Yeah, Kev - I'm waiting to see if you'll post on here that you're considering dropping a Honda motor in a P5! Instant flame war

It's been awhile since I've last posted, but suspension is sorted out for the most part. Here's a pic of the rear with the new subframe, Megan Racing lateral links and Racing Beat sway bar. I'm waiting on my bushings to come in so I can install the front Racing Beat bar...more updates to come...

Shiny on top, rusty doughnut underneath!

Thanks for the praise, still trying to sort the suspension/handling out, next we can move onto getting better n/a performance out of it!

Congrats man, keep on giving me ideas!

Looking good, giving me some ideas on what i wanna do next!

Weeks of delays and setbacks have finally paid off...for the most part. I've gone from this: to this: ...and I'm still not done working the bugs out of it! This has been one of the most stressful builds I've ever encountered, but one does not buy and mod a Mazda because it's easy...

Ok, maybe just one pic! Here she is last week before the suspension mods were installed:

Hey guys, just getting in from my mechanics - a lot of updates to report on but I'll wait until tomorrow to post as it's late now. Stay tuned! (cabpatch)

I'm excited for you as well!

Mine has begun squealing lately too, just replaced the timing belt so maybe an adjustment is needed.

Most definitely! I'm already talking to guys at bodyshops about pricing/options...what I'm getting back is: "If you want it fast and good, it won't be cheap. If you want it cheap and fast, it won't be good. If you want it good and cheap, it won't be fast."

I've got the same setup on my '08 Maxima with KYB GR-2's and H&R sport springs, I've had no issues. It handles every corner and begs for more! I'm not looking to slam it, just a slight drop and maintain a nice ride while giving it better than normal handling.

Patience, patience - you think you're anxious?! I'm bursting over here! lol

We took a piece of the metal mounting that came with it, secured it with a rubber grommet and it sits just right with just enough clearance from everything. I'll try and post some clearer pics shortly.

Not to jack the thread, but quick question AP, what shop do you take your car to up there in VA? There's a garage at Landmark shopping center (used to be a Goodyear place), the mechanics there were the only guys I trusted not to rip me off!

No joke, tried giving dude some business, called that shop, left messages and never got replies. Tried ordering an exhaust kit and ending up getting a refund because "unable to complete this sale at this time, i apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you"

A slow day, not much to do...so on goes the short ram intake... end links and trailing arms are finally here... Now only if my friggin' brakes would finally come!!(pissed)

I ordered an intake from INSYS, not a bad price but if I'm not happy with it I'll just go with the Injen or AEM. We'll find out how it performs when it comes in Friday (nailbyt)

Update Ok, the following parts are here in the garage: H&R Sport Springs KYB GR-2 shocks 17" Enkei M52 205/45R Kumho ECSTA Progress Technology rear sway bar AWR F&R adjustable end links MOOG F&R strut mounts AWR Trailing arms Racing Beat cat-back exhaust system H&R Trak+ wheel spacers The...
