Looks good, but you need to lower it mooooooooore! :D

if it was i'd be rubbing big time in the back. as it is now i have about 3-4 inches of travel before the tire would rub on the fender. Its only been dropped about 3/4 of an inch but that is more than enough for me.
 
Yeah, I did put it the "g" on the end there.... Give me some credit at least...... Oh wait, I tend to use the phrase "pert near" WAY more than I should too......lol.

Got the oil changed, painted the exhaust mani heat shield, painted upper radiator brackets, got VICS screw pieces out of pre-cat screen. Almost forgot, drove her too !!

Well, I was born in Kansas, lived in Cali for a bit when I was little, then moved to MI when I was like 8. Kinda funny eh.............

I travel alot for work, been in the South a bit..............yeah, that's the excuse I think I am going to use....:)

I did spend like 6 weeks in Boston a few years ago working on the baggage handling system at Logan Intl airport. Never did pick up that language you guys are working with over there. :)
 
Finaly got the P5 to the Dyno. I want to see what my starting point is before I do an engine swap shortly.
Made 142 Hp to the wheels. The number alone is depressing but considering the factory lists the engine at 140 HP that is not so bad. Only bolt ons are AEM intake, FS ZE intake cam and AWR header with stock exhaust. All 3 pulls were within 1 hp of each other and temps last Fri were just over 100 in the shop.
The power band was nice and linear with HP steadily increasing to about 7100 rpm. I can post a pic of the dyno sheet if any are interested.

Next up MPS crate engine (non-turbo, high compression) and more dyno numbers.
 
wait wait wait wait.. 142whp with just intake, fs-ze cam, and header?? dear god take me to that dyno!

I would figure 107-110 with those mods wow.
 
i installed the passenger side carbon fiber style taillight today, thankx to chefchris, only installed that side because the other sides taillight is smashed into and the quarter panel aswell, so the taillight wouldnt fit in aswell as it should, it looks good IMO. i need gas!!

???? Were you in an accident?

Also thanks to chefchris as he bought my stock tails.....kinda nice knowing that even though I couldn't make it to MazdaSummerPalooza, a piece of my car could! :)

Done on a Mustang Dyno. I'll post the pic for you tomorrow just for giggles.

I'm guessing the new timing belt, AWR oil pan and MSP shifter do not contribute much, if anything to the HP numbers so I did not mention them. :)
