Any one on here from around Grand Rapids area?

I thought Lurch, Rally God of SCCA, lived around there. Not sure though.

I'm not actually in the Grand Rapids area but i'm a bit north. I am currently living in Baldwin which is about an hour and a half north of you. The only other MI pro owner I've found is in the detroit area. I've been looking for some others to meet sometime.

kakarot

Yeah I think you and I are the only 2 people on here in MI. But hey, if you're ever in the Detroit area come on by, grab a beer, and we can compare our rides.

protegeboy78

hey i'll be in warren this weekend visiting my family, are you far from there?

pantherES

Nope. You're not the only two. I live 15 minutes from GR in the Holland/Zeeland area.

Total count : 4

protegeboy78

cool, so where have you all been? i've posted before looking for some MI people. we should try and all get together sometime.

pantherES

Where have I been? Until 7/20/02, www.clubsi.com I had a 99 Civic Si.

Protegeboy, I do live pretty close to warren. Unfortunately I'll be in Mt. Plesant this weekend for my gf's sister's wedding.

protegeboy78

i am closer to mt pleasant than warren right now. oh and its next weekend i'll be in warren, got my weekends all messed up.

kakarot

Cool cool. Well, if ya feel the urge to hit some bars in the area next weekend, look me up! I'll probably be workin on my car that weekend too. I wanna paint my valve cover, find some clear bumper lights, and get my amp and subs put in. Obviously none of that is gettin done this weekend, so i'll be itching to work on my car that weekend.

Hold on guys, here's another Michigander. I live in Troy about 15 miles due north of central Detroit. It's kinda cool having a P5 in this area because there don't seem to be too many around. When I got mine in July of 2001 it was at least 6 months before I saw another one on the road! BTW, I may be selling my Mazdaspeed Sport exhaust. It's a great unit that's only been on the car a few weeks. We've been taking a lot of family trips and on the freeway it's a little loud inside the car. I'm kinda bummed because I like the way it sounds. Gotta think of family unity however.

Hey silver, you're not too far from me at all. I live in Oak Park near 9 and Coolidge. I think you're the first ever person I've seen here that's near me. Secondly, you're right. There are very few P5's in our area, although I have been noticing more in the past 2 months. Finally, how much are you asking for your exhaust? I may be interested.

silver_p5_owner

Kakarot,

That's cool. Before we moved to Troy we had a little house in Pleasant Ridge on Woodward Heights! Nice to know someone nearby. About the exhaust, I paid $205.00 for the part and shipping from Mazdastuff in Texas and hoping to not take more than about a $25.00 hit for my "experiment", so I'm thinking around $180.00. Let me know what you think. If you'd like to try it out maybe we could meet and you could give it a listen. It really does look and sound great and it stays centered in the rear cutout. I noticed you have the B&M shifter. I've been wanting to see how that feels, perhaps we could meet sometime?

Jeff M.

kakarot

Yeah I would be very interested in meeting and checking out eachothers cars. I just put my B&M in this past weekend and I love it. Shifts feel very tight and solid now. As for the exhaust, yours is just axle back, not cat-back, correct? And on a side note, that's funny you used to live in PR. I grew up in Troy near Adams and Square Lake. We switched directions, lol. Anyhow, e-mail me at punkrkr27@aol.com and perhaps we can arrange a meeting.
