It's been a while, guys. It troubles me that it has taken so long for me to update any of this, but even back in 2013 I was pointing to the inevitable. Life haha. It devoured everything related to the P5 pretty quickly, and for that I apologize.
But...I still have it, and it still runs. I'm a father of two boys now, and my wife and I need to upgrade size wise. We bought an almost new Acura TSX a few years ago, but both are pretty similar in size. Going to have to let the Mazda go, as the Acura over a decade newer haha.
I haven't been around in a while, obviously. I will make an official FS thread if I still can, but I have, at least what used to be, pretty sought after parts available. Consider this only a GI as a lot of things are currently installed and don't have time to gather uninstalled pics just yet. Going to start over this weekend if possible. Many of these things i'll let go for basically free other than shipping. If there are still users that want some things from the 'glory days' of high hopes for these cars, i'm more than willing to package them up for relatively little on top of shipping. Listing with price w/o shipping, every single thing is negotiable. If anyone has use for some of this stuff I could be talked down to free. To be honest this is all a little heartbreaking haha.
Unused/unboxed Exedy Stage 1 Clutch $35
Unused/unboxed Fidanza 7.5lb aluminum flywheel $35
Twiggy NA cams, used about 1000 miles from me, can't confirm previous owners but they looked brand new when purchased within this forum: $100 (and that's only to remove them; they're the only parts that are currently installed that are a bit of an undertaking to get to...Also have all the valve spacers installed to proper tolerance)
Custom adj. cam gears, forget name but they worked perfectly with the twiggy's after I shortened the cam bolts: Included with cams, or make an offer
Custom FS valve cover w/ timing belt cap cut out to allow adjustment of cam gears, painted matte black (and still looks alright): Included with cams and/or cam gears
Mazdaspeed factory 4-2-1 JDM SS header, was used on the Japanese only version of the 2001 MP3. $50 (This is one that's tough as it's by far the hardest to package up. I had to have a custom shortened mid pipe/second cat section made locally because this header is far longer than the standard US collector/primary cat reaches. Also needed an extension for the 2nd O2 sensor. The header developed a small crack, that was welded and fixed, because of a torn exhaust hanger. All of this would be included)
MP3 ECU: $35
Racing Beat Cat-Back, P5 specific short version: $25, can't guarantee the bolts will be in tact during removal, but the system looks great from underneath the car still
Tein SS suspension system: $50, and includes all spanner wrenches, caps, and even the unused stickers the packaging came with. Used for around 1k miles.
RR-Racing aluminum UD pulley: $15
Custom cold box intake: $25
I'd sell the entire car for $1000 including everything mentioned above, and including 5 Enkei 8-Spoke 17X8" wheels (front tires are very close to needing replacement), in case anyone is in the central PA area. I have been the single owner since Feb 2002 and it's hard to start ripping it apart if there is no interest. Pics available immediately, again just using this as a GI type thing. The car runs fine and has no noticeable daily issues other than the wild idle from those cams, and the A/C switch not working on speed 2 and 3 which I never got around to fixing. Hood is in rough shape from sun damage, and rear fenders have some rust at the bumper gap, but only bubbling. I've been working IT from home for years, so the car only was driven occasionally for day care and battery charging purposes. Most of the upgrades I made within this thread have had very little actual usage.
So anyway, hope everyone is doing well, and if there is any interest in this let me know. I'll gladly put together an official FS thread accordingly, with all the needed pics and time stamps, before anything gets moving.
