Hey guys, i've been lurking around the forums for a while now learning more and more about this car, and i'm glad to say i finally got my own P5. Sunlight Silver, overall very good condition, clean title, bought it for $10500 CND and just around 90000kms (56000mi). I do plan to start modding but not right away. I'm too poor to turbo it, but i gotta say it's quite peppy. When i drive to work i always drive down this road with a bunch of curves and i gotta admit, i love the handling on these cars, i'll never regret buying it. I'll post pics later, i'm at work right now..
So i finally got my P5

welcome. Should have got yellow 
haha not gonna lie, yellow is pretty sexy.
Work is definately getting in the way for me to wash the car, so I will for sure post pictures when i get around to cleaning it. I took the long way home from work yesterday through a backroad with a few turns here and there and i gotta say I am very very impressed. HELP ME MOD! when i have money haha. I feel pretty lucky to have this for my first car. I'm 18 btw. and a lot of my highschool buddies went off and bought mostly integras and 240's...but I'm sure i made the right decision going a different direction and purchasing one of these cars.

I have a yellow P5 and this is my first real car as well, and I'm also 18. Car was bought new in our family for my Mom in 02, but knowing the woman driver in most cases, the car suffered some, haha. Least to say I have plans for it as it is a great car and very uncommon on the road in my area, which makes it even better. Looks great and handles even better. P5 ftw (cheers)
Ya, you made the right decision. (yes)
As for the handling, lower your car and you'll be even more impressed. Trust me.
Oh and definately post some pics!

Cool score, doesn't look like anything has been hacked up or changed. Nice fresh clean canvas to work with. Good color choice, welcome to the forums. It's all inside here, anything & everything has been done here. If it comes to mind just type it in search & you'll find how-tos & all kinda good stuff. FS section is your friend, lots of goodies to be had. Have fun.

Welcome. Car looks really good. What are you looking to mod first?
Thanks guys. Yup i have been searching around and i figured i might want to get a short shifter. Seems that the stock shifter is too long. I have to reach in to get to 2nd and then i have to reach far to get to 5th. I've heard good things about the B&M short shifter with the kartboy bushings, and i don't know if this will all work together, but i want to get it with the msp (03.5) shift knob and still use the stock boot. Will that work together?
