What have you done to your P5 today?
- Thread starter Tg5
- Start date
Over the weekend, we did an oil change and I swapped to the 626 filter and it was quite nice not to have any leftover oil this time. Also swapped out the stock front motor mount that had 3 tears in it and put in an AWR manual front mount, so the car's a bit rumbly now.

Nice! How do they look?
I just got these in today:
and not sure if I mentioned it already but I'll say it again, got the 3 point strut bar in this past weekend....SHWING!

Hahaha thats the first I have heard the AWR mounts described that way.
I have the 95 AWR mounts front & rear and I love starting my car. It feels like there really is a motor up there under the hood.
Ahh the dreaded blown head light! My biggest gripe with the P5.Dont try the silver stars they wont last 2 months usually hehe. my roommate has a p5 too and it seems like the bulbs blow more often when its been raining. not sure if this is true or just coincident.

I got you beat. I got a whole 6 months out of my silverstars in the Prote.
On the other hand I've got over 5 years worth of life on the silverstars in my truck. That includes a lot of off roading and hunting. Go figure?

Are you talking about the cp racing or similar one for the front? How did you relocate the criuse control or did you eliminate it?mazda_pro5_2nr said:Nice! How do they look?

Strange, all the posts on silverstar problems. I have the sylvanias, not osrams & I've had 2 sets over the course of the 4 years of owning the car. 1 of the first set is still a backup for the new set.rednecks_r_us said:

Nope, didn't eliminate it. Just used the same bracket and bolted it to one of the existing bolts. I'll try to take some pics today after work. And yes its the CP Racing style strut bar....but it still makes a hell of a difference, original cp or not, lol.

i drove it to work. and contemplated stealing things from kanseis car saturday
Kicked the front tire when I found it super low on air this morning. I'm thinking it may have something to do with the bubble that's the size of a quarter in the sidewall...
Gotta do something about that before Saturday...definintely not driving 5 hours like that.
