What have you done to your P5 today?

[CheeseHelmet]

Installed the new struts and mounts tonight, annnnnnnnnd it didn't solve wheel shimmy issue.

Still debating whether I should go to Toronto this weekend for Meeting of the Mazdas...

Installed the Corksport stubby antenna today. Protege5 isn't listed as a vehicle that it fits, but it does if anyone else is interested.

VERY good! (2thumbs)

 

[RicoP5]

indeed

 

[cholland]

Thanks guys. Its always nice hearing people like your car!

Now I just need to quit being lazy and readjust the Corksport mudflaps since mounting the diffuser made them sit funny.

 

[RicoP5]

^ i need to not be lazy and put mines on! lol

 

[cholland]

You talking mudflaps Rico? What brand if so?

 

[RicoP5]

Yes, and from http://www.rallyarmor.com/store/rally-mud-flaps-c-60.html

scored a brand new set of gt spec trailing arms

 

[cholland]

I went with the Corksport ones just because I felt like supporting a local Mazda performance company but since they were wade for the mazda3(I believe) it required a little more custom mounting. If I was to do it over again I probably would go with the rally armor ones just for ease of installation. But atleast it's unique being the only p5 with Corksport mudflaps to my knowledge

 

[RicoP5]

Didn't even know they sold some lol but you are right

 

[jdmdude07]

Cholland: those wheels are sexy. Kudos!

FINALLY got her washed and waxed. First time waxing... didn't turn out too bad IMO. I'll have pics tomorrow when the sun is nice and high.

 

[RoroP5]

Cholland, do you have any pics of your mud flaps?

 

[cholland]

I'll try and get some pics in the morning, but keep in mind the rears sit funny right now. And on the fronts you can barely see one of the mounting holes outside the fender. Considering they were made for a different car I think it turned out alright.

Finished replacing my clutch and remounted the tranny.
That was fun...
Not too bad though, If only it wasnt 90 degrees out

There's a metal pin (I guess you could call it that) that holds everything together. I used a small screwdriver and pushed it threw in order to get it out.

Awesome! Thank you SO much! Good thing I have an extra set of handles! Those are getting painted with my window switch trims. Thanks!

That's great, how long did it end up taking you?


EDIT: The P5 is going to Toronto tomorrow morning; looking forward to seeing some fancy Mazdas

No problem man...so far the plastidip is holding up

Sweet!

Lowered the front another 1/4" and off to get an alignment in a few! Finally happy with how the car sits. Photoshoot soon.
