Going to try to keep the spare. There is a decent amount of room with the spare flipped face up so it sits down in the well.
I am going to use my current Eclipse XA1000 (500W RMS at 2ohm)
What have you done to your P5 today?

washed, and took some pics, i should had waxed her.
dude that thing is sweet! the blue with the black trim and red calipers is awesome
question....how hard was it to install the harness bar?
thanks man
really it wasnt too bad, how ever i ordered the wrong width one, so i ended up having to cut the trim on my b pillar to fit it, witch i didnt really wanna do. i ordered a welded one that is built for a MR2 it measure 46" i think hole to hole, i think if i had gotten a 44" it would have fit much better, a little lower also witch is better if you plan to run on a harness on it. i currently just intend to use mine more for additional chassis stiffness.
somewhere in the how to section i think someone did a write up on it.

im sorry i said the wrong thing a 48" would be better than the 46"
i thought about using that one too, but figured that the hinges in it that allow it to adjust would also allow it flex basically completely doing away with any stiffness that would come out of it. i would honestly stay away from ones with hinges, if i had the $$$ i would had gone with sparco they make one for the p5

yeah you're probably right about the hinges. would a 48" would just bolt?

drove it, and popped a CEL, went to read it, and found out i had 3 ****** codes
02 sensor No activity
Bank 1 too lean
and Bank 1 too lean pending code
this doesnt really make sense to me, because the car drives fine, just when i do a warm start it'll go lean, and then back to normal after like 10 secs
and in boost the car still does what its supposed to, 12-11 AFR's...so i just cleared them, ill see if it comes back

I had "bank 1 too lean" when I didn't have my IM bolted down tight enough. Try cranking those bolts down. The car ran just fine too and it would pop on like once a week. Then I just cranked down the IM bolts really tightly and I've been golden ever since. I removed my IM for the VTCS removal and apparently didn't tighten them enough. Good luck, mate.
Just GT25 setup, correct?

Car is back to 4x4 mode and the rear mount was swapped to a new beck and arnley one. OMG the ride is sooooo smooth and no more vibes!! haha.
Is anyone trying to get rid of their stock wheels? I'm looking to put the car completely back to stock and I'm looking for stockies as cheap as possible.

Picked up a set of winter rims 
They're 14x6 +45 from a second generation MX-6. I'm considering painting them...
