What have you done to your P5 today?

[Shasta]

Installed my HIDs....crappy pics, will post better ones tonight. I didnt align them. I hope to God their level haha, im so effin tired i dont give a s*** right now.

It was raining and very tight quarters in my garage, so here's a passenger side shot

where i hid em...it'll do for now. Not bad considering the bumper stayed on the car.

Great location, would like to see more pics of the headlights themselves, which kit did you use?

Wash and waxed...

Checked my PCV and the vacuum lines were on backwards... LOL not my fault... the shop that swapped my motor put it on wrong.... Hope this solves my problem of stalling out all the time...

Just to make sure i got it right though....

The outside vacuum line goes to the intake manifold. And the inside vacuum line (closet to the plug) goes to the canister. Is this correct?

Hopefully they arent too high, their abt at the knee from 20ft away or so. Might have to adjust them a tad more, havent been able to get them on the road yet since my belt is F'ed up.

 

[i12drivemyMP5]

I would recommend doing so, make sure to use a high temp paint. Here is what mine looked like before I got a Corksport bar:

Drove to Atlanta from Daytona. I hope y'all got to watch the race, it was amazing

We were camped on the fence at nascar 1/2, practically 20 - 30 yards from the track, and just across the street from the international horse shoe. It was glorious

Oh, and Mazda won in GT. Just to top it all off

mazdaspeed pedals!

OMG possibly hardest install yet on the p5, header, short shifter, full exhaust, cai, all pieces of cake compared to these. It was nearly impossible to push the rubber over the pedals, i tried using a hook from my pocket knife, an electricions screwdriver to no aval. I ended up cutting 3/4 corners on one, my buddy had great luck with the brake one(only taking 25min) and the accelator pedal was by far the easiest, just marking two holes and drilling away. Here are the pics.

Replaced the broken plastic fastener in the grill, installed Tribute washer nozzles (wow...amazing how much better these are) and installed a black leather w/red stitching e-brake boot.

 

[mx-p5]

You get a pic of the ebrake boot? I'd like to see it
