Hot damn I still love driving this car!

Me too! However this will likely be my last year daily driving it. Driveway is steep-ish with no run up at my new house and last week I got stuck trying to get out of my icy driveway. My wife's v6 rav4 went up like nothing was there on all season tires, but my p5 with new snow tires made it halfway, then gave up.
Hmmmm, seems like a good excuse to add a snail under the hood.

Seriously dude !!
Think about an LSD swap for your car.
They're great for winter driving !!

Don't give up on your P5 !!!
Sounds like more money than I should spend on my lovely rust bucket...
I'm thinking something from a wrecker for $100-$200.
Would make a nice summer project.
Ha, I call mine the same thing, although it's getting to be more and more brown than yellow. If I can make it 200k without having to scrap or Flinstone the car I'll be a happy camper. Only 40,000 miles to go!Just did ran some errands and realized ole yeller is almost at the 200k mark, woohoo it still runs [emoji23]

Sorry, somehow I missed seeing this earlier. I bought this kit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) No hog rings on the P5 seats, woohoo!! And 2 months in, I absolutely love it. Still need to do the passenger seat, but that's simply a matter of pulling it out of car now that the wiring is in place.where did you get the controller and heater? That looks like a cool project.
Sanctioned, or street race? That must've been loads of fun!Was running touge earlier today with some local car people, and the two quickest cars in the corners were an NA Miata and my P5, which the Miata couldn*t really pull away from even in the hairpins. Given that I have no additional chassis bracing, old suspension bushings, and old swaybar endlinks, I*m really impressed that I could grip almost as well as the NA in front of the pack.
Little bit of plow but I had it mostly under control.Sanctioned, or street race? That must've been loads of fun!
Did the car ever lose grip or plow?
