What have you done to your P5 today?


You need anything???

^. Yup I gotta make up some sort of restriction so that you can't sell your parts... Scammer status? lol

Jk sad to hear that.

Messed up...I am not looking forward to boxing some of the things up though...

Alex, booo... Seems like a lot of cats are going back to stock. But you've still got the Miata for the fun car and the Civic for the DD. What will become of the P5?

i heard he was selling it after its stock...not 100% sure though
i knew it was going to happen as soon as he bought that dam civic

Yep, it will be going up for sale...and it was a long thought out decision which is what took so long...I wanted to keep it, but financially right now it wasn't the best thing for me...I graduate college in 7 days and really just want to be out of debt and have some money for a fresh start...

its a dying platform because everybody wants race car performance out of an economy car,
my car isnt fast, its faster then some cars, and im cool with that, i just love the way it looks,
and that nobody knows what it is when i pull into meets lol guess i like being unique?

I never wanted racecar performance, I never cared to be fast...I loved the way the thing look, and mine was as unique as any...there were other factors in the decision though...and when the time comes to get another car, I may pick up another...just don't need it at the moment...this will be the 4th car I have gotten rid of in the last two and a half months...I just really don't need extra insurance payments and more cars than I really need right now...

^^^^I agree....I know the car will never be the fastest on the road but she handles great (now....lol) and looks sooooo damn sexay, even while sitting in the driveway.

HELL YEA!!!
 
More or less. There was a rumor that Marlon may be selling the wagon. Not sure if it's still true or not. If he was, I would try to snag that.

Wait, wut? Noooooooo....he can't sell it now, I'm not ready to buy. lol

got my escape wiper stalk in today. also found out why it cost $10 to ship out such a small part. tons of packing paper was in there (old stalk in pic to show size of box)

Once you get a good rain...you'll love the functionality vs the stock stalk.

Sad to hear Alex...your P5 was def. unique and you had your own thing going on which I respected so while it's sad to see you sale her off, I understand why you are.

Cool beans, I'll keep my eye out. Everything I see on ebay is $50+, maybe I can find one at a local junkyard...

I paid around $45 for mine thru ebay a couple of years ago. I had no luck at any of the local junkyards so just bit the bullet and spent the extra. Try craigslist too...might be someone parting out a wrecked one?


Drove to work in the cold....supposed to get some snow on Friday. :)
 
I got sidetracked. LOL. Been working on the website, organizing the warehouse etc. I will definitely check.. I have a *few* Tributes/MPV's here, they are rather picked thru.. :(

If I can find the "japanese" part # I may have a source for them new.. at a very good price :D

If you can find one, I'd be interested in picking one up.

edit:
I believe the OEM # GE6V66128
 
dude! i've always wanted that!!! cool thanks for the info guys!

No problem man...that's why we are here...to help each other. :D

(rofl) glad you like the avatar.. I'm very "grinchy" during the holidays :p

Gotcha and that would be cool if you could get them new!

lol at being grinchy....I guess you could call me more 'who-like' at this time of year. Tree was up Thanksgiving morning and I've been blasting the Christmas tunes. :)

Hey Chris...just so you know the MPV/Tribute/Escape stalks will fit the sedan, you'll just have to deal with the non-functional rear wiper controls. lol If you are feeling adventurous you can try sourcing the stalk from a Euro 626. ;)

eh, too much work. I'll deal with an extra control. I've been trying to talk myself into this mod for a few years. just never found a switch.

edit:
besides, it wouldn't be my car if it didn't have non-functional parts on it. ha ha ha
 
I just Rain-X the poo out of my windshield every couple months. I usually don't need my wipers even in heavy rain. i love that stuff...

I still haven't done much for my P5, other than buying more and more parts for the KL swap. I ordered the JDM 5speed tranny this week and probably headers this week. I'm still not used to calling them "headers" plural. heh-heh

C'mon Evan....you are spending how many thousands of dollars to swap in the KL...what's another $50 or so for some intermittent wipers. But I guess with the V6 in and running you can outrun the rain. :)

Nice, nice, and nice...cannot wait to see this finished...

I know all about why your selling lol mike told me about it at cars and coffee, but what all do you have?
i know u have a s*** ton of parts, my brother might need a shift linkage bolt if you have an extra one laying around, his snapped in half

I am sure I have one...which bolt it is, I have no clue, but I have two toolboxes full of every single bolt that has come off of any parts I have ever had...
 
Thanks...
