The Official Yellow P5 Thread

[mx-p5]

Lowering will help ALOT!! And, yes, a meetier tire will def. help!! What are tires you running right now?

And, she's def. going to be getting a pro5. Just depends on what color as to which is available. She doesn't want a boring color, so, no white, silver, or black, or midnight blue.

She wants yellow, laser blue, or red in that order. There are afew around us. She's just gotta get her $$$ lined up and sell the subie

I'll ahve pics and she'll probably join up once she gets it

Tell her to join he familia...I gotta gripe...For some reaon and ive brought it up befoe but for ome reason I think my wheels look too small on my car and urks me...They are 17s and I dont really want to go any bigger, Im going to lower but im thinking fatter tired might help too, any ideas, pics of mine are the first post, lemme know...and woody your car looks sick man

Your wheels look good. I don't think they look small. I have 18's but I'm getting tired of the super low profiles tires I have on there (215/35/ZR-18). When it's time for some new ones, I'm going with a thicker profile, since they exaggerate the gap (I haven't lowered & won't for a while...LOL!). Your 17's look good.

thanks a lot man, and by the way i'm on 17s with 215/40/17. With the eibachs there is no wheel gap and no rubbing at all even with a full car (plus i'm on stock struts which i'm sure need to be replaced at 90k+ on them)

How many times did you spray them...also clearcoat...I just got done using the VHT on my orange and clear sidemarkers and did my fogs...I used 7 coats, but those look much darker...Thanks...

I did 3-4 coats of tint spray and one coat of clearcoat

16 stock wheels painted

Snows came off Thursday afternoon... and the stock wheels ( now painted a sort of BMW gun metal ) are back on... they look bigger than 16" to me ( or maybe that was because I was getting used to looking at the 15" steel snow package )... maybe will keep me from looking for new 17" wheels / tires for a while.
Had her tuned up the week before, too ( roughly 50K miles ) and first tank yielded a solid 33 mpg... nothing wrong with that...

^^ Lookin good...Needs a drop now!

 

[stx195]

needs a drop

I know... but I think for the miles I do a year ( 30,000+ - this is a work car ) it may not be in my best interest... My STi ( my real fun car ) is running on Eibach's ( roughly 1.5" drop ) - which I love - but for the P5 I think I'd only consider something if it were to be only the slightest of drops...

Thanks. It's modded just enough for STU - and that's it... Now the driver just needs some mods

I, too, have had a thing for gold on white... longer than you'd guess...
1977 Mercury ( actually, Ford of Germany ) Capri ( the last year imported )... gold on black and gold on white... fun V-6 cars, but with a variable venturi carb... teh suck!
