What have you done to your P5 today?

[CheeseHelmet]

^ good luck, dont burn too much oil on the way there!

My FS-DE doesn't burn any oil (shrug)

I'm most concerned about all the noises it makes, but that's what my CAA membership is for, right?

 

[MP5 Kyle]

thats exactly what its for!

but in all seriousness, have a fun trip to T.O

 

[Flav]

I got you beat by 2 hours worth of driving cheese!
London to Quebec City! (never ever ever ever ******* driving that far again...)

My P5 is resting, tomorrow it has to make it 600KM to Toronto. Wish me luck :S

Good luck, Cheese. My FS-DE didn't burn any oil and it's still going strong in my friends P5 it's in now. It's got 134k miles.

I might be buying a Millenia this weekend to keep the P5 company. It's needs a new motor, but i think I can handle that. heh-heh

So my wheel bearing went out on pass side and i pulled both hubs to replace both bearings but the drivers side axle came out....so question do i need to replace any seals or can i just pop it back in?

 

[bgibb68]

Also the boot on old control arm is ripped to s***....what are my options? Do i need to replace?

 

[YELLOWMAZDAPR5]

Before you changed the wheel bearings, what kind of noise or issues were you having to make you change them?

 

[bgibb68]

Just jack up the front of your car and get the wheels off the ground...grab at top and bottom...if there is any movemnet replace

You can buy new boots from Mazda. Pack it with new grease and push the new boot on

In other news, my P5 made it to Toronto! On the way the A/C slowly died to the point where it was blowing hot air, and even on fan speed 4 there wasn't much air coming out of the vents. I turned off the A/C and a few minutes later my car starts taking a piss on my passenger through the foot vent. After a few minutes of this I turned the A/C back on and it was blowing hard and very cold.

I'm guessing a blocked drain caused ice build-up on the in-cabin A/C rad, I'll have a look at that tomorrow.

I hope those are some of the strongest magnets ever...

 

[churrosurf]

Got my mazda 6 calipers and power slot rotors mounted this morning..

They are. 23-40 lbs of pull force. People have tracked with this setup.

 

[Sleezer1533]

So what, you put a metal plate or something behind the bumper for the magnets to attract to?

 

[J_Naoto]

that's a good idea..

 

[Alamo1]

Turned up the boost today. Now I think I'm getting fuel cut or my exhaust is restricting the turbo from making proper air. It acts sluggish, even hesitates, once it passes about 5-6 psi of boost. It still does boost about 8 psi on the highway but settles back down to about 6.5psi.

I'm running GT2560R - SR20 turbo, turbolife FMIC, stock MSP ECU. I do not have a wideband so I have no way to tell if it is going lean at the top end of my boost.

Any ideas?

 

[justanothermp5]

i can guarantee its not going lean lol if it feels sluggish its bogging down because the ECU is dumping fuel. Pretty normal for a MSP ECU with no piggyback
