What have you done to your P5 today?

[Reitrof]

My Tokico install guidlines recomended cutting the bumpstops 1/3 - 1/2 (but not more than 1/2). I didn't cut them ... and decided something was wrong after living with this setup (Tokico HP's and Espelirs) for a few weeks. For the record, I didn't actually "modify" any of the bumpstops (shady). More to come ...

I bought some MP3 bumpstops when I did mine. Shorter than stock P5 bumpstops.

Nice! (thumb) There's a set screw on the side of your cap that will let you rotate and line up the Mazdaspeed logo ...

Well, I tore down and rebuilt the struts (again). The definitive bumpstop reference is coming tomorrow ...

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Sarcastro is one of the students of Tick's superhero class, and he holds the distinction of being the only one to flunk. He fights crime with the razor sharp sting of sarcasm, but he needs to improve his aim as he usually uses sarcasm on the other superheroes as well. Some of his lines are absolutely hilarious, and it's too bad he doesn't show up until the last episode of the series; they could have really used him. [/FONT]​

DUDE! Who in RI is selling a CF hood?!? And what do you mean another? You wanna sell one while you're down here???

Terbow and now it's mine

You wouldn't have wanted my old CF hood, but it's already sold anyway. It was the APC hood. It's now doing duty on a crazy LX/MP3/MSP racecar protege that needed some more weight reduction.

what is the weirdest combo of items you've ever had in your Protege5 trunk (maybe I should start a new thread)?

Right now:
- 1 Fiber Images CF Evo-style hood (painted Blazing Yellow)
- A massive patio umbrella from Ikea
- A full-size spare (17x7 Exel Speed w/ 215/40/17 Ecsta MX)
- my subwoofer
- suitcases from my trip to NH
- 2 laptops
- a cast iron umbrella stand
- oh yeah my mountain bike
- a couple backpacks of random stuff.

now the trick will be to see if I can fit all that plus a very large treadmill, a 6x9 foot area rug, and a 27" CRT television ... in the truck of course, all that in the protege5 would just be ridiculous

ok here are the pics.. oh and I forgot my 180 piece craftsman mechanics tool set and a bug zapper

edit: just to clarify I'm not a packrat or anything.. ask anyone who knows me, my car is usually totally empty. I was just on my way back from a weeklong trip up to the summer condo in NH and stopped by to pick up the CF hood on the way back to my parent's house.

Nice! It is funny you mention this right now. I 'test fit' our luggage in the trunk today and was pleasantly surprised....it all fit. Looks like the P5 gets to trek to Myrtle Beach this year. Fit 2 large, 2 small and a duffle bag in without the cargo cover and the seat up....gotta save room for the kids.

Nice p/u on the hood too. Was contemplating buying it on Friday due to the hail damage from earlier this week. Still haven't called my insurance agent, guess I better get off my butt. lol

You washed the car? Thats my best guess looking at how clean the front wheels are.

nope. strike one. I wish my car were clean. It's actually quite dirty. It just rained so thats why it looks kinda shiney.

 

[asifmbadar]

New wheels?

I am going to say you cleaned her up, but gosh I do remember you mentioning being VERY HAPPY about something (ok end sarcasm)

Wheels look good (what happened to the center caps?)

 

[asifmbadar]

Those are supposed to be light as hell no?
