What have you done to your P5 today?

[amsgator]

the driver has to be held so it doesnt spin right? and how hard does it need to be hit?

 

[Salmon_Rob]

no and hard

 

[amsgator]

well i got it off w/o the driver. did a trick w/ the old ac belt to keep it from movin. got it off w/ a breaker bar. guess i'll take the driver back to sears and tell them i want my money back. its craftsman and it did not satisfy me. i dont notice any significant difference in the timing though...idk i'll check again later today to see if i notice it

you have a link to the raidiator shroud?

 

[amsgator]

installed today:

Stock Pulley Weight: 5 lbs 0.6 oz
RR-Racing UDP Weight: 1 lb 6.4 oz

There are the weight specs for the two pulleys. RR-Racing's pulley weighs over 3 pounds LESS than the stock pulley, not to mention the smaller diameter of the pulley itself

Oil change... ordered RPF1s (thanks AUTORND, Rishie!!!), now I just have to order my tires. Probably some of the new Bridgestone RE-01R tires, they are massively grippy.

OOOOOooooo good choice! What size did you go with? I'm really torn between some 17x7.5 RPF1's (15 lbs w00t) or some 16x7 Gram Lites 57c's. Do you think 225/45R16's on a 16x7 wheel with a +46mm will work (I wouldn't mind rolling fenders). I really want something wider than 215 and unfortunately for 17" the next size up is 225/45 which is probably way to big (and heavy!).

 

[bazooka joe]

ya, that's what i'm doing...? the 2003.5 has the lip right?

nice score and welcome to the forums!

 

[bazooka joe]

well, i didn't do it, but someone at my work customized my drivers side fender, right on the lip....(pissed)

 

[Sveivo]

sure!

this was a really easy mod.

i have a mint blue grill so getting to the stock horn and replacing it may be easier that with a stock grill...? not sure, maybe bruce can chime in here?
anyway, i was able to reach in from the top and remove the bolt, disconnect the wire and pull out the stock horn in about 3 mins.

i used the bracket that come with the horn listed above and just turned in so the flat part would meet the frame, use the existing bolt hole, attached the ground to the stock bolt, attached the power lead to the + terminal...bolted it back on and i was done. i'll attache some pics tonight.
you need one wrench and about 30 mins start to finsh (even less)!!(cool) i love the sound as well!

Thanks a lot. This gives me a good idea of what I'm dealing with (rockon)
