What have you done to your P5 today?

[azmp5]

did you rewire the tails to have the reverse lights where the turn signals are?

whats the trick to getting the rear motor mount out... ive taken the intake mani off...but those two bolts towards the fire wall...man.. those fuckers are in there tight!!!

Did you look at the how-to...? I posted the trick for me to get those nuts off the firewall for the wiring harness bracket.

^^^ The trick is to give up and buy an insert. haha! I used an impact wrench and even 550lbs of torque couldn't budge one loose. But I'm in Ohio with rust so maybe you'll have better luck. Try letting them soak in PB Blaster over night and give them a twist in the morning. Good luck, mate!

try a really long breaker bar... worked just fine on my last two pros with the factory lock tight crap on it.

Yea that's the way to do it. Or take the sub frame off hahaha.

That's hat I had to do =(

Wow... might as well go one step further and just remove the engine and trans...jk but thats still going to an extreme is you ask me and so it removing the IM to do it as well.

 

[HKPRO5]

They are the same as stock. I figured I only drive in reverse 2% of the time, so the red reverse lights wouldn't be a big dea. lol

impact wrench turned all the way up with the compressor and let it pound....i smushed a finger and almost took off the side of it with my fingernail before i busted out my airtools....also cut off those studs for the hose hanger just above it

What duro SU rear MM do you have?

 

[justanothermp5]

changed oil, re welded IC pipes to fix leaks, changed TB gasket, and found out i have a decent sized boost leak by my BOV somehow...annndddd
I drove it, and took a right turn off the main road and all of a sudden there are these lights in my rear view, some honda was tailgating me
apparently he thought my car was slow lol well lets just say after 3rd gear he wasnt too close to me anymore

man i love my car now, it builds boost so smooth up to 5psi and then at 4k it just freaking haaauullssss up to 13-ish psi, i need to get some money for more mods

 

[TWISFM]

Get the turn overlays too, I always wanted to put them on my p5. Red turns are legal in the rear. Car looks ****** amazing btw, laser blue ftw.

 

[JDMJNKY]

Installed my homemade oil catch can about two days ago and this is what I have.



And to think this crap goes right back into your engine.

 

[ScratchNSniff]

i actually like it scratch... now ship them to me. the purple would look better on black anyways.

and is your car sharting yellow in your sig?


then why do you still have dreams about your protege?

and you changed your name here too huh.

Thanks man...not for sale...lol...and yea...the yellow is blowing off...

Installed MSP axleback the other day. Thanks MSP2K3 for the hookup!

Can't wait to see it at EECMM...

My buddy's first car was a silver 2000 1.8 5speed with a borla catback, eibach springs and a rollbar. It was a blast, a damn go cart but it was TINY (i'm 6'3" 175), my knees were in my face and the styling is so feminine.
As far as performance, you can't compare proteges and miatas, they are very different cars with very different purposes. I drive a Mustang Bullitt as well that i take to the road coarse and I have no trouble keeping up with spec miatas. Considering those cars are modded to hell and the B has stock suspension, that's quite a feat, not to mention the weight disadvantage.

I don't hate Miatas, but we don't go on the miata board and talk s*** all day.

The to big thing I think is an excuse...I am 6'2" and 300lbs and fit very comfortable...

I have spent my third day in a row installing my car audio system. I have a build thread going. I hope to finally be completed tomorrow

Nice...

Just curious, as on their website it gives you four different options for bushings...soft/street/aggressive/race. I assume you got "street" then?
