What have you done to your P5 today?

[mx-p5]

Since new headlights should be going in next week, i'm gonna be removing stockers.

I'll be polishing lenses so they're clear again, but, i'm curious if anyone is interested in them if i were to paint em like the R34 skyline

I mean, i know i can sell em stock, but, curious if anyone prefers em painted like ^^^

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Price on them...

 

[mx-p5]

Not selling at the moment, just curious if anyone would be interested in them painted with that silver line

if not, i won't bother


but, i was thinking $250 shipped per set

IMO it looks like it'd be more work than it's worth.

picked up a couple parts I ordered....

a new plastic cap/cover for the Cowl bolts (where the s*** do these things run off to? lol)

and 2 new U-nuts to mount the rear license plate for the stupid license plate holder ....I hate that they put that on this car, totally kills the looks....

 

[mx-p5]

i hate the rear tag holder too....

Gauge Rings

Well after taking a handful of tylenol#3 tablets to kill the pain in my knee I went and fitted the gauge rings. I don't why Mazda didn't do this to begin with. They look so much better.

Pat.

 

[mx-p5]

yeah, wait till you put it back in the car!

Such a small minor detail but does wonders for the car!!


Oh, and i just registered on the local car club that has local auto-x events!! I JUST missed the West Palm event, next is in Hileagha

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

maye sure you check/top off your oil before running an event....

 

[mx-p5]

oil starvation FTL!!!!

Thanks for the tip

We'll be auto-xing her car since she can't drive stick

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

ooof go easy on the auto lol

 

[mx-p5]

yeah.....i figure after her first event, she'll be hooked

then, if my plans go well, she'll be game for an MX-5.....

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

[mx-p5]

That is a sin!

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

Filled her up with premium again. Stupid gas station was $0.25 more expensive in the afternoon than it was in the morning. That equates to $3 extra over all. I only managed 25 mpg this time around too - not so good and I haven't really changed anything. Also added 1.75 mpg of oil... that was fun.

 

[dxaveP5]

That to me sounds about average... i tend to get 24-27mpg in town. What do you mean by "added 1.75 mpg of oil"?

Edit: Before any of you mention the fact that I have a MSP I get pretty much the same mileage for both my old p5 and the MSP.

With the winter gas blend, I usually average around 27 mpg, according to my morning fill up this morning. In the summer, it's usually around 31.
