lol...thanks guys, figured I'd have some fun with them this year and will probably change up the color for next year.

Josh, a little tightening as mentioned should work for ya. I'm going to adjust mine today. No squeals at all the entire 300 mile trip home with the defroster running the entire time. Fired the car up last night and it was ear piercing for what seemed like an eternity.

Do eeeeeeeetttttt! lol Hmmmm, you could go yellow, Kyle has that green/yellow thang but you could use a 'sun' yellow. With the silver though you have more options that will look good...I think purple would look great!

 

[bazooka joe]

thats funny cause i saw more green the yellow...but my eyes are tired...anyway, purple sounds awesome!

Took the racks off for the winter. Then the girlfriend asked where we'll put the skis... damn.

My wub-wub-wub sound has gotten progressively louder over the past few days, so tonight I tried the spare on the rear (both sides). It appears to have been coming from the left-rear tire which happens to have a small lump in the sidewall.

Hopefully it is the tires, it'll be a good excuse to get new ones next summer. I'll ride around on the donut this week and if the sound is actually gone I'll swap the winter tires on this weekend.

Bubbles in the tire will do it every time... Change em out for winters now. I think my P5 has been the first ever car I've owned that I didn't get a bubble in atleast one. Ahhhhhh old Hyundai Pony where are you know!

 

[ProjectBlack]

Getting some pretty major pinging again. Going to swap from V-Powers back to the Irridiums and see if I can extend my intake a bit further out for colder air.

It wants the power, but is not getting it!! I tried octane booster and I think it helped a bit, but not buying it for every tank...

Any good ideas??

I got my orders from mazdaonlineparts and CorkSport today! Just put a new lower front grill, new dipstick, cowl bolt cover, and tribute washer nozzles from MOP on.... and put on my new CorkSport exhaust hangers. Now my new to me/used racing beat axle back doesn't buzz against my rear bumper.

Happy it all worked out and shipping on both orders were super fast! Oil change tomorrow maybe, but a fresh tank of gas for now.

Saw a Mexican P5 in the train station parking lot today:

 

[mexicansoljah81]

got the new tires from Tirerack, 215/35r18's, getting those slapped on the rx8 rims. From what i saw those things look nice and definitely sweeter looking than the 16 stock wheels. Again, i might have mentioned this already, got the HID conversion kit added too, next is gutting interior with my 12 year old son, to see where this water leak is coming from around the back seats. i will keep you posted and will through some pics as soon as i get my car....

 

[tougefox]

Nothing but i started moving into my new shop today! WOOT

 

[CTt3P5]

Made an appt to drop her off Monday night to get the hole in the PS rear qtr panel fixed.

Yo, touge fox, what are your camber specs? Im running 205/45's with -2.5 degrees in the rear and -2 up front, and I rub like ****** crazy, so you have to rub....right?

 

[tougefox]

Just take them off.







Honestly i have no clue. There are camber bolts in the back and none up front. Being me moving shops and all and not being able to afford an alignment machine, i havent had time to get it aligned. Usually my front camber is 1.0 degree up front. My fenders are rolled and slightly pulled tho, and im running 215/45. I rub on full lock and rarely on bumps. You shouldnt be rubbing at all considering you have full coilovers. Are your fenders rolled? My day to day driving it rubs very little.

Here is my p5 with the rx8 rims and all season kumho tires.

Lol, well Im sitting pretty much right on the tires, so thats why Im rubbing I suppose, the rear rubs on big bumps only, and the front rubs on pretty much everything, and everytime I turn. My fenders arent technically rolled, because I cant fit the ******* roller. Since I have coils, my suspension doesnt droop enough to fit the roller....I even modified my roller to try to fit it, but its still too long when the roller is all the way down, if that makes sense. I need to figure out a way to drop the suspension without ******* up my alignment....I tore up the alignment rack enough the first time trying to get on lol

 

[tougefox]

Just raise the coilovers. Fixed lol
