What have you done to your P5 today?

I have to agree that holagen doesn't compare to projector cut off. I love the cutoff that my GAGT's projectors have with HIDS. I wish I had the moooooolah to get your projectors

I was also comparing the factory cutoff to other reflector housings, there is obviously no comparison to a projector setup, but for what I paid i'm happy.
woot! guess ill get your magnaflow next month!
Thanks man. yeah i found that the speed6 would require running 17's minimum.
Yeah i read about the ebrake situation so i have eliminated the idea of the speed6 brakes. and i would do all 4. wouldnt make sense to do just two. thanks for the link!
waste of money is debatable. one could say moddin the protege is a waste of money. it depends on the goal whether it is a waste. The goal here is to fill out the wheels a bit more. the rotors look like dimes behind my wheels. i know some people that can get me the parts i need. just want to decide the most economical and practical route. wouldnt call it a waste, more of a project. All projects or hobbies could be deemed a waste of money from the one not doing. i am not trying to put a four piston set and crossdrilled slotted blah blah blah... not and idiot.
think all i asked was if it worked and if anyone had pics. well i know it works, anyone who has done it has pics with wheels on?

Cold air intake, VTCS removal, Mp3 ECU flash, and TURBO!
As for my own post, found this on craigslist.

It will work for my car correct?
Is it a good price?

Today I:
removed the headlight eyelids;
removed gunk/tape from headlights
secured amp fuse in a bracket
degreased engine bay
tightened alternator belt
Man the alternator belt was hella loose, and once tightened up, it has vastly improved performace, just like throwing a bigger belt on a supercharger!

Glad I could help! The rotational mass is the other part that makes me draw back from upgrading the brakes. The P5 needs every ounce of help it can get to feel zippy under acceleration, and adding bigger rotors deducts from that zip. Plus, P5 brakes are pretty strong to begin with.

bigger brakes arent necessary on the p5. except for the before mentioned reasons. when my brakes were brand new (new rotors and pads) they were so touchy and sticky. i felt like i could stop on a dime. only twice have i locked up my brakes on dry pavement. (have only needed to twice) they have plenty of grip.
if you go turbo... you wont need the mp3 ecu. maybe a msp ecu flash.

If you want a tight shift along with the short, yes.
