What have you done to your P5 today?

jesus christ thats a big ass amp...i take it youre just powering speakers no subs?

It's running all my speakers with the amp. Says it is 6-channel but it's basically 2 separate amps under the hood. 1st is 75x4 @4ohms and the 2nd is 2x150 @4ohms but I have it set up as 600x1@2ohms. Kickers separates up front and rear doors and the 2 12" solobaric subs.

NIV----How much did that fin antenna run. I've found them on eBay for $65, seems kinda high, but IDK?
 
Yesterday I put a new K&N filter on the SRI and fixed my downpipe rattle. She'll be getting a good cleaning today.

After driving more today and going outside to clean it, I'm done. I'm so disgusted with the squeaks, rattles, dings and scratches that I'm going back to stock. Look for a HUGE FS thread coming soon...

Damn man, what happened? I always hate to see these kind of posts because I can't help but to think that I will end up like this one day... and after all the work I will have done...

you best be kidding!! :D I never even got to see the thing!
 
What's the deal? This whole thread seems to be divided in half on the whole mod scene. Are there any mods worth doing to my p5?

Yall's is confusifying me!

Mods are worth it, they make me love my car more and more. Yeah, they may introduce noises and rattles or make the car a bit uncomfortable, but the same goes for any car in that regard.

Just have fun with your car and love it. Yeah, it would take a lot of money to make it into a 300-400 HP race monster, but the protege isn't the only car around that is like that.

^^^ Agreed 100%. All the little pains you get from modding this car are definitely worth it. I have AWR motor mounts all the way around and I removed the VTCS from my IM so my car shakes violently and has a rough idle - but you know what, I LOVE IT!!! I love the fact that I can feel my engine turning and that I can feel the bumps in the road - it makes me feel like I'm almost "one with my car." I drove my parent's '94 Camry around yesterday and hated it - it felt like a was driving a boat with all the leaning and bouncing. I don't think I will ever get sick of modding this car...
 
Thanks for the kind words guys, but I'm just sick of it. I'm not kidding when I say everyday there's a new scratch, rattle or squeek. RI roads AND drivers are the worst, this is my daily and I'm sick of seeing this beauty ruined. Pictures don't always tell the true story. I'm putting it back to stock so I can just drive it. Drive it without fear of worrying about rock chips, potholes, other drivers, people not knowing how to park, something new coming loose and rattling, blowing my engine, etc, etc, etc... I just want to drive it and not care if something bad happens. I've already pulled a bunch off the car since the last post, FS thread going up in approximately 20-30 minutes. I need to shower and take this all in first.
 
Wow......after all that hard work. You gotta do whats right for you bro. Good luck. Don't get too discouraged.
