What have you done to your P5 today?

[newsboy86]

btw nice lights newsboy

Thanks man! One of my favorite upgrades for sure! MattV put them together for me. The stock P5 lights have awesome ouput, but HID retros are definitely FTW!

[TWISFM]

took some pictures of updated setup... need to find my wire for the camera tho.

 

[ZoomZoom03]

washed the p5 finally, much needed though its depressing to see how certain areas of the car have different shades of yellow...in the end it is nice to have a clean car though. also no more rubbing from exhaust in the midpipe or rear area!! (rockon)

Tru, I think MSP RH's are a touch lighter tho. Need to get some wheels that weigh ~15lbs ea. As opposed to ~23lbs ea.

This is why I've never upgraded to MSP, MP3, Mz3 or RX8 wheels. They all look great on the P5, but they're 7ish pounds heavier each wheel...all that unsprung weight would erase all the power gains I've worked out of this car! For me it's FDs or something light and cheap from aftermarket...or stockers!

Ya, I need to buy new wheels next winter/spring...

 

[Matt V]

The FD wheels still end up being heavier because of the bigger tire size.

FD's are at least 5lbs lighter (I think more like 7...) than the MP3 & MSP RH's. And the bigger tires only weigh 3 lbs more, max. They probably only weigh 1 lb more than the 225/45/17's I run; at most...

Now just do the math.

 

[Matt V]

Mine weigh 38 lbs with tires, how much do the factory wheels weigh with tires?

Damn, that's a full 15 lbs heavier than my race wheels & tires. Per corner (boom07)


EDIT: You don't even want to know what the full sized steely spare on my Pathfinder weighs. And neither do I. All I know is I'm glad for that chain pulley to drop and raise it hahaha

My MS6 rims with tires weigh 48 lbs.........

Spent most of my day taking off the turbo had a bad seal.Also took the exhaust housing off and put that on my backup turbo everything is in tip top shape now..Buying used turbo's FTL...

So did that guide help you out? It wasnt hard right?



Finished everything that I wanted to today. Still gotta vacuum.
