What have you done to your P5 today?

[bazooka joe]

Drove almost a thousand miles this weekend, up to Ontario and back. Cruised 75 and got 33 mpg round trip. Odo crossed over 144k.

that's with thw AC on...wow...bruce, you should keep the car just to see how many miles you can put on her!

I'm gonna wash all the nasty bugs off my car from my trip up to Montreal and back this weekend

what does everybody here use to get bugs off the front bumper? I bought some Turtle Wax bug and tar remover...gonna try that out today. usually I just scrub 'em off with the lambswool mitt...

 

[Salmon_Rob]

ive actually found that an ordinary household sponge, two sided, works very well with the buggies

 

[magnumP5]

I've always used bug-remover and those little sponges with the mesh covering. You just have to scrub lightly so you don't mess up the clearcoat.

are there oem mazdaspeed doorsills?

Yep, fresh from a totalled MSP (cabpatch)

 

[whitemp5seattle]

oooooo I didn't know there were oem doorsills...that's cool...my doorsills say protege5 right now. So when you open the door you see protege5 on the doorsills and mazdaspeed on the floormats

sure would be great if I ACTUALLY had turbo lol

wrote this how to after hacking my wheel locks off. The last wheel was a pain! yes i know i could have called McGard but didn't have the time to wait for a new key. Driving without being able to get a wheel off if I get a flat isn't a good idea to me. If it's not moved yet will a mod please move it to the how-to.

that's weird because KBB usually overprices.
