MP3 parts for P5, is it worth it?
I saw that this guy is parting out his totaled MP3.

Is it worth it to buy some to put on my P5? If so which ones?

just what parts do you want? you already have the same body kit....so you don't need that...
the only parts you could UPGRADE with would be the motor and the sound system....and the wheels/suspension.....take your pic

that thing looks like a bunch of crap.
I wouldnt trust that guy, he seems to not know which engine he is selling, a mp3 or a normal one, and i'd say a normal one- no mp3 cover, it came with an AUTO transmission....
Also thats only for the engine.

What's the difference with the engines? Isn't it just the ECU? Could I just switch the ECUs and get the xtra hp? I do like the wheels better. Are the springs stiffer? I know the MP3 rides a bit lower. Are they the same struts? Sorry to ask so many questions, but I really don't know the basic difference between the two. I know the MSP has stronger axels and the LSD. Does the MP3 have these? I know it has larger sway bars. The sound system sounds like a good idea.

YES the springs are a tad stiffer....as they are lowered...and
NO the struts are a tad different than the standard struts on the P5. they are made for the spring rates of the mp3 springs and reinforced for the bigger sway bars, however they do fit if you want to upgrade.
NO the MP3 did NOT come with LSD nor the larger axels of the MSP.
