Which end links are those ?

I forget honestly. It's been 7 Years (And Look At That Original Finish!!)

They are like the AWR ones, But Aluminum..

Before I installed them I out helicoils in.

Do you know how hard it is to find an "Off Thread" Helicoil Kit? :)
 
those rims look hot kyle...how's the retrofit coming?

yeah, some awesome guy hooked me up with those sweet wheels. retrofit SHOULD be done tomorrow. finally getting time to do it. i need a hand with it and the guy i had to help has been super busy with school stuff but we are good for tomorrow :D

Hey Reut1 What bearings did you buy? The first time around I went with the cheap stuff. Wasnt 3 months before I had to replace. I spent a bit more to go with the SKF. Its been running good since.

I dont recall if i went cheap but ill replace it with an SKF and a seal. i sealed the passenger side when it was done but not the drivers side. i did that one first and didnt know about the seal trick at that point :/ .
 
Finally got the engine bay/fuel pump wiring harness out of the P5 in one piece. Now to set up shop in the basement to combine the Probe GT harness and P5 harness. Progress is progress. :)
 
I find it disturbing that there aren't any 100% flush, rear wiper delete plugs that fit the P5. I want to get rid of mine before fall classes start, but everything protrudes just a little... unless I'm missing something on the interwebs.
 
I came up with a solution that works, and I have proof as to why it works. I've been working on this during my spare time this week, enjoy: http://nikosapi.org/wiki/index.php/Mazda_Protege_Fan_Detection_Circuit_Analysis

cheese i freakin love you!
i had nothing better to do today so i went ahead and bought 220 and 470 resistors and went at it!
it was faster and easier then when i tried just cleaning the connections!
and while i was there i moved the rca cable from my subwoofer a little bit and somehow that got rid of the alternator whine!
when i make my first million dollars, you my friend, will be getting a nice and shiny nickle!
 
Yeah, this is about as good as you're gonna get, buddy.

Yeeeaaaahhhhh shortly after that I found an old thread on here with your images. I found a true flush plug... but it was only 26mm. However, from that thread I have learned enough to stop searching for the P5 and start hunting for Civic Hatch fits. Kudos to you good sir!

In other news, I'm convincing a buddy to get a P5 to replace his beaten Slobalt.
 
After the long day out at the track test driving the new FR-S, I got home and re-clayed and waxed the car to perfection in preparation of the Matte White plastidip painting process. I plan to start the painting process this upcoming week!

Awesome, you should hopefully never have to worry about that again :)

I'll mirror the how-to on this site when I have some time...

Do it so I can follow it :)
 
This is the best picture I have of my read diffuser mounted on the car. I still need to round the edges and the back of the fins but I needed it out of the garage. It's painted in plastidip right now.

On a side note, anyone who has used plastidip did it peel up around the bolts when you tightened them?
