What have you done to your P5 today?

Washed her for the first time in a while and even applied a coat of quickwax. She needs a real waxing badly but I haven't been able to for the past three months due to the accident. I decided to snap a few pics as well...

so classy man. nice job. i wish that i could show off an intercooler... damn
 
friday i attempted to put the rear suspension on.

only to find out the top plate wasnt low enough on the tokico, and it clanged and rattled and stressed me out for a a day. it didnt make it any better that the nut was stuck and turned the shock itself.

thankfully yesterday i got everything back to stock. no more noise it rides just fine now. ill have to use a washer to fill the threads where theyre stripped the next time i attempt to put it on.
 
i know i haven't posted in here for a very long time (moving, wedding, sick, etc)... glad to see everyone's still about :)

unfortunately, i'm selling my car :( all the life changes have kind of made it time to move on to something else. i don't have all the items out of my car yet, nor do i have a fs thread going, but i thought i'd give everyone a heads up in case they were interested in anything. if interest is expressed, i'll take pics of the items in question as required when selling anything on the forum.

**pm me if you are interested instead of posting here please.**

- msp racing harts, 03.5 with/without falken fk451 tires - i estimate about 30% tread left on the tires; these are heavy bastards so shipping will be a little pricey. one rim has very, very slight curb rash. price dependent on shipping and whether or not tires are included; make me an offer.
- p5 nose mask - basically brand new condition. i've never used it, and the guy i bought it from i think used it maybe a couple times. it is missing one or two of the clips, but they're like $2 from the dealer. i'd like $50 shipped.
- custom p5 car cover - brand new condition, i only used it this past winter when parking my car in the backyard. it is a 4-layer cover; if it can stand up to the canadian winters, it can stand up to anything. i paid $250 for it, i'd like $200 shipped.
- NRG hood props - like new condition; $75 shipped
- custom fiberglass sub box by mryellermp5 - fits the hatch pocket on the driver's side perfectly, covered in black carpeting; looks OEM. fits 10" sub; i'd like $150 shipped
- genuine DaveB gauge rings, brushed finish - the real deal, brand new condition; make an offer.
- obx header - in great shape, includes the non-fouler; i'd like $150 shipped.
- gujustud custom chrome oil cap - SOLD
- gujustud custom stock battery tie-down, anodized blue - i'd like $30 shipped
- shaundarbie leather shift boot with silver stitching - SOLD
- yellow luminics foglight bulbs - never used; $25 shipped.

i think that's it... but i'll post if i think of anything else.

good luck with the sale Andrea! And with things in general. I just bought the fk451 tires for my mp3 wheels and I love them...they're really quiet and sticky!

Dory, the miata, is definately a she. Somehow the thought of dancing with / riding the daylights out of a dude just doesn't sit right with me LMAO


Yes. Contrary to popular belief. Shut the f up rob! (hah)
 
Took it to the shop today, bad alternator. This is a p5 thread but i couldn't find a pro thread. Thinking of changing the transmission fluid and filter. Any suggestions? He has 62k and never changed it before.
