What have you done to your P5 today?

[CTt3P5]

Mounted the snows today. Took advantage of the above freezing temps to clean the MX-5 wheels prior to storing them.

Never thought I'd say it, but let it snow.

Put my Sport 20 badge on today, jdm stuff rules!

Fixed the air direction (or airflow mode) knob which didn't want to go all the way to defrost. So on windshield+legs I'd get windshield only, on legs I'd get windshield+legs flow & so on. It was just a cable misalignment so it was quick too. While there, I also made sure temp knob actually generates max warmth since I'm in Toronto

Put in the MP3 ECU yesterday but didn't get a chance to post.
Did it at the sellers place too, so totally forgot to take pics.

May not be much extra horsepower, but boy do I notice that smoothed out power band... niiiiiiice.

 

[mx-p5]

Score! Yeah, not a huge power increase, but just a better running car all around.

It's just another peice to the puzzle for making power. Combine that with an intake, header, highflow midpipe, and catback exhaust, and it's quite nice

Went to the track!

Indeed!
Got the intake, and the header's on the way (just bought that AWR 4-2-1 that was up for sale).
I'll have to wait a bit before I go for the rest of the exhaust, but its all on the list.

Extreme weight reduction...

Looking good, you got the new engine all ready?

I'm starting to dislike mine again...

There is a Magnaflow catback exhaust FS in the FS section. Then, the only thing missing is a highflow midpipe.

That's my last piece of the puzzle before i think about underdrive pullies and lighter pullies and all that jazz

Yup, just tuning it up before I put it in the P5, it needs new manifold gaskets, and a new disty, then it should be ready to go.

v6 pro5 ftw!!!!

I'm probably going the RacingBeat route... keep it on the quiet side...

Lighter pulleys FTW!

6 pro5 ftw!!!!

+1!

 

[mx-p5]

yeah, i got a shopping list going

Paint my MSP lip, possibly repaint the MSP lip for Callie's car, highflow catted midpipe, H&R springs and blue struts, then i'll think about pullies

 

[magnumP5]

My entire shopping/installing list has been postponed until I can fix all my leaks...

 

[mx-p5]

my need for midpipe is due to leak. Exhaust leak to be specific. I can SEE through the hole where the midpipe meets header

LOL, I'd much rather having an exhaust leak right now. I have oil or coolant leaking from a total of about 5 different places right now.

 

[mx-p5]

Doh, that sucks.

Lines? Or cracks? Or no idea yet? lol

The PSSSHHHHh scares me for this reason

Well the majority of the oil is from my feed/return lines. I'm hoping it's just because I made my own braided steel lines and I went with cheap parts. In two weeks or so I'll probably go have some good quality ones made for me. The leaks that really baffle me are the oil leaks from the drain plug and the oil return flange as 1) drain plugs shouldn't ever leak and 2) I even used a gasket on the return flange. The other annoying leak is the coolant from the drain on my Corksport radiator. I see no way of fixing this without finding some sort of small, 1/8" rubber plug.

I'm just really scared I may have stripped my oil pan drain and that's where the leak is coming from. I wouldn't know how to fix that.
