What have you done to your P5 today?

[THE Phen]

Drove mine today. Got the Mazda3 wheels on for temporary summer duty.

 

[bafilio1]

Installed my 6000k HID's that I have just had sitting in the basement from my saturn vue. I was waiting on my different headlights to get here so I could install them.

Drove mine to work in the rain.

Stopping by the tire shop tonight to pick up the wife's former winter wheels/tires that I dropped off Friday to get dismounted in hopes of making it easier to sell them.

Anyone know the diameter/thickness of the front sway bar? I want to order new bushings for it soon.

Just upgrade to the RB.

Just upgrade to the RB.

no. that will make you plow, even with an awr rear sway bar. it's too much

 

[HKPRO5]

Yea plus its probably a whole lot easier (and cheaper) to change the bushing than to get the RB. Also I love how the car feels right now and I dont really want to change that.

Same here, I'm wanting some Energy Suspension ones.

EDIT: Do we have the same front sway bar as the MP3's?

 

[Matt V]

The front sway bar appears to be 25mm (if we have the same bar as MP3/MSP).

you do not have the same bar. its 23 iirc

 

[Matt V]

If it is indeed 23mm then this is what we need:

msp/mp3s have racing beat front sways, I don't think they'd be the same diameter as stock protege ones.

 

[ucMP3]

MSP has the same swaybars as MP3. RacingBeat, 25mm front, 20mm rear. No idea was P5 has, but it's not the RB setup.

Nothing wrong with a little understeer.

 

[Matt V]

23mm sounds right but I don't know. I measured with a tool and it gave me .44 inches but that only equals 10.xx MM so that's not right. Maybe I'm not using the right formula for diameter. I used this to measure (minus the gauge).

I would say it's 22 or 23mm.

23mm sounds familiar to me.

Why do you need a formula for diameter? Measure with that caliper in the middle of the bar, and that's the diameter...

Drove to Toysrus over lunch to buy the Legos Police HQ for the boy's upcoming bday.

Also filled the tank on the way back. Was a little disappointed in the numbers. I had hoped to see some kind of improvement since replacing the seized caliper....
