What have you done to your P5 today?

[Matt V]

Has anyone replaced their A/C compressor before? I have a feeling I've got a lot of hard work ahead of me.

[Matt V]

I think we have an annual Texas meet planned for Dallas in February or something?

Well then I may have to make it out to dallas

I am so down for the meet but I rarely have time off to drive that far. The roads around Austin are pretty badass if we wanted to organize a central meet.

I would love to do austin instead and a huuuuuge photo shoot

[Matt V]

How the hell did you blow another forged motor? Are you at 100% full throttle all the time?

Whaa? I've never heard of this, I guess I have to be there so all the other Texas people have to go too.


On a completely unrelated note, check out these rims. They are 07-08 Acura TL Type S rims, 5.114.3, 17x8, +45 offset. Does anybody know if these will fit, they are pretty sharp looking rims. I'm not one for mixing brands but if I could figure out a way to get the acura symbol off of the center cap I bet these rims would look sick on a P5. I know that a lot of Chevy truck guys run Nissan titan rims so maybe this isn't such a bad idea.

Apparently they don't fit, I wanted to get some and everyone suggested they wouldn't work. I would've loved to try them though.

I would meet the guy locally and give them a test fit.

450 ain't bad but if I had that much money I would have bought these MX-5 wheels already.

I just like the look of them and the color and I think they are the right offset and size. An 8 inch wheel would probably help this car to handle even better.

 

[Matt V]

A P5 would look awesome with those, I have yet to see anyone put them on, only on an MSP.

17x8 +45 would fit no problem

I have seen them on MSPs, regular protege sedans, a Mazda 6 and on 06-08 MX-5s and they are my favorite factory rim that doesn't come on a Mazdaspeed, I like them better than MP3 wheels.

Blah....why mazda3 wheels? Go more baller.

The TL wheels or whatever are nice but I want something with no lip and a lot of dish. (Face caves in)

Received MP3 Intake manifold and ordered JDP-style urethane lip

i have always loved those TL wheels
