What have you done to your P5 today?

let me get better amps and then we can talk lol till then yours would deffiantly own my system.. i had 2 sony 1600 watts bridged to 2 4 ohm subs and wiht all the windows up in a garge it was rattling s*** off walls in the house which was a good 20 feet away maybe.. poor car had more rattles and then the battery decided it didnt like 3200 watts
 
Hahaha, dude be realistic, two 1600 watt Sony amps realistically equals maybe 600 watts.

Your's probably is a lot louder honestly. If I had a ported box and re-tuned everything I could get mine pretty loud, but I'm much more into SQ.
 
eh i figured they where putting at least half of 1600 bridged.. my box has lil air space for the subs im running. and if i had some say ma amps i would be loud.. but if i keep the p5 i might just get a 12" L7 wiht a 1200 Alpine Amp

It' not quite perfect yet, since I touched a few spots on the paint while I was sanding the letters off, so it needs a coat of wax and polish, but here are the pics as promised. I need to give the whole engine bay a good cleaning now.

Second pictures is just a cool shot I took of the car sitting in the garage.

That looks good. I need to paint or powder coat the valve cover from my original motor. My spare (current) motor has this valve cover that Tonkabui bought on ebay. It has Mazda "M"blems painted all over it. Not my style but I bought it so that I would have one while I painted my original.

Hahaha, you are all about the polished valve covers. Take a picture from the front of the bay, can't really see it from that angle. Where'd all your Mazda and other lettering go?

The Motor is not a Mazda, They s*** The Bed on the Rod selection so I figured that they didn't need the name on the top of the engine. It's a Limited Edition BRIAN Motor now..

P.S. These pictures are from when the car still had Power Steering and Faggy Blue Vac Lines.. Now that the P.S. is gone, I'm thinking about putting the battery up front again...

where would you put the battery? the engine bay looks pretty full?

On The Passenger side where the power steering bottle is..

Don't forget, all that s*** is gone now.

A/C and P/S so there is nothing there at all.. No Belts, no hoses...Look at that area on this picture..

Found 2 lug nuts missing #@)%)@#&)$*&@ Raffield Tire MASTERS! HA! They totally got an earfull...how hard is it to tighten a lug nut w/ an impact wrench!??
 
The protege is still calleded the 323 in Europe, and the P5 is the 323F IIRC.

I washed the heck out of her today, also pained a few pieces in the engine bay. The valve cover kicked off an unintentional project to paint every extra piece of misc stuff that can be painted.
 
I killed my car's OEM battery because I was detailing it in my garage and listening to music at a low volume level and when the album finished, it stopped playing and when I came back upstairs I forgot to turn the car off ACC mode :(

Now I'm stuck at my apartment until one of my roommates gets back so that I can get an Optima red top.

Does anyone know of a solution to plug the car in while it's in my garage? Are there battery chargers that are safe to leave on for extended periods of time? There's 4 plug outlets in my garage bay so when I'm detailing or installing something I could plug it in.. either that or I could just get one of those little ipod dock speaker setups but it would get so beat up in there.

Does anyone know if Wal-mart carries these? There's a BJs near here but it closes at 10 and Wal-Mart (which I despise and don't want to give any business) is 24 hours. One of my roommates got back but he has a lab to work that is due at midnight so I don't know when I'll get to go.
