I know they are out there, but I don't need one. Both of my Proteges are already turbo'd. All the parts I have are just leftovers from motor swaps and upgrades over the years.
What have you done to your P5 today?

I dd my p5 about 600 miles a week. It's slow. I have an 11 second lightning and 500hp f250 to drive when I'm not going to work.
Ya. I did brakes about 15k ago. Cat needs s timing belt soon. Burns a little oil, but it keeps plugging along.
Honestly, I hate driving a modified dd. I keep the dd stock. Spend the mod money on the toy.

Wow, those are some fast pickups! Cool. I'm backwards though, I have a base acura rsx, but I hate driving it because it's stock. I have a lot more fun in the p5.

Put on a nice pair of Mazdaspeed door sills. They make they car look nice but I was expecting the shiny piece to be bigger.

Looking through old pictures and found some of my P5. Look how freaking clean it was. I was too young to appreciate it.
Would like to find another one but the more I think about it I would get bored not having a turbo, and it would be easier and cheaper to start with an MSP than turbo a P5.
Damn Cherokee pulled in front of me and did this:
Didn't do much to it, black emblems, red front M, fog lights on with parking lights 'mod', cut the grille to let air into the stock intake, took off the roof racks, installed HIDs, short antenna, Mazda 6 rear wiper, put new speakers, head unit and sub in it, tinted the tail lights and marker lights for a bit and it had the accessory bumper guard and sun roof air deflector but that was about it. Had big plans and started my Protege obsession but I'm happy with my cars now.

He was young, about 17. bad thing is he left the scene after we exchanged info, the cops showed up and clearly saw it was his fault so they wrote the report accordingly. A few days later he showed up at my house with a couple of his friends looking for me, pissed that the accident was his fault. I laughed and shut the door in his face. Never saw him again, and got an insurance check a couple weeks later.

Well at least you got some money for a new car. That's good, if I were you I'd buy an 07 Mazda6 wagon. That b**** is sexy, that's my next car if anything happens to the p5.

Lol that happened back in early 2010, I bought an MSP and have had it ever since. Now it has a forged motor and a bunch of mods and I have another titanium MSP to match that I am about to sell to make room for a Spicy or a Speed6. Personally I am not a huge fan of the first gen 6, I was a tech at Mazda and those cars had their fair share of problems. The second and third gens were built much better and the Speed was built in Japan (regular 6s were built in Michigan on the same line as the Mustang). I am a Mustang guy but QC in Japan is nothing like it is here.

All cars have their far share of problems. Just like the P5 but everything has a fix.
Love the P5, dope car and body style it's well worth the extra money to change things out.

I have my new CF Window Switches and weathertech window visors coming in the mail.
Replaced my front strut mounts, bearings, bellows/bump stops and installed the front pair of an Eibach ProKit
spring set. Solved part of my front end over bumps clunk and put some rake on it. Gotta do the rears this week,
hate pulling all the interior panels out of the way. Also have a Corksport rear strut brace to do as part of that job.
