What have you done to your P5 today?

switched out the plugs in the tails to put signals on the bottom. just had to shave off two of the tabs on each plug so they would fit in each hole. still water tight!

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.

I actually ordered overlays for the turns too, but they didn't send them. I was thinking of doing them in a light smoke tint to match the fogs. I had them all red a one point (candy red spray paint) but, I noticed from far away the tails just looked like one big red blob. Lol, JDM tails would be the preferred choice. haha

I can't wait for EECMM, I'm hoping to get a couple more things done by then. I also can't wait to meet some of the other members.

BTW......thanks for the compliments
 
I just modded my tail lights too. kinda hacked em up but the bulbs are secure. Now to order the red overlays. maybe he can make a light pink overlays for the reverse. kinda like lexus and toyota.

* besides bluebatmobile, who sells the overlays for turn signals?
 
Got my Mazdaspeed oil cap (I'm such a loser) and replacement roof rail caps (neighbor or punk kid stealing them)...Still have the urethane exhaust hangers sitting in the box dammit.
 
got my front rotors machined now i have no pulsing for the first time since i've owned the car! (not very long) and got 2 of the 3 the back emblems painted and on the car. need to do some rust fixing before the third goes on.
 
I highly recommend the full MSP brake setup . . . It feels much better now that I have them. I still need to save for more suspension stuff.
 
^niiicccceeee
if you need any help or input on what parts to use ill be glad to help you (thumb)

it makes the car ALOT more fun to drive, you just have to make sure you take your time and do it right the first time lol trust me, ive had to take my turbo off 4 times so far for stupid reasons
 
Drove 1318.5 miles this past weekend now time to find out what the overall MPG was for something like that... the last tank lasted 355.8 miles and i only filled up 11.4 gallons so just for that amount (which is what i was getting within 10 or so miles over the 6 total fillups this weekend) im looking at 1318.5/11.4 - 115.66 gallons used in gas give or take and 31.21 mpg on the final tank

not only that, but the car was great driving from charlotte and the race with no issues other than my cel popping up for no reason (still get the bank 1 lean issue, but it goes away after 3 key turn cycles of turning the car on then off)

If you don't fill the tank to full (the only sure point of reference available) then you won't get accurate gas mileage calculations this way. Not sure by how you stated it, if you filled it to full or not.

Drove mine around a round-about 4 times with my dad as a passenger to show off the handling capabilities of my wagon. Then a fella in a MiniCooper followed us around a few times too. It was fun!

And I set off a few car alarms in the parking garage in downtown Cleveland. Header + corksport headerback catless exhaust = LOUD
