What have you done to your P5 today?

just installed my new (prototype) optima battery tie down.....;) ....looks sweet...i'll post some pics later tonight! :)
 
Drove to the New England International Auto Show with Crazee D. Very nice rides coming out. Hate to say it, but I may be leaving Mazda next year.
 
^^^What happened to the rx-8? More importantly what has you on the verge of jumping ship??

Today = oil change then a drive across town to get wings, a drive back across town for pizza and then back home.
 
Rolled my rear fenders. I actually started out on the MSP to get a feel for the procedure and then did the P5. My friend held a heat gun and monitored with an infrared thermometer to keep the surface at around 120F (this is to help keep the paint from cracking as you fold the lip in - it worked) as I used the roller. Turns out I didn't really need to roll the fenders :rolleyes: The MSP's fenders had rubber on the lip from the previous owners autoX tires. But when I got to the P5, I found that the tires have been lightly touching further up in the wheel well. There was no evidence of the tire touching the lip like I thought. Well, what the Hell ... I had the roller, so I brought the lip in an extra 1/4" for good measure. Looks like I need to play around with adding a little bit of bump stop to the rear struts. I've got some extras, so I'll just stort horseshoeing different thicknesses around the strut to compliment the bump stop that's in there until I find maximum travel with no rubbing. Then I'll pull the struts and put in a permanant piece ... yay!

i think he spent time at the subaru exhibit yesterday?????

Indeed I did. Two options are in mind, and are completely different vehicles. Thinking between an STi and a G35 coupe.
