What have you done to your P5 today?

[99ProtegeKV]

nope. at least not on my 5, because it has a slide cover on the inside. my p5 does not have a sunroof. Im sure they have a cover too so why would you need to tint it?

when u look at the roof from the top, it looks weird because u can see through it... same reason i tinted the windows.. cause it looks cleaner... im gettin it tinted and then hopefully figuring something out for the roof. wanna do black roof. saw it on the audi a3 or a5 wagons idk which one but with the silver and black roof it looks good

double post!

 

[TWISFM]

im leaving it.

 

[slideshow240]

lol.
awesome sauce!

 

[slideshow240]

i just saw that my front sway bar is fully disconnected from my coilovers.
******* endlinks lol
time to remove the front swaybar also then

 

[ucMP3]

Why would you remove your front swaybar? You're going to notice quickly how sloppy your front end gets...

Not to mention, it's easier to just replace the endlinks than to remove the swaybar...

 

[slideshow240]

well the damn thing is just sitting on the lca's
we'll see

 

[aMaff]

I'm not gonna lie, pulling the sway bar is a b**** and a half. Been there, done that, didn't even get a t-shirt. You have to lower the subframe, if not drop it completely. That said, on the front of these cars where inside wheel spin is an issue, having a stiff rear + swaybar, along with some stiffer front springs to compensate for the lack of sway bar could be a pretty awesome combination.

not having a front sway bar hasnt really been noticeable to me at all, one of my end links is seized so i cut it to get the strut out, havent replaced it yet, been driving with a cut endlink on one side lol

i can kinda tell around some corners and uneven roads, but the alignment on my car is so far off, i dont really expect it to drive good

 

[THE Phen]

Must be a coilover thing. When I broke an endlink while riding on the B-Specs, I thought the car was going to roll over on itself.

Simon doesn't have coilovers. He has Ground Control sleeves.

 

[THE Phen]

Gotcha... but... they're close enough for all intents and purposes.

 

[justanothermp5]

lol yea...sleeves
but the car does feel weird sometimes, i want to get those ford escape endlinks that work, there onl 10 dollars and supposed to be way beefier

but i read somewhere that they were 2" shorter, which wouldnt work for me, since my swaybar is already at an upward angle lol

 

[Signature Sound]

I dont think they are 2" shorter. Maybe .5" to an inch at the most. At least thats what I saw when I replaced my air struts and upgraded to the Escape endlinks. They are very beefy compared to the stock P5's. They also have grease zerts on them. I paid $18 each for them, but its worth every cent.
