What have you done to your P5 today?

[Katya4me]

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.

Well, when you're used to driving a mostly stock (engine/exhaust-wise) P5 or Miata on a daily basis, you forget until you sit in a race prepped Camaro or heavily modded WRX/STi, what power feels like and sounds like. I am glad the carputer is no longer in though because it would probably be having fits w/ the vibration.

now your rear mm will go here shortly or at least it did on mine. I still need to replace it. lol

Hush!!! I don't want to do that one. Maybe I can avoid it if I replace the side mounts, think that'll work?

Oh, yeah and picked up a pair of Proxe4s to replace the worn out 512s. I need to polish off the rear ones and then get 2 more Proxe4s since they seem pretty good for all seasons.

it was an $11 oil change. i just told the kid i wanted 4.5 quarts and he was like ok.
i know pretty much everyone at the garage i took my car to also. but either way its an $11 oil change.

was it synthetic?

That's how the car should be driven

 

[amsgator]

Changed out the headlight bulbs again. I forgot how @#$!%^! hard the passenger side bulb is to replace. Argh...

knock on wood, i've had my luminics in (hi and low) since late summer and no problems for me... hood prop kit is finally on its way but oh, does she need a bath and a good wax job - hasn't had one since before i parked her last fall

 

[amsgator]

i waxed mine two weekends ago soo smooth...but now she is dirty again

i hate how the rear bumper gets all the dirt and stuff from the roof when it rains...dirt spots....eew

 

[mazda_pro5_2nr]

Lol. Get the Auto EXE spoiler, helps somewhat....and if not, it just looks plain good.

Doing the same as I type this... definitely needed

 

[aMaff]

It's just dirt. It's not hurting anything.

Mine burned out and the tech replaced it during my annual inspection. I think it took him at least 20 min. to figure it out. LOL

haha 'tis true....a little harder for me with the ATX though unless I mash the pedal around town.

It isn't that it's hard to figure out. It's just that damned washer fluid reservior sitting right behind the headlight - it would be cake without that being there.

how do the luminics look compared to the sylvanias? i've had the same problem with my silverstars, about 5-6 monts for a set of bulbs is rediculous!

the money looks better in my bank though

 

[amsgator]

well i got the SLS mount in....however the stock nuts did not fit the bolts SLS sent me, so i spent an 30 minutes running places to see who had what fit...ace finally had it, lowes didnt. SLS needs to get bolts that fit the stock nuts.... one of the bushings still isnt up against the mount all the way and when i push it against it all the way it wont stay. so not sure about that....

now on top of it all...my car is makin a funny noise again.... its kinda like a creak and i can feel the clutch vibrate when the sounds starts...so i hope my clutch isnt screwed now....it's a creak but it's low pitched, not a high squeely one. so now i am concerned. i dont know what it is. if i start out really slow and release the clutch really slow it doesn't do it, but if I start of normal it does.... It's one problem after another....

Money always looks better in your bank....but parts look so much better on your Mazda.
