What have you done to your P5 today?

[mx-p5]

Oh! I think you're misunderstanding. I've only got my deep socket on the wrench. When I said extentions, I meant adding leverge to the actual wrench handle. I made a longer handle out of my extentions. Sorry

And, yeah, the front is supposed to be easy, but it's kicking my butt! Slipped the wrench twice and tore my arm up. Fun fun. After I get the front on I'll see how it feels, but, if the front's bad, I probably should order the sides as well. That or I might just fill em wiht epoxy

yeah, you'll have to find an impact then. Have you tried soaking it w/ some PB Blaster and letting it sit for an hour or so? I'd try that.

Im planning on pulling my side mounts and filling them.

 

[mx-p5]

I woulda used PB blaster, but stupid me gave my can away when I sold the Jeep. Didn't think I'd need it(notcool)

Oh well. I'll be picking a can up on my way home from work and trying again this weekend. Otherwise, I'll find someone with an impact wrench.

Jeff, you didn't cause that did you?

Who me? (angel)

lol caused by black ice...or a red blur

(wink)

I will admit that, that section of road is fun to drive. Of course weather conditions and traffic congestion play a role in that.

Move the map up one click to see the entire 'cemetary curve'.

How are you going to fill them or get them filled? I've wanted to do that but idk anything about it

 

[Yaggie1]

I'm pretty sure there is a "how-to" on it. Been thinking about doing it myself. Coulda swore I saw one in there.

Suffered through the process of defrosting the entire interior after washing last night. Curse the -45C weather in Canada!

Took her to the carwash. Other than that she's just sitting there.

 

[MTV]

Drove her 1700 Km's this weekend from Montreal to Detroit and back. Gave it a nice run to clean her out.

I'm having some belt pwnage issues. When its effin cold out the belt starts to squeel but only for a short period of time, maybe a few seconds, buts its LOUD. When does Mazda reccommend changing both belts? They both look fairly new and are tight, but not overly so. Any ideas? Maybe just the weather? I'm trying to get an idea or replace them before my commute on Monday. And I dont have a damn manual, friggin autopart stores ftl

 

[Reitrof]

If they are squealing, they are loose. Have you tried tighten them? I changed mine at the same time the timing belt was done, 105K miles.

 

[ZOOMit]

They don't seem to be loose. Again, only does it when its cold - under 40degrees. Where do I tighten them up at? I don't see any kind of tensioner.

 

[MTV]

Spray them with Wd-40. It'll go away

I added a carbon fiber horn ring to my Tenzo R steering wheel:

And got some new stock tails for the P5 and tinted them:

what's your suspension set up? Chances are, it's not the springs. More likely the endlinks.
