What have you done to your P5 today?

[xDJ DUBx]

yeah, look at the times, we posted at the same time. lol.

 

[Matt V]

Oh sorry, the whole car, to show off your wheels.

(I didn't see any in the past few pages)

It's nothing amazing, just MZ3 wheels. Here's pics before the retrofit:

That was a few months ago, I will get new pics of everything as soon as I get my damn rear tint removed. (eekfu)

 

[ScratchNSniff]

You still haven't gotten that off...I am actually wanting to tint mine again...

 

[Matt V]

I'll probably get my car tinted eventually, but I actually like the car without tint. Of course when summer comes I'll hate it though.

 

[Lewis7789]

That sucks...things like this are reasons I have not gone turbo...

+1

It seems more like a headache than pleasure. Regardless, I hope you get it up and running. Hopefully you learned some lessons too. And we all know PG isn't exactly uber-fast with shipping...

Oh- I ordered some new Brembo blank rear rotors and Hawk HP brake pads. $131 shipped. I'm happy.

 

[justanothermp5]

no they were supposed to ship it with the rest of my stuff but didnt, i didnt notice until i was putting the engine back together and by that time it was too late
but everything is straightened out now

and going turbo isnt really any more problems, i just did some stuff that was dumb

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Also taking on a motor rebuild AND turbo install at the same time can be a little stressful, making you slip up on dumb stuff.

 

[Matt V]

Yeah I'm not pleased with ProtegeGarage after trying to order an emblem from them. Corksport got my emblems to my house in the time it took Ken to get back to me about not having the emblem in stock.

 

[HKPRO5]

Lowered it about 1 1/4. Changed up the front endlinks.
Also finished fitting my side skirts. Now I just gotta time to paint them.

 

[Rockin03mp5]

nice. those side skirts actually flow with the dg lip!

 

[justanothermp5]

+1, looks sick

 

[JDMJNKY]

Ahh not my taste but they do flow with the dgm lip x2

 

[HKPRO5]

Yea thanks. It was a real pain because my drivers side fender is messed up where the where the skirt sits. I'm still saving up some money to get a new fender. Lol I had to use a c clamp and form it back to somewhat normal lol.

 

[shane02pro5]

New wheels on and dropped a bit more

 

[Matt V]

Took some pics for this months MOTM.

I can only keep one exterior pic, which should I use?

 

[Fireglow6]

Matt V are those Mazda5 wheels?

 

[Matt V]

Negative ghost rider, they are Mazda3 wheels.

 

[Fireglow6]

Ahh, ok. Looks good. No plans for a drop? I am not dropping mine . getting my new wheels from the powder coater this week. Might beputing my wife's Mazda5's on mine. I think they will be a good look. And my Team Dynamics on her 5.

 

[Matt V]

The car has MSP springs on there now but I'm getting Tein S-Tech's when funds become available.
