Installed the roof rack deletes, Tokico blues, Tein springs and a set of Racing Hart wheels on the P5 a couple weeks ago. Currently painting the headlights black. Need to swap the MSP rear subframe and sway bar then get it aligned.
Once I have an intercooler setup decided on I can go ahead with the turbo install. I have the stock MSP intercooler and rad, but need to find a hot pipe. Or I can order an eBay FMIC kit and go that route, but I don't want to negatively impact my AC which is what happened when I put FMICs on my MSPs.

Throwback to the nice summer days..
The P5’s been sitting a lot lately, between work and the cold weather, I haven’t done much. Put the winter wheels/tires on......that’s about it

Took the hks axleback off and installed a new walker quiet flow muffler on there. Its super quiet.
Forgot to report back about the starting issue I had few weeks ago. Thought it was the starter. Tried a bunch of different things making it more complicated that it needed to be. Turns out it was ground wire from the 1sty ground kit I installed back in 2006. Didn't even think that would render the car inoperable. It was not connecting completely so my starting was intermittent. Reconnected it and it's been all good ever since. Didn't even think to check the simple things. So I guess I learned my lesson to really check the simple stuff even if you think it's ok.
Thanks to pcb for the help. Always very helpful.

Not what I have done to my P5, but this relates to what I plan to do.
Can someone please post a photo of the P5's 'Cruise' light location on the cluster?
Australian P5's (SP20's) didn't have cruise from factory. I'm working on something that could work, and want to try make it look factory.
Oh, did the light change colours when On, to when Engaged?

Well, I broke the law and took a picture for you.
The "cruise" light only comes on when it is engaged.
There is no indicator (or different color light) when the main switch is turned on.
I leave mine on all the time and only accidentally turn off the main switch, which leaves me wondering why the cruise control won't engage.
The cruise control only engages when the speed is above 40 km/h.

I got a flashing airbag light last night. Today I tore down the column and worked out the problem due to my clockspring.
Pulled clockspring from parts car.
Will install properly heh. ( This time ).

And yes,.. I was listening to Judas Priest... lol
Ah so today I cleaned butts out of my cupholder. Pictures or it didn't happen.... Wtf.

No the "mazdaspeed" doesn't light up.I'm on the hunt for one of these...
How much do they usually sell for? High Km's don't matter.
And is the 'MAZDASPEED' on the tacho the only difference to a standard P5 cluster?
Does the 'MAZDASPEED' light up at night with the rest?
