What have you done to your P5 today?

Biggest upgrade to my P5, yet. I upgraded from Financee to Owner. I can't wait to get the title in the mail!

nice! Title mod adds 15RWHP! Dyno proven, and that's on a MUSTANG dyno, and we know how low those figures usually are!
 
today i drooled cause i saw a nicely modded p5 driving around my school it was blue with cf hood man i ran a little to try and catch him but shortly got tired
 
^ So basically what you are saying is that you wanted to cheat on your P5 with another. Shame on you.

good buy........when is your install?????

-R
I'm installing as soon as it gets warm enough that I don't have to worry about snow. I gotta be able to ride my bike to work/school if it turns into more than just a weekend project.

you already have a stock MSP turbo right?

Yup. Absolutely mint, barely looks like it was even used.

I'm not cheating....it's a simple mutual seperation that will eventually occur in time.
Ok cheater, whatever helps you sleep at night... (enguard)
 
I started trying to talk the wife into letting me bid on Ken's partial MSP kit on Ebay. I'd get his parts, and just set them aside while looking for great deals on the other stuff I'd need, and waiting for the warrenty to run out!
 
haha for the record i chased it to see what he had done to his and compare with what im goin to do to mine but yea it was a sight to see anyone on here post from Rowan University with a blue p5 w/ cf hood and exhaust?? haha im desperate for a new friend
 
I installed this on my laptop a few days ago but didn't remember I had it until now. It's a little piece of software called Car Companion (open source). You can get it at http://www.chocolatay.com/carCompanion/

It's java based, so you can use it on macs, pcs, linux, whatever. You can use it to keep track of any and all maintenance, it's totally customizeable too. It comes with some preset maintenance items like oil changes and spark plugs, but you can change the service interval and cost and everything, plus add notes like what oil/plugs you use, etc.

You can export the data in XML format, print reports, even print a sticker that lists the mileage when all of your next maintenance work is due.

So far i've added air filter, coolant, oil, plugs/wires, and rear sway bar lube. Now any time I'm working on my car I'll just punch the info in on my garage laptop as I'm doing it instead of using a notebook in my glovebox like I have been.

It does U.S./metric, can track multiple cars, etc too. In theory you could use it to keep track of gas purchases too, but that isn't really the point (and it won't calculate mpg and stuff like that like you can easily do in excel).
 
^^^Will take a look at that tonight when I get home from work.

Installed the silverstar turn signals a few minutes ago....finally! I paid for them back on the 27th of September! I actually consulted the owner's manual first and was shocked to read that hatchback owners should contact an authorized Mazda dealer for replacement of the turn signal bulbs! (omg) Popped the hood and WOW, install was the same as the sedan. Still looking for high beams, but want to pick up one of Rickman's hoodies first. :)
 
nice find..I am going to send this to my fiance's dad. He has 3 cars and 5-6 motorcycles. I am sure that would help him out a lot.

Ok where is my jackass hat?....I just checked the manual again and it was referring to the side-marker lights for the hatchback. But mine was produced before the addition of side-markers.:confused:

It means the ones on the sides of the front bumper. They probably say that since they aren't all that easy to remove like the other lights on the car.
