What have you done to your P5 today?

[McBadass]

decided that saturday im going to finish installing my front struts, find the reason behind lack of brake pressure (assume air bubble), and then take my car to Breck to do some early season boarding!

If you priced out both options, the difference in cost would be negligible. Promise.

Now your making me look for forged internals for kldes, haha

 

[HKPRO5]

I was reading somewhere that you can used millenia-s rods because they are forged. Look on PT. May be a cheaper route

 

[McBadass]

is the P5 headlights different than other protege models?

 

[THE Phen]

Yeah. P5's have a seperate bulb for high beam and a seperate for low beam. Protege sedans, MP3 and MSP have a single bulb for high and low together, and the turn signal is on the outside, rather than the inside like the P5.

EDIT: Added pics.

Swapped out the first o2 sensor. Picked it up on ebay for $20 new.

Does it make a noticeable difference? Mine's still the original one and I'm debating replacing it.

 

[HKPRO5]

They usually don't last long once they start to go bad...you can test them if you have a multimeter.

 

[HKPRO5]

Yea already tested. No good. I was getting 13mpg. lol

I replaced the 3/4 shift fork in my trans and in the process broke the oil passage everyone says not to break. Now I won't get that part until Tuesday so even more time down driving the gas hog back and forth to work.

Why are you looking for new headlights? Is one (or both) of yours broken, or are the lenses just looking like ass? If its just the lenses, you can buy new sedan headlights, and put those on the P5 housing...
