What have you done to your P5 today?

[Flash5]

Are you installing it yourself? If so, when and would you like another pair of hands? We could have a mini-header install meet and do both our cars.

I am doing it myself with a help of my friend (and his garage) but I will let you know I do it, not sure when itll be exactly since it is getting shipped to my house and i am up at school right now. But two weeks should be about right.

Brakes!

this picture gives me nightmares of what my rust bubble will become :'(

Makes me glad I live in the south, no salt or snow or rust!

I just put my ride up in MOTM for possible voting

Just waiting on a few last parts to show up before I can do final pics

Headlights, MSP pedals, and Mazda6 rear wiper

Wait, Jeff, you're just gonnna go for it and install the header?

DEW EEEETT!!!!

I have been going back and forth on selling it for awhile now. My thinking is that I will sell it and 6 months from now some stock part with 112k+ will rust out and then I'll be shopping around for another or for oem. So since I have it, I might as well install it....kinda like preventative maintenance. haha

Yeah... how 'bout that?

WTF?! That looks worse than when you were at the house.

Cool....lemme know and I would be willing to help as well if needed in return for some help with mine. Plus it would be cool to meet ya finally.

I ran into protegekid over the weekend and he said he is gonna try to get another kart meet together....just doesn't know when with his schedule.

Oh yeah dude. In the last month or two it's exploded and started falling apart, taking chunks with it. Really makes me sad.

 

[CTt3P5]

Now I understand the talk of scrapping her.....should have taken Rob's rear quarter panels at the picnic. lol

 

[mx-p5]

Have Chris ship you his! lol

 

[THE Phen]

Chris' are secretly as bad as mine. He's had his fixed twice and are starting to rust again.

 

[mx-p5]

Doh! I have a rust bubble on the front of my hood.......

 

[i12drivemyMP5]

I that a Bra you have on your P5? worst friggen thing you can have on a car, they flutter at highway speeds, if grit gets under that, you may as well drive down the highway with a DA sander running on the hood.Plus if you leave it on constantly you will definitely see two colours on your hood. The paint under the bra will be darker in colour. I once bought a car that had one on, that was the first thing I took off and hood was right down to the bare steel.

Pat.

Worse thing to me is having a freckle faced car from rock chips all uglylike. I know the dangers so.....it has excellent wax/clearcoat protection, it does not flap on the highway(even at 80+), bra gets taken off & cleaned regulary, garage at home+garage at work=99% of where UV could take a toll so that's not happening, & also have the MP3 windsplitter inside the bra that keeps the pressure off the gritty prone area at the bottom edge of the bumper so no sanding going on down there either. I know it looks worse with it on but it looks much better with it off than if it wasn't there at all due to the 80 miles of highway speed pelting it would be taking otherwise. Thanks for concern tho............
