it legally and pass smog you'd need to buy a entire MSP engine and then go do a whole bunch of paper work so you can legally change your car into a MSP. You'd have to then pass smog for a 2003 MSP, not P5.

Ya for right now. I am just going get everything looking like a race car then I wil boost but not right now. And yes the how seen now is about looking like a race car but being slammed as hell
I was going to put the Mazda speed turbo and then get it bared
Ok guys this is my plan. I am going to get that rear trunk brace after that I am going to get racing harness and quick release steering wheel, then I am going to get a real short shifter. After that I am going to get all my braces and bars powdered coated. I will then get my car repaired have the hatch shave the reflector and get brand new front fenders and remount the fender flares better paint the car. After that I want to get the wildwood front and rear brake set up and do the abs delete. Then I will boost as I think I will also so a wire tuck. But that's my plan

Dumbest s*** ever. Everything your doing is for show, seriously a quick release steering wheel? The car never even sees the track.
Besides, don't you have an exhaust already? There goes passing smog.
I really don't understand your thought process other than ricer

Well said. Look I think this hella flush stuff is as pointless as the next guy, and that putting racecar parts on a car that doesn't see the track is a waste. But people like it so leave them be, they are having a good time and stimulating the economy. Plus, over half of the cars I see at the track and compete against have big wings, and splitters, and brakes and diffusers and A: They dont make enough power or have a car capable enough to take advantage of it and B: Are not good enough drivers to know the difference anyway. Let everyone do what they want as long as it isn't hurting anyone.

This is what is wrong with America, I'm sure if he threw a whale tail, 8" fart can, and huge body kit you guys would still say it was cool and to keep it up. Hell may as well throw some neons on there too
Your talking about safety in a daily driven stock protege? Are you ******* kidding me?
It's a public forum don't like opinions? Your in the wrong place
And really I'm a douche? In sorry that I have an opinion and hate people that ruin perfectly good cars, and that spend thousands of dollars to make a car look fast rather than actually be fast
Take a look at 70% of the cars featured in Modified Magazine, they all look like race/track cars but never see track duties. Does that make all those cars rice too?
The cover STi is a track prepped beast that will never see a track day.
But again, I'm a ricer and proud of it.

'nuff said....you should really reflect on what you typed, then apply that toward other peoples' opinions....doesn't just go for you.
Now - back on topic.

Rar - what wheels were you looking at? I like the new wheels honestly....they look pretty aggressive.
You're in Cali, so I'm guessing you're limited on the engine mods you can really get away with, right?

Well right now I am going to save up for the cage and finish the Interior but I would love to get real wheels I am tired of people Saying ur car looks nice but u need some real wheels. But for the engine mods I never really cared about going fast I just want to have a really clean stance but in the futurer I will boost my car. I am just not in a big hurry to do that right now.
