What have you done to your P5 today?

[CTt3P5]

so I should run without brakes? no brakes at all?

This would give you some weight savings but might be a b**** getting everything installed for the ride home.

If he had heavy duty brakes, he could rip hard turns by stomping on it

i'll be looking for a Protege fog switch if anyone can keep an eye out for me or if anyone has one not using.

 

[Lewis7789]

You just need the switch? I've got one I can ship.

 

[mx-p5]

well, switch and HOPEFULLY the connector from behind the dash, but i figure Fatti might have one

Lemme know what you want for it

 

[Lewis7789]

I don't have fogs anymore but everything is still there. I can pull the connector and switch and ship it to you tomorrow via USPS so just pay for the shipping/box at $6.00. But I don't want to take away from Fatti's service if you would rather deal with his business. No pressure. But if you want mine PM me and I'll send you my PayPal addy.

went for a drive tonight

You have to use the e-brake? Big rear sway, go in hot and lift. Instant oversteer.

You don't even need a big sway bar

This weekend I was driving the rustbucket much too fast on one of those 270 degree onramps when I realized the radius of the turn was quickly getting smaller. My stupid reflex was to lift (at ~5k RPM) which turned my massive understeer into oversteer. Luckily I was able to get it back under control and continue on my way.

Scary, but better than staying inside on a rainy evening

[Lewis7789]

JT, when are you going to get some video of the SC already, man? I gotta twist your arm and Cres's arm for video. haha

and why video? cant i just claim things without showing people?

Evan ill get you videos once it dries up and i have some time.

 

[Lewis7789]

Because pics are cool but videos are even better. And I live the sound of boosted cars.

i do have the mazda6 bbk that im selling off my beloved totaled p5. have less than 1k on rotors, pads and calipers that I bought all brand new.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

Rain is a b****

 

[jdmdude07]

lolz, so? I have all seasons hahaha. It's nice to know the limits of grip for safety purposes. May come in handy when someone cuts you off and slams on their brakes

My Proxes TPTs are terrible in this situation.

 

[mx-p5]

Testing out the DRL in the turn signal area for Callie's car. She's not big on the whole "Halo" thing but i want a proper DRL

It's a morimoto 70mm XB LED halo that will run as a DRL but alternate off when the turn signal blinks

thoughts/opinions?

I had those way back in the day! Don't use them in snow. Gets sketchy.

Hell, it was sketchy this morning when I took her in for the window... and it was only DAMP!!!

thoughts/opinions?

It looks good, but I think the small diameter takes away the halo effect and it blends too much. Maybe it's just the picture. Either way, I like it!

 

[bgibb68]

What sensor monitors the egr? Im on second known good egr still throwing p0401....but only when driving below 3000 rpm.?.?.
