kinda curious as to how the winter climate make's the exhaust louder never heard of it.My mazdaspeed sounds o so nice.

Tuned the suspension and did some minor fixes that have been bugging me for months. Finally had time to get under the car. Also washed

Chrizzle fo Shizzle

AuxMod - Installed, kinda ghetto, temporary, waiting on more parts...

Celica Clear bumper lights - Installed, kinda like them, kinda don't, couldn't get the "door trim" to look right, so, for now they are installed without it and are not a "perfect" fit. Hope to find a better solution, the "trim" I got at wamalart wasn't very flexible, even with cutting relief's in the back, the front still looked goofy.

Forgot my cleaning "bag" at the house, the dash is still furry...

well iono if you've noticed but if the drone is annoying the hell outta ya at 35mph in 5th gear....then there's definitely something that has to do with the weather. because i never hear drone unless im driving at higher speeds and this is the second winter ive had this exhaust, and if weather didnt effect it, then i think id be running OE all year long.
(no exhaust leak i took a test drive after i put on the oem on the highway (80mph) and it was quiet. the only thing i heard was my AEM SRI whistling.

Can the P5 headlights be re-aimed?

 

[MazdaSpeeder]

Yes...there is a phillips screw on the back of each headlight that adjusts the low beams vertically.

 

[DeadGeneration]

I also found a thread that displays a 10mm nut but if you adjust that it moves both high and low beam. Correct?

All I know is I have my car lowered and I can only see like 10ft in front of my car lol I need to raise them.

is 215 50 16 too wide for the stock '03 P5 wheels? I see people running them but I have 205's and they look hella wider than the wheel already. Fixed the passenger MM( nut fell off the bolt.

Decided ill leave the MZ6 wheels for sale / trade for awhile longer.

Why would you drive 35 mph in 5th gear?

 

[CharlyGordon]

Today I replaced both drive belts. They failed Friday night on my way home from the office holiday party -lost my power steering just as I was turning out of the parking lot LoL. The belt that works the water pump totally disintegrated while the one that works the power steering just kinda fell off. Next on the list is replacement of my hood release cable. Anyone have any idea how difficult that is? It looks pretty straight forward in the service manual, but then again you never know.

nothing wrong with driving in 5th at that speed? its not hesitating or stumbling.....i can drive it at 4th but speeds jump constantly from 35-45 where i drive in Dallas so i stick in 5th....

 

[hornsfan10609]

I guess I drive in 5th most of the time too, but usually that's above 45 mph.

i dropped the p5 off at the inspection station. hopefully everything passes and it can be on to the new owner! that'd kick ass.

not me....i drive through the city all the time..and its about a good 20miles through towns..and all the limits are changing but its all good i avg. 32-34mpg in the summer and now im gettin crappy 28-30mpg all city driving.

 

[thorracing271]

filled up the other day and ended up gettin 25mpg for that tank. I do maybe 10 miles of freeway driving per tank, everything else is orange county city driving. So I think this is fairly good correct?

 

[reut1]

gotta get them more secure tomorrow since they bounce and make sound now
