What have you done to your P5 today?

haha i did the same around 8pm. when i was done, it was like i never did anything.

I hope you didn't have to work today. I got told to stay home and drink beer, right before I was done shoveling.


^^^ Yeah and is the beach. We usually shut down after 1-2inches. Seems we are putting on bigboy pants when 10inches comes at us.

I work at O'Connor Brewing Co. and most people couldn't get in to brew, so boss called it after he shoveled the driveway.
 
I didn't have to go to work but I worked from home. shoveled a little snow. just enough to get out. the mazda is chilling in my friends garage awaiting work lol

Gotta be a work at 7am tomorrow. So I am glad I did it all today, before it melted underneath. I also packed the snow all the way to the street, so its not 8" tall and frozen in the morning. Bunch of atvs were going around last night and a bunch of trucks in the neighbor hood packed a good amount of the hood so I might make it pretty easily to VA Blvd. then take it easy into norfolk. I should get a set of knobbies and use them on what ever car I am driving. could be fun.
 
Worked through the snow today changing the front ends out on the P5's...now back to having one nice one...

Also installed the 03.5 Audio Package, storage trays, and mat, a MSP woodgrain knob, and ordered a woodgrain NB Nardi...

What's this MSP woodgrain knob?

I have a racing beat and love it
very deep clean sound that isnt ricey or too much louder than stock. drone isnt bad either
much better than the ebay catback i had at first
 
Yeah ive heard the racing beat and it sounds amazing. Not to mention it looks stock but still cant find any good vids for the corksport on youtube
 
Started it (or tried to start it) for the first time in over a month. The -20C temps have taken a toll on the 6-year-old battery because it didn't even turn over. So I plugged it into my big-ass battery charger and after 5 minutes of charging (at 20A!) it turned over pretty well (with help of the charger) but still wouldn't start.

I figured it was a fuel issue, so used the "fuel pump prime" feature of the DLC to run some fresh gas through the lines. After a few minutes of that it started right up!

I can't wait until spring to get it back on the track, my DD ('99 tercel) isn't anywhere near as fun to drive as my gutted P5 :)
 
SR Motorsports. Nice piece, great price, good CS.

Oh and I washed my car Sunday evening before the SB, only for it to snow again this morning.

If you have this exahust...do you happen to have a video of what it sounds like?
 
I knew the previous owner put some polished Rota Slips on the car, and I picked it up with the stockers...went to get them balanced today only to find out the tire place won't touch them since they are to old...original tires from back in January of 2002...FTL...now have to get some new tires...they were a bit cracked anyways though, so not to bad of a change...
 
Got into a little fender bender leaving Wendy's tonight. Stopped to get my son dinner and when leaving the parking lot I found that the end of the drive was a sheet of ice and not slush as I first thought. Was able to stop in time and while waiting for traffic......BAM....looked in my rearview mirror and there was a green Honda trying to get in my hatch. An older guy with his son in the front seat (around my son's age), made sure they were both ok and then looked at the cars. Neither one had a scratch, dent or anything to show for the loud ass noise. Hatch opens and shuts, all seams are good, lights work...so I wished him well and we were on our way.

So....racing beat exhaust or cork sport?

I've heard both in person and they are both nice. RB has nice tone at WOT and subtle when off the throttle, whereas the CS is in your face and some feel too loud. Partly due to that with the CS you eliminate the second cat. You could always get a high flow cat and have it welded in to help some.

Yea im back to looking into these, I read up on SR motor sports and they have a very shady past. On their site they have a mazdaspeed camshafts listed but ive never seen them before anywhere else. Are these real?
 
Well, just called Racing beat and asked about tokico and if they had any idea when there will be more struts/shocks coming in. The guy told me that they have a rep over at tokico and they have heard nothing from them at all for the last few weeks. Seems like there is just a shortage of shocks for the proteges all around eh?

Most likely very low demand.
