Anyone think something like this would be neat in a P5? I have a P5 and a SHO...now all I need is you guys to each send me $1500 to finance the project. :cheers:

Holy crap! Thats crazy....Its pretty kool but the only thing is the hood is a little excessive, but who cares! lol

Theirs a thread at msprotege about dropping in any type of V6 into the P5 and that engine was brought up!

what a waste. I know you love your SHO's though.

Roddimus Prime August-8th-2005 12:13 AM

well, i wouldn't consider having a one-of-kind 12's street car a waste when you can do it all for under $25K..

the hood is excessive but probably needed to hold the front end down at speed...all that weight in the rear+ high speed = shakey at 160mph.

Didn't the SHOs have a tranny problem?

Roddimus Prime August-8th-2005 10:25 AM

yeah, the same trannys from the proteges! nah. my sho tranny blew 3 times because I was running a 100hp dry shot on drag radials on the stock differential...the exact same problem the modified proteges are having....280lb-ft and BOOM.

Neat idea....hideous display of ricy-ness IMO. I absolutely hate that widebody kit. It makes me want to vomit out my eyes.


I had some people ask me if I like this body kit on the Mazda 3 that was at the show this weekend. I told them that as a general rule, I don't like body kits. They just looked at me like I was insane. But you know us, we have that 351w-powered stock looking fOCUS :rolleyes:

Roddimus Prime August-8th-2005 10:44 AM

hahaha, stock mazda bodykits are the best on the market. Nothing beat a stock mazda for looks.

I was shopping for a kit for the FC and I don't think I've seen one I think would be worth the money. Some nice ones out there but the stock car looks great...just needs wheels and a drop.

that would be insane.....i think you should do it:D

Sorry, but your ford don't look nothing like a stock car LOL. I think it might be that REAR DIF that gives it away. :bt:
