What have you done to your P5 today?

i just installed an oil pressure guage in my car today...unfortunately, the guage stopped working after 10 min...dunno y
 
So, I was about to install my horn and my neighbor down the street and a couple house's around the corner ( he's a ricer) came over. He asked what I was doing, I said "I am installing my new music horn, you can program it to play songs" He was like, "SWEEEEEET man, where did you get it. Thats exaclty what I want!" (with his face looking as happy as if he was jerkin it) I told him that I got it from a store from France (don't know why I said France) and that it was the last one that they are going to sell. He then asked if he could buy it from me (knowing me, I will sell anything for the right price). So I acted like I didn't want to sell it and said it was really expensive. I then continued to say I got it $60 (when it was really $35 from advanced). He was like, " I will give you 73$, since thats all I have right now until I go to the bank." I was like, "I don't know man, I really like it." Then I was like " Ohh alright, it will go better with your car anyways" He then went to his car and gave my all of the 73$!!!!!!!!!!. I was like if you need help installing it let me know! And on his way he went to wherever he was going.

So all in all, I made a pretty good profit!!!!! And the whole time, the advanced auto parts bag was right out there on the side lol :):)



Cliffs
--------------
1) I got naked and went running down the street.
2) My neighbor saw me and joined
3) we then both got chased by a dog and we had to climb a tree
4) Guy came out and saw us both naked in a tree

Good luck dealing with the Karma exchange on that one... (cabpatch)
 
hey havent posted in like 5 months but today i washed my p5 and thought about buying the dg carbon grill insert but am not sure anyone want to shed some light on my idea?
 
I just drop'd my 5 w/the pro-kit - and I f**ked up all 4 Swaybar endlinks... front two are on... but they're messed up... back two are "gone" - got pissed and chopped them...

How long can I run without the back ones ?

I'll post pic's once it stops raining

Forever I guess... you'll just have a steel dead weight in the rear instead of a sway bar. You may want to zip tie it on so it doesn't swing down and hit anything important if it's not hooked up at all

It'll handle like s***... well, compared to actually having the sway bar.

I ran mine swaybarless for about 2 months. For the same reason as you...

Nobody told me that you had to turn the inside of the rear swar bar, I sat there turning it for about 45 minutes thinking, "Just one more and it'll break loose" ARGH...


Just get some AWR endlinks, that'll fix'm.
 
discovered my passenger side light isnt sealed all the way. not cool. it didn't fog up when i washed my car yet it did today when it rained. so i guess when i get a change i'll wait for the moisture to clear and add to the sealant
 
hey what are you guys talking about turning the sway bars or something when you put in the lowering springs? Im actually gonna be puttin in some springs here when they come and I wanna know before I have the same s*** happen to me. THanks!
 
Picked up a wrecked P5 on Saturday. I'll be grabbing parts for a five lug swap, interior swap (cosmetic parts plus power locks, windows and keyless entry) and I'll be getting the engine, tranny and intake manifold out too.

get the right endlinks (aka Sedan / Mazdaspeed) and you'll be fine.

I think it's the ES sedan endlinks that are the same as the protege...checking now

EDIT: These are your guidelines:
* 1999-2000 have shorter front endlinks than the post-refresh models, but share the same rear endlinks.
* All 2001-2003 use the same front endlinks (MP3 and MSP included)
* Rear MSP endlinks are the same as the 1999-2000 front endlinks.
* When upgrading to the Racing Beat (MSP/MP3) rear sway bar, make sure to use MSP rear endlinks

How many miles on it? Mind holding onto the engine - I might be needing one soon depending on the condition of my current motor.

I believe 60-70k on it. I have to call Mazda and see if they will replace my engine due to the VICS damage. If not, I'll probably be keeping the engine.

Oh, and thanks for the help Rob. Try to keep your plans free Tuesday, I want to get the dash out then.
