What have you done to your P5 today?

Wish I would of known sooner...if you paid shipping through Greyhound I would of traded...the one I picked up was near mint...guy said it has been garaged for 7 years from when he bought his 02 new...

James, glad to see you got them things home...did my ziptie method work I assume...

Also, picked up a nice ass bike rack for when my crossrails come in...just in time to bring my bike with me to EPIC...also may not rust that hood quite yet...thinking about doing it FULL polish...

yeah alex....zip tie pack job work amazingly well. sorry bout when you called i apparently forgot to save your number and you caught me off guard at work lol. like i said hope to have the cross bars out tuesday.
 
Ordered an MP3 ECU flash from Ken. After evaluating the costs of turbo'ing the P5, it's just not worth it to me so I'm trying to get small, cheap upgrades that will make the car more fun.
 
Ahh I was going to tell you to go to Ziliva.net. (or any other turbo model forum) I got a BNIB wideband for $100 Blitz TT for $60 (the good one with the boost control) AEM Tru Boost gauge $35.

Hella cheap.

Im trying to do the whole set up for less than $1200.
 
I found all the OEM components for $950, but the real costs came from me wanting to do a new timing belt/water pump, clutch, and oil pump setup.

PM Focus on here, he has everything minus the intercooler for $950 shipped. I was going to go with his parts, eBay FMIC, Forge BOV and Exedy clutch for rift around $1750. I was going to use the MSP ECU and keep it at stock boost so no tuning would be required.
 
do it Matt V thats does sound like a decent price.... :) I just ordered a mx-6 rear strut bar for my p5 and also just bought HkPRO5's Air Diversion Plate made my Apex'I
 
Oh I'm doing the WHOLE ser up for less than $1200. FMIC, and aftermarket stuff. I don't see putting it in this year so I have time to bargain hunt lol I'm lowballing the s*** out of everyone. lol and they are giving it up. lol

took off the side moldings. looks so much cleaner now.

and has anyone seen 16" rsx wheels on a p5? i just want to know if they look better than 02 p5 wheels.
 
While the Acura wheels are the same bolt pattern, the hub size is smaller so unless you bore that out they won't fit.
 
idk why people want to stick with OEM stuff, yea its cheap but its going to fail alot faster then the good, more expensive aftermarket stuff

i know you made up your mind on no going turbo, but your missing out, thats all im saying
my total for my turbo build was around 6-7k, its alot but it has made the car so much more fun to drive, i love getting in my car and just hearing the turbo spool, makes my day

hmmm, seems i got some bad info, i read somewhere it was 70.1mm, and someone in the wheel thread said they tried some on his car and he didn't say anything about them not fitting. but now i'm reading that they are 64.1mm.

This post makes me very excited to put in the new painted, ported and polished intake mani into the car probably this friday. Got the wideband to make sure I don't lean out much from it as well :D.

Good luck man. Should be a fun time.

Painted the rear valance, painted calipers black (take that brake dust!) and vacuumed.........FINALLY!

I have to say I like every mod you've done to your car. Very clean and well done sir (2thumbs)
