    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Ill see whats in my region. One of my mechanic friends kinda scared me off this a little bit mentioning how the motors skip timing easily and explode. One thing that has kept me into the bj platform Is how cheap and easy to work on they are. Maybe another p5 is coming down the pipe heh. Owned...

    thinking of picking one of these up for a work vehicle since im seeing so many of them under the $5000 cdn mark now. gonna park my msp for a while and start working on it and cant really afford to buy/run a truck. Might be driving from the island out to fraser valley more often so the mileage of...

    What have you done to your MSP today?

    Im partial to white wheels ha. been enjoying the week with a car that doesnt make weird rattle and clanky noises! and having a working lsd makes a real difference. almost forgot how onpoint the stock setup was cause so much of it was broken or just worn out heh. I do need a set of struts and...

    What have you done to your MSP today?

    i need to get a few of those ac lines as well. when it ook the engine out last year i think hanging the ac compressor tweaked them. yesterday i changed my 160km trans to a 250km donor trans with working lsd. no more grinding while driving around off power or clanking when stopped with clutch...

    Exhaust

    i like pope stuff but the exhaust is expensive with no cat or resonator. Id prob look local for a fabricator. Might even be cheaper than a magnaflow. Prob last longer too.

    you guys must have some nice roads... i think my sportlines are 4k front and almost too stiff for driving around town here and all the million potholes. my dampers are certainly done though. cant bring myself to spend the money on replacement dampers when adjustables can be had for a few hundred...

    What have you done to your MSP today?

    remove bumper, remove headlights, install headlights, replace bumper.. but for wiring, what i found easiest to do was to cut the stock harness and power my ballasts from it, with both grounded to the chassis. are the single or bixenon beams? when i say power the ballasts... use a multimeter to...

    What have you done to your MSP today?

    a couple grand to paint the car vs a couple grand for a whole other car.. i guess it depends the value of the originality of the car to you, or if you just want the color. you could also get it wrapped. the pearl orange vinyl is pretty close to spicy. maybe a little closer to the lambo orange...
