the first thing that gave it away that it used to be mine, was tha Trapspeed.com sticker. I got it at HIN 03' the first time I seen a Scion XB, and wanted one.

[RaiderMP5]

I am sure no "paintless dent removal" guy coudl have fixed that. Must be all new panels. It is probably fine as a car though. Hey, it is a P5, they just kick ass!

does it have the side moldings on it still.. im to lazy to go back and look

[kitty_tinkers]

yes

[RicesP5]

i wonder if the new skins came wiht the moldings already on.. if not if i was the guy i wouldnta put them on.. and then took them off the other side .. much cleaner looking after they are deleated

[Padanky]

I took them off when I had it, and no they don't come on the skins.

so the person that re built it did the pain in the ass fairy a favor by putting them back on. lame

yup

[kitty_tinkers]

ok so i have a question again....so is it safe to say that if i want to get something but they dont have the P5 option i can just use the protege option?

[RaiderMP5]

It depends on the part. The engines are the same (except Mazdaspeed because of the turbo) so that is ok. I think my ebay intake was listed for proteges, but it fit my p5 perfectly.

ah awesome. thank you.

[altspace]

Just don't assume though, double check here and with a vendor. Things like suspension springs and exhaust I know are different.

[kitty_tinkers]

yeah but i dont plan on changing the suspention.

[Kansei]

yeah but i dont plan on changing the suspention.

Exhaust is different too because the P5 is shorter overall than the sedan. It's just different from the rear axle back though, the midpipe, header, and rest of the exhaust is the same as the sedan.

[aMaff]

Just don't assume though, double check here and with a vendor. Things like suspension springs and exhaust I know are different.
suspension's the same. Exhausts bolt right up but the sedan exhausts are about 4 inches too long and need to be shortened (usually between the can and the tip...)

[Padanky]

yeah but i dont plan on changing the suspention.

Have you had the rear tire come up on you yet? I used to do it all the time. Suspension is so tight that if you turn sharp enough the rear tire will lift. It would trip the people out in the car behind me.

[Padanky]

Everything from the rear axle forward is the same.

I installed the Mazdaspeed front and rear sway bars, Mazdaspeed rear cross-member (beefed up sway bar bushing mounts) , Mazdaspeed springs & struts, 156E bushings, Endlinks, all suspension was changed at 1100miles.

Have fun with it.

When I flipped it, only had around 16,500 miles. Some one fixed it and had enough time to put 10,000 miles on it in a year.

I don't even have 10,000 miles on my XB and I've had it since Dec 04'

that is the guy that i bought it from. i found it on auto trader. that is the add that i found it with.

Driver Air Bag; Air Conditioning; Alloy Wheels; Cruise Control; Compact Disc Player; Passenger Air Bag; Rear Window Defroster; AM/FM Stereo Cassette; Power Door Locks; Power Mirrors; Power Windows; Power Steering; Tinted Glass; Tilt Wheel;

no cassette unless i just cant find the shit, the button doesnt work for it either. i dont have a reason for it but you know. the guy also only told us that it was the passenger side that was wrecked. eh either way i still love the car. i mean the paint needs some work on it but other then that i love it.

[altspace]

Correction not all suspension springs are the same between sedan and P5. This is true for the Eibach Pro-Kit. After we installed my friends his rear end sat way too low. Most likely due to the differences in compression ratings and weights of distribution between the sedan and hatchback. Example: http://www.msprotege.com/vbb300/showthread.php?t=123625289

hurm

[aMaff]

did you actually check the ride heights? The problem a lot of drops run into (including the Racing Beat springs) is that the wheel well on the front is bigger than the wheel well on the rear, so for some reason it looks like the front is up in the air, but somone finally broke down and measured and the ride height was the same front to rear. A lot of the "for looks" springs (like the Eibachs for example) just have shorter springs up front to compensate for that look.

yeah thats what i meant.

[kitty_tinkers]

ok. lol i mean i dont know a lot but i have always wanted to know a lot. just no one wants to tollerate me being around while they are working on cars, with me asking questions and wanting to help and all that.

[RaiderMP5]

You will be surprised. With a strong community we have here, and in your area, we are all here to help. Heck, back when I got my intake, my wife wanted to do it, and I let her. I gave her the tools needed, and she did it all. She also installed my short shifter as I watched. And yes, she does hate my car, and all the stuff I have done to it. :)

[MP3Architect]

my ex girlfriend completely hates my car except when i let her work on it. I taught her all the basic stuff on it like changin oil, brakes, spark plugs, etc and now shes a pro at it.

[InFeXIoN]

Yea, i really didnt know shit either. Just READ EVERYTHING YOU CAN! cause i hate reading books and shit. But when im here on the forum i read just about everything. So read how-tos and all that shit. Thats how i learned to do my suspension and my sway and other things by myself. Just read everything.

[InFeXIoN]

ur unsure of doing anything to the car because you dont want to fuck anything up and i fully understand thats how i was until i did my first mod which was my suspension after that ur just like cool. Lets get you an exhaust which im getting one soon and ill get my neighbors impact out and well goto work.

ok

[altspace]

When it comes to your cars vital workings, I suggest never "winging" it. Bad things are sure to follow. Also, someones write up on the boards might not always be the correct way or even the full information needed to complete a job so be sure to follow up with others. Fifteen years of experience has taught me many good and bad things when you don't fully understand what you are getting into.

[kitty_tinkers]

well there are quite a few guys around me from the forums and im sure that if i needed them that they would come through for me. they are good guys.....well one of the scared the shit out of me on friday but thats ok....i wont mention any names but their initials are bacon....lol

[RicesP5]

i was joking about the winging it part. if you want to do somethign to your car just find someone that has done it already. and then have them tell you how to do the mod while your doing it. seems that would work. be like a hands on experiance.make shure the person that is instructing you has some what of a knowledge of cars
