What have you done to your P5 today?

[Bala]

so your just using it as an over flow tank? im havent set mine up yet as im having an aluminum adaptor made to tap the pressure hose offa. you can buy one from greddy but it taks forever to get and my buddy can make a piece up in no time for free.

Yeah, I'm just using it as an overflow. Bottom and top (pressure cap) nips are capped with the middle nip using the oem vent hose. Imagine the stocker between my intake and battery box and you'll see why I changed it out

I'd like to see it set up in-line as they intended (2thumbs)

got my non damaged rim on, and dodged the trees the tornados brought down while i was in class. wee

Tornados? (boom04)

it was freaking nuts. it went from really nice out to a monsoon, like completely sideways rain - the lab lost power like 3 times, we finished our lab on generator power

Ah, that was an awesome day. Yes, that is my hood...well actually Craigville beach parking lot about 3 miles from my house.

Many pics and flicks found here. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123627716

The Greddy breather tank is not designed as a replacement, but rather is developed to go inline with the stock coolant colector as a means to "breathe" more in high performance engines.

I installed it in my car as a replacement and it kept overflowing because it's volume capacity does not equal that of the stock container. It has now been removed, but here are some photos.

Looks awesome, except for the left tinted taillight and right stock taillight

haha pwned. cool that you got the car back though

Didnt a tornado touch down in Severna Park??

anywho, backed mine into a fence this morning at work (doh)

how bad is it? and yes, one in severna park and one on the eastern shore. we saw the one that hit severna park, you could see the funnel from class. it was crazy last night leaving the bar - trees and power lines down, deer EVERYWHERE

 

[Salmon_Rob]

my rear bumper now points downward.. its sagging soo bad on the passengers side.. have you ever taken the rear bumper off?? I need help fixing it...

i havent, but im sure duct tape and super glue can do something for it most likely the clips got messed up. we'll look at it this weekend if u want

Today I got seriously down about my Protege5.

A lengthy read about the swift sport:
http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/28/paris-motor-show-suzuki-swift-sport/

If it comes here, I will finally be willing to trade in my Protege5. :'( It's bittersweet.. I'm almost hoping they go back to their stance that it won't come here.

 

[Salmon_Rob]

Yes definitely... It looks like complete s*** sagging down.. its all loose and rattle-y on the corner where it attaches to the quarter panel... blah.

we need to send u to driving school

 

[Salmon_Rob]

wtf that thing has a tubular exhaust manifold and s***. that > protege 5 im sorry

 

[Salmon_Rob]

lol *hug* its ok. i did get run off the road and hit a median. but i have my new rim on yayyyyyyyyy

 

[Kansei]

wtf that thing has a tubular exhaust manifold and s***. that > protege 5 im sorry

You know me, I'm like the world's biggest proponent of the Protege5, and I'm the one posting that stuff... if given the chance, I would trade my Protege5 for that in a heartbeat. Sadly I know my 74k mile Protege5 isn't worth that much, so I'll do everything in my power (I'm an impulse buyer so it'll be hard) to scrape together money to buy that car. I'm sure I won't be able to get it right when it comes out, maybe I'll have to buy it when it is 1 year old with 12k miles on it like I did with my Protege5.. but I don't care I will have that car if it comes here.

Oh and for everyone else here's the picture of the 1.6 litre showing it's cool exhaust manifold:

Edit: oh and it's no concept car at all.. that's the production version you're looking at.

 

[Salmon_Rob]

well you know me. im like, the 2nd biggest proponent of the p5 or something...yeah...so its rare for me to say bad things about it...and stuff...

 

[Salmon_Rob]

and it has more wkw than we have whp that makes me sad inside
