What have you done to your P5 today?

says everyone till they drive one

small, light weight, proper wheel drive, indestructable engine, 5spd. . . . you got a winning combination
 
Why all the mazda on mazda hate? Yeah FS-DEs aren't the best, but we all love proteges. And miatas are an effing blast, but some people care too much about image...

I have both and don't plan to change that.
 
put the rear door panel on again finally, its been off for like a good 2 months since i replaced the speaker back there lol

i read up on here that you had to trim the rain guard to fit 6.5" speakers in the back, i didnt have to trim s***, just threw the door panel back on, fits perfect and sounds aweessseoooommeeee
 
Same here, I didn't have to modify anything either. Maybe that's only required for speakers with a bigger depth.
 
Got my hands on some Mazda 3 wheels with decent tires for use for the summer because I'm too cheap to buy new tires for the Enkei-Harts. I'll probably slap them on tomorrow. at some point.
 
Did the power window mod! Almost not even worth posting about it was so easy. Next I'm doing the moonroof mod, possibly putting in a relay for one-touch operation.
 
replaced the rear struts with KYB's. Right rear was bent from my curb hit last fall and that explained why the car bounced like a low rider on the freeway. No rust in the strut wells either, thats a relief. For good measure I coated them with rubberized undercoating (masked off where the struts mount). Back to being a smooth roller.
 
idk where everybody gets this burning oil thing from
i was at 208k miles with no oil burning and my brother is at 180k with no oil burning
and we both dont drive like grandma's at all lol

I burn a qt or two between every change, and have since I bought the car with 58k on it. I'm guessing the first owner screwed something up...I think I have a bad valve seal to be honest. As long as I stay on top of it, it's not a big deal.
 
no you should sell it to me and not get it repainted.

it's already white, but it's busted up after hitting ice in West Virginia, just getting it cleaned back up so her car is super sexy again

As do I, i ain't hating, i have both and also plan on keeping it that way. The miata's a BLAST, but the P5 is still run yet can haul everything and everyone
 
Saturday, I drove up to Bazooka Joe's house for a NEPOC wrenching meet. Changed pads and rotors on all four corners along with a seized caliper with Reitrof's help.
