What have you done to your P5 today?

[magnumP5]

I'd have filled up three or four times; especially since my gas tank still doesn't like me putting in more than a gallon at a time

That's really weird, I think my little hiccup at the pump a few weeks back was the pump's fault. I thought most pumps just clicked off when they sensed splash-back or whatever. I have no idea what would be wrong with your car to make that happen.

By the way, thanks to you I am hell bent on some 16x7's now - although I'm going to try to run some 225/45's on a +46 mm wheel. Rolling fenders and negative camber ftw!

Can the stock alignment setup be set for a little more negative camber? Right now my rears are only about 0.5 deg but I'd like to go to at least 1 deg with these wheels.

I don't know, but camber bolts are cheap and the front won't be an issue. You can do the strut rotation thing up front too to get a little more negative camber.

Timing Belt

My brother came to visit and did my timing belt and water pump for me at 95Kmiles . It's just awesome to have a mechanic as brother! to bad he lives in Switzerland :/. He told me the belt looked really bad so I'm guessing the previous owner didn't do the 60k service. I bought and shipped him some headers as thank you for his 350Z.

OMG, it looked bad? I'm at 88K and I haven't done the checkup (nailbyt).

flash. still looks 6kish but not in person. wtf

maybe i just need a 4300 bulb in real life then it should be obvious

Yours look like 6K. I have 5K and it doesn't look blue at all in teh pics.

 

[Sveivo]

the instructions dont really help. basically i need to know how to tell which socket on the stock harness (the white cross looking thing) gets which plug from the kit. the socket is not marked pos/neg, yet the wires in the kit are.

Yeah, the instructions are pretty bad. Did you figure it out? It's one of those things...once you figure it out, it's with you for life. Like riding a bicycle

well those pics were w/o the flash.... hopefully tonight i will get true color pics and post them, as well as walk down the street and see how it looks from farther away.

Sounds like you are hooked up in that department (drive2). As long as you enjoy the car, the repair is worth it.

I know my car is not perfect and perhaps one day I will have to put serious money into it, but I enjoy the hell out of it every day. So it makes it worthwhile.

Here's to a speedy recovery (cheers) (Jones Soda )

Hehe, drove her like it was no one's business last night! I always forget how fun it is just to romp around like crazy for a while (I'm usually in conserve-gas mode). But man, one thing I noticed is how extra weight in the car immediately makes it fall on it's face. LOL, I had two other ppl in the P5 with the A/C on and it felt like I was back to N/A again...
