What have you done to your P5 today?

i use my hands. the way the filter is positioned makes it to damn akward for me to get to it with my big arms. i burn them on everything

The key is to not do it immediately after a 5 hour road trip :D
 
i need a bit of help from you now if you wouldn't mind

i'm planning to park morrigan for winter (getting a cheap winter beater, hopefully another mazda); what are some things i should know/do before doing so? i do plan to fire her up every week or two and take her for a short drive to keep things moving, prevent hoses from drying out, etc

also, i need a car cover for her. what do i need to look for in one? are there any particular brands out there that are better than another? i don't want to spend huge $, but i want to get something that will protect her properly (and hopefully fit the winter car during the summer)
 
man seeing everyones stuff they are doin to their p5s is giving me ideas for when i go home on weekends from school to work on my car thanks everyone and to those who ive read something has gone wrong im sorry that sucks ive been there before and damn
 
post pics of the newest mod. the dg cf interior kit. i swapped out the open cup holders for the lip cover ones. i like the look of the closed lid and the flat panel of carbon. and took some engine shots. painted the valve cover bronze. carbon grill is next with hopefully mirror covers and rear hatch handle. hope you enjoy

why the hell did my header never even bronze like that :'(

looks really nice kudakev.

I need to get the pics I took today onto my computer. I cleaned under the hood and did a temp repair on a little 'what has someone else done to your protege5 today' "mod". I guess leaving 25 spaces between my car and the next closest car while at home depot wasn't enough. I HATE PEOPLE.

Get a mazda 323 gtx for a winter car (peep)
if i could find one close by in good shape, i'd definitely consider it. but i really would prefer 4 door to 2 door... though, i hardly ever have anyone in the back seat. *shrugs* dunno, just like 4 door better
 
Here's the album from today.. yeah I narrowed it down to 4 pics haha :D

the last pic shows my temporary fix to the "mod" someone did to my car today. I'm just glad they didn't dent the panel or damage the paint.

I actually kinda like how the black looks, I'll have to take a pic of it with better lighting tomorrow.

yeah I think I might buy a Flickr Pro account, picasa web albums isn't nearly as full-featured as I'd like.

only 4.. weak.. lets see more... :D
 
^^ I gotta get photoshop reinstalled on this computer before I put out some of the other ones. I did a nice tripod shot with the hood open and with it closed so I can do one of those translucent hood images :)... not that you can't clearly see my engine through the evo vent hahaha. so how does everyone like my electrical tape mod? I'd direct link to the pic but yeah.. picasa web albums doesn't let you do that.
