What have you done to your P5 today?

[fishdonotbounce]

Alright so I decided this is the winner due to great price, great look, and overall greatness.

Tell me what you think....

I replaced the headlights...again(hand).

I only got 6 months out of this last set(shrug).

I know it is a known issue but it still sucks

Dik

Should buy yourself HID's for 110 from xenon expert. Never have to worry about it again.

I've had my car 6yrs 95k miles and replaced one headlight bulb!?

 

[mx-p5]

That's cause it has boost and is happy

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I've never had to replace ours.... had it for coming up on 3 years now...

 

[Prodigy]

I've had my stock bulbs since 2002.... they're pretty dim now.
I'd get HIDs (free from my work) but I'm planning selling the car sometime in the next 6 months.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

i'm avg 30mpg in traffic ... maybe its bc the intake is sticking out and getting more air than usual...

hmm... maybe going to design some sort of velocity stack sticking out of the headlight for race days... since i will have a set of headlights available...

Another rainy day free pass for my P5 to chill in the garage while I terrorize the city in the crazy truck. Already took out a sprinkler head or 2 & scared the coworker into striping his shorts demonstrating the pure boundarylessness of the truck. Other coworkers tried a prank on it yesterday. They put one of those big thick ass balloons over the tailpipe where it'll blow up when starting the car then make huge explosion when it pops. Didn't work, I saw it & let it get blown up a good bit then just punched the gas until the thing exploded super loud in the parking garage. LOL, it was louder than s***, louder than gunfire, made my ears ring. Laughed my ass of & called them & told them if they hurried they could beat the ambulance there to pick up the lady that was innocently walking by that fell out when it blew. (rlaugh) Asked them to do it everytime I drive the truck. They can't do it to the car because of the 4" diameter tip on the muffler, the truck's is only about 2.5.......fun stuff.

Stopped at the auto store on my way home and bought some oil and a filter for the upcoming oil change in addition to some wheel cleaner.

After dinner, I cleaned and mounted my new (to me anyway) 2006 MX-5 wheels. Once mounted I grabbed my co-pilot (read: son) and we went for a drive around the block including some speed bumps to check for any 'out of place' sounds and didn't notice one!

Here are some teaser pics until I can get the car washed this weekend.

very nice. Those rims go great with the P5.

Speaking of rims, I changed my mind slightly and will be ordering these in the next few days...

I'm absolutely in love with them and can't wait to get them mounted up.

 

[CTt3P5]

Thanks!

Your new choice is nice but I like the first one. I have always liked the split spoke look.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

damn it lol. Ok quick poll for anyone that reads it.

First ones that I posted or second ones?

 

[azlanb6b8]

true or false:

MSP headlights fit on a P5

 

[rednecks_r_us]

true or false:

MSP headlights fit on a P5

True but have to be rewired. MSP have one light for both high and low beams while the P5 is wired for two lights. one high and one low beam.

 

[BinoMP5]

so it's a direct bolt-on? all i need is the low beam because of my HiDs.... do i still have to rewire them?

 

[DeadGeneration]

I now live in Texas, and this area is very close to the border. Every time I ride into town the police look at whose driving it. It makes me paranoid but at the same time I am glad they do it, I hope if they ever see someone suspicious driving it they will pull it over before it gets across the border! (five-0)

there different bulb sizes, u need an h4 bulb for the MSP and the p5 low beam is an h7 so it wont fit, hence the re wiring part
