What have you done to your P5 today?

[MyZmZm]

lol, you guys are funny

morrigan is sitting in the driveway yet again, and in the pouring rain no less and the water is definitely NOT beading off... hopefully i keep feeling better so once it's nice i can clean and seal the summer wheels and give her a good wash, clay and wax and get wheels swapped over - would be nice if i could get that all done prior to heading to wichita for a couple weeks on the 17th

Today I used it to cart around parts for my Honda. First I found out that the Optima yellow top I had in it is completely shot...16 months old. I used the remaining warranty to get a Duralast, then I took all 3 alternators I have here in to get tested because I know the one in the car is bad. And came back with two good ones and one shot one. Now I get to sweep it all out for Carlisle.

If you had another good alternator I'd pick it up off you.. I sorta think mine is on it's way out. My car is NEVER over 12.1 volts, shouldn't the alternator jack it up to 14?

14.4 usually. But I have no Mazda alternators...just Honda...sorry man.

Did my oil change, pulled off the roof racks and washed and waxed her, plus put the summer rims and front lip back on.

cracked? no....... what happened?

Georgia's potholes apparently. Replaced the valve stems and noticed a 3/4 inch crack on one wheel and about a 1/2 inch crack on another. (these are a retard's measurement....retard being me, lol) But yeah...they suck.

got to drive it today for the first time after the instal of spec stage2 cutch, fidanza flywheel, nsn 5th gear swap, and msp lsd. HUGE difference!! no so much power/acceleration but responsiveness. The car is so fun to drive (so or fast) BRING ON THE TWIGGY CAMS!!

Oh also put the roof rack on... WORS (Wisconsin Off Road Series) mountain bike racing season starts this sunday!!

Ain't it nice to have the light flywheel? How do you like that 5th gear?

 

[Kansei]

[mazda_pro5_2nr]

Have you guys seen that commercial for the simoniz liquid diamond spray? I want to try it and see if it really works.

Haven't really got a chance to test her out yet... drops rpms in 5th by about 125.... i'll keep ya posted on gas mileage and such

OK, all done with side mount + test drive. Used jack with board to support motor. Things are in a bind a bit to tighten everything up, bet my rear mount is toast. I will add another washer on the inside between bracket, washers under aluminum bracket & longer bolt with self locking nut to get things squared up better. Not off crazy but noticeable by my perfectionist eye & how it all tightened up. Initially the vibes are not much different than with just the front but that is a good thing because they weren't bad at all before. Drives fine. I'll see how it breaks in. It's definitely sturdier setup now than the oem. The oem wasn't in too bad shape, just small tear on one side. Here's the pics.........http://www.msprotege.com/members/i12...P5/sls_001.jpg

Thanks! That worked. I'm still on the fence as to these and a combo of filled mounts, or the SU mounts. I've run the AWR mounts and felt that the interior vibs were too much ...

i'll take vibs any day over wheelhop
