Yeah bro we do one day

[MazdaSport20]

Also I installed my set of Evolution 8 Brembo's today (pics coming soon)

 

[justanothermp5]

Yea post those up for sure, and what u needed to do to get them to fit. I was lookin at buying a used set

 

[MazdaSport20]

Really all's what you need to is drem out the hub knuckle holes a bit add some 1/2 id washers to each stud behind the rotor (about 3 each) and put one washer between the caliper bolts and the knuckle and its very easy and simple, the stock brake line even bolts in

[BRIAN_MP5T]

Awesome!!!

Just a follow up on some basic math that was done..

The New 4th Gear will do 155MPH at 6500 RPM and 167 at 7000 RPM
The New 5th Gear will do 180MPH at 6500 RPM and 194 at 7000 RPM


In 5th Gear at 66 MPH, the engine will be turning 2200 RPM when just driving normally...
I will likely have to be in 4th all the time unless I am over 80 MPH.

4400 RPM at 120 MPH... Which can easily be sustained without any worry of damage to any engine part..

 

[justanothermp5]

dam, nice...what are you doing with the old gearset? Keeping it as a spare?

 

[silverzoom01lx]

Sorry to know about what happen to your p5, hope you get it fix soon lol.

I am only remaking 4 and 5

The gears are not compatible with the stock shaft..

Finished wiring in one sedan light, one more to go, hopefully tomorrow. It's amazing how much more light is put onto the road from a brand new headlight compared to the hazey stock one haha. Once I get the other sedan light, I'll have the passenger side p5 headlight up for sale. Also started modifying my hella 500ffs (Xmas present) to fit into the stock location. Now I just need a new bumper so I can mount my wrx lip also a Christmas present.

Mathmatically that would be awesome but will your P5 have the horsepowa and aero to reach 194mph? That's a pretty lofty goal, mate. But I hope she reaches it! When is that top speed day in Texas you're planning on?
