4WD/AWD

Get a Subaru! That's my plan, keep the P5 for a sexy DD and get the new STI 5-Door for the Weekend Warrior

yeah been thinking of a diff car/keep p5 then i can take all the time i need/want to fix up the p5
 
These aren't racing machines. They are 5-doors, borderline wagons intended for families and crazy cat-ladies. The 2.0L 130HP is nice for a car like that, but the transmission isn't meant for racing. Honestly, cars like the MSP coming stock with 8psi is much compared to Evo's and STi's coming with something like 21psi. The High-compression Sport20 was a great addition with 179hp and even an AWD option, but are rare. What are you looking for...2-door, 4-door, 5-door...3-door? The Hyundai Veloster looks sweet in person and has a turbo model about to launch. It's a 3-door with one suicide door on the passenger sideThis should be a nice crossover of your SS and P5

^ That does not look bad at all. but mostlikely will be another mazda if eventually i do decide to get a different car or sell the p5 etc time will tell

Veloster Turbo is the first vehicle in Hyundai's 7/11 product initiative (seven new or redesigned models in the next 11 months). Hyundai just completed its 24/7 version 2.0 product initiative (seven new or redesigned models in 24 months), with the debut of the 2012 Hyundai Azera.

TWIN-SCROLL TURBOCHARGER AND GDI TECHNOLOGY
The 1.6-liter turbocharged GDI four-cylinder engine in the 2013 Veloster Turbo produces 201 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 195 lb-ft of torque from 1750 -- 4500 rpm with regular fuel. The Veloster Turbo is estimated to deliver 27 mpg city and best-in-class 38 mpg highway for manual transmission models. Hyundai's 1.6-liter Gamma turbocharged engine features a twin-scroll turbocharger that when combined with the GDI system, results in instantaneous power delivery. Twin-scroll turbochargers have traditionally been used on more expensive high performance engines, but Hyundai has brought this technology down its line-up from the Sonata 2.0T.

Twin-scroll turbocharger designs have two exhaust gas inlets divided by split walls inside the turbine housing, with both gas passages controlled by a waste-gate. A twin-scroll turbo recovers even more energy from the exhaust than a single-scroll turbocharger, thanks to a divided manifold. The twin-scroll design separates the cylinders whose exhaust gas pulses interfere with each other, resulting in improved pressure distribution in the exhaust ports and a more efficient delivery of exhaust gas energy to the turbocharger's turbine.
For example, at the start of the intake stroke of cylinder one and when both the intake and exhaust valves of cylinder one are open (valve overlap period), cylinder three already starts its exhaust stroke with the exhaust valve open. If the exhaust passages of cylinder one and three were connected, the exhaust gas pulse from cylinder three would increase the back pressure of cylinder one. This would reduce the induction of the fresh air and increase the amount of hot residual gases inside the cylinder. However, with the twin-scroll turbocharger setup, this interference is minimized.
The result of this superior scavenging effect from a twin-scroll design leads to better pressure distribution in the exhaust ports and a more efficient delivery of exhaust gas energy to the turbocharger's turbine. This in turn allows greater valve overlap, resulting in an improved quality and quantity of the air charge entering each cylinder. In fact, with more valve overlap, the scavenging effect of the exhaust flow can literally draw more air in on the intake side. At the same time, drawing out the last of the low-pressure exhaust gases help pack each cylinder with a denser and purer air charge. Maximum boost from the turbocharger is 18 psi
 
PICTURES!?!?!? I hope you don't mind Circuit, but I fell in love with your radio surround and I'm copying you.
I have the DG CF glovebox cover, Brushed DaveB rings, plan on getting the Guage surround, and then wrapping my radio surround like you. I also plan on getting the Circuit Type II Brushed shift knob

Pics to come after I finish the other side and do the piece on the hatch above the grab handle. I don't mind at all! Glad someone likes that setup :) I actually am not running it anymore and just have a black 00-01 radio surround with the sides di-noc'ed. I do have my window switches in brushed aluminum though.

hmmm. that brushed aluminum would look good on the cup holders too. on that note, anyone got a link to the brushed alum vinyl?

Yeah I had that too, with the flip-top cupholder. This is where I got mine: https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)
 
Cleverfrog: I noticed you're from South Bend and ventured into your vehicle pics. Yeah, the second one of your MSP? I bought that silver P5 right next to it back in February. Mind = BLOWN!!!!

Im actually in Rolling Prairie so you are literally my neighbor somewheres. Is that P5 from that used dealer by sauers?
 
Oh herro, Shae!

I put the sticky tires on, washed her, checked the fluids and put the helmet and small tool box in the car for auto-x tomorrow. :)

See ya tomorrow morning, Cheese! I'll be rocking a Team Shalen t-shirt, can't miss it.
 
Finished brushed aluminum wrapping the door handles. Came out great. Not enough for the hatch garnish, so I'm going to re-do the window switches (they are some cheap vinyl that isn't textured like the 3M).

installed my morimoto mini h1 projectors

How did they turn out? That is my next project.
 
I'll have some pics here soon. going to the dragstrip tomorrow to see what i can do. hoping for a 14 sec pass or 95 mph trap
 
Had a flat lastnight :/ got a replacement today.

Noticed on my rear sway bar on the driver side is good but the passenger side of it the sway bar is hitting /sitting on the metal right under it.

I have adjustable links . Does that mean I open it more or close it to fix that problem ?
 
I spent the day at MIS for the Nationwide race. Unfortunately, I didn't take my car. So she sat at my girlfriend's house while her dad and I drank ourselves stupid all day.

She'll be getting an oil change and a good bath next weekend.
