Picked up this Greddy Evo 2 cat back for $200 today. (dance)

 

[fishdonotbounce]

And who did you assassinate to get that price?

 

[SpeedToBleed]

haha no one. I'm actually on the road for work, and found it on craigslist just outside of Phoenix. The guy said it has about 3 months of use on it. Only thing is I may not be home for another month or so, so not sure when I'll actually get to install it.

picked up 2 sparco speeds for 90 bucks today =)

ones going in the p5 and one in the FC. i have to many different sized passengers to have both in my p5.

I come here often just to see whats up with the P5 scene!

the way things are going, there wont be much of one soon...

everyone is selling them...

 

[mx-p5]

SHOULD be getting it today.....

and finding out what motor they put in. Mechanic says it's got a JDM motor in now, so, not sure if it's an FS-ZE or not

Someone buy my coilovers

 

[mx-p5]

paying for a front end alignment after the steeringwheel is crooked after the mechanic assembled the front end

 

[imola.zhp]

Just listed mine on Craigslist, again, lower price though...

I love the car, but I'm ready for it to be gone. Sure, I'm more apt to get in trouble with the law daily driving my BMW, but I'm so close to pay-off I can smell it. Whatever I get out of the P5 will help accomplish that goal even quicker.

Just switched to Maxlife Blend at this oil change, and replaced the ZRF5F-11s with a new set. It was past time...the old ones were worn and done. She idles much smoother and softer now. Just in time for winter!

 

[EGTT91]

stared @ the engine bay for about 20mins debating on building/boosting the FS , or KL swap

 

[xDJ DUBx]

hahahahaha, thats exactly what I did yesterday, except I know I'm gonna boost. I just stood and looked at it all over, for a half hour or so, seeing where everything was gonna go like the oil and water lines. I've never had so much interest just by looking at the motor before.

 

[MazdaSpeeder]

My buddy was looking at my engine bay today, and said "there's plenty of room for a turbo in there...you should do that. You can use the spare turbo I have from my Cummins Dodge Ram!" Tempting...(glare) lol!

 

[xDJ DUBx]

haha, could you really use a dodge truck turbo though???

I feel the sameway although mine is already boosted just feels slow even at like 7-8 psi and some supporting mods. but built block is pricey and just wondering even if its worth it or just get a faster car. I love my MAZDA though

 

[mx-p5]

So, drove away with the car, went to shift into first and pretty much hit my knuckles on the a/c knobs, went to 2nd but 2nd was where first used to be. Then abs light came on the e-brake light wouldn't go off. They also bent the brake shield so it gave a crazy scream at about 40.

Oh, and they didn't reconnect my gauges.

So I turned around and dropped the keys off and we drove off again.

Was told I would have the car back last Friday.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Fcuking shops.

 

[Matt V]

What happened to your car in the first place?

 

[mx-p5]

oh, and an even cooler thing, as they put the car back up in the air to find out where the grinding noise was coming from, they started hitting the plastic under trays and 2 nuts fell out.

The yong kid picked em up and kinda put em in his pocket. I asked where they went and he said i don't need em with the new motor and walked off.......


oh, and i had to pay for an alignment cause they took the subframe apart to drop the motor out the bottom
