What have you done to your P5 today?

well i have moogs that I put on my front no more than year ago so those should be coming off "easy". ill get new rear moogs. my buddy who is helping with the install told me i should prob get new tophats, so I may as well.
 
Right on. New top hats certainly wont hurt. I know HKpro5 sells his own adjustable rear endlinks for $50 if he has any left.
 
^ Sorry dont have any left. Unless I can get 10 orders. lol

Things are going good for the P5 right now, got the IM from Fishdonotbounce. Got it tapped for the bolts that cover the butterfly holes, and got it painted.

Turbo build is moving slowly but surely. lol
 
That is definitely laziness. I bet they eyeballed it and went meh no, or their concern was specs etc. I had issues with people not wanting to mess with coilover's due to a lack of familiarity, but I never even had to use boards. The Infiniti however needed a 2x4x12 to get on and off (breakn)

Rob, I'm just passing along the info. I never said P5's are super low, but I've had a hard time finding alignment shops here in Ohio that will even bother aligning my lowered P5. And I'm not even very low. I was just saying he should call ahead first. I've actually dropped my car off for an appointment only to have them call me 15mins later saying they can't do it. Mostly because of laziness on the shops behalf, I'm sure.

You've seen pics of my silver P5, right Rob? it's not even that low and they had to use boards to get it on their alignment rack at Conrads. Oh well, they get all my business now anyway.

In other news;
Got some goodies in the mail today. The engine dress up kit from CR3.

Anyone for a game of chess? heh-heh

Gonna pick up a P5 today! Yellow 2003!

Had a previous Mazda3 Hatchback, which was totaled in a (not a fault) blunder. Can't wait to get into another Mazda Hatchback!!!
 
I love P5's...but that car is going to feel like a slug to you compared to the 3. Just a warning.

yes, my 3 was a manual.. the P5 i'm picking up today will be an auto with manumatic option so i can already sense it being slow. But i've grown out of my manual days so this will be a perfect compromise between that :) Will post pictures soon!

Overall I'm very happy with it. The silver was just so boring and plain looking. This gives it that edgy, clean look newer cars have like my 3.
And the best part...it's completely reversible. I can peel it off without doing any damage unlike paint.
