What have you done to your P5 today?

Mp5

G28RS, LOG Manifold, TIAL Wastegate, Precision FMIC, AEM Wideband, MPI Tuner, Aluminum 2.5" charge pipes, ROX Tuner wheels, Megan Racing suspension, ZEX FMIC nitrous setup + fittings (Custom fabricated in a hide-a-way box), Infinity sound system, carbon fiber interior, and more to come :)

..oh and a backup motor in my garage (rlaugh)
 
Well yesterday...

Pulled the turbo which means removing:

Radiator
Intake
Exhaust Manifold
S Pipe
Oil and Coolant

So now my car sits in my parent's driveway immobile for an undetermined time - YAY! I actually just got back from the shipping place - my wee little turbo is going to MPi for some workin'!

Nice, I guess :) If and when my turbo goes, it is being replaced by either a mutt like yours will be or a disco potato. And I'm getting rid of the f'n cast iron manifold. I hate installing that thing because weighs a ton :(

pretty nice race. You race it, or just for show?

Yeah the entire time I was working yesterday that's all I could think of. Unfortunately, unlike everyone else I think the Thunder manifold is just hideous. I'll hold out for another one or just one custom made down the road. Today I ordered the ATP wastegate - I figured I had mine off so why not change it now before it causes a problem. Man I can't wait to get my turbo back. New(er) turbo, new wastegate and AFC to install. She's gonna feel like a whole new animal...
 
Turbo MP5

I'm going to bring it to the track after i get my injectors and a retune. It's a show car, but i like to get on it every now and then (wink)

It should be sweet. Yeah I don't like the Thunder's crooked look. Focus made some nice custom ones but I'm not sure if he still is or not.
 
went kayaking with her, and zoomed back home to realize i'm like 400 miles overdue for an oil change

I like Brian MP5T's manifold...
 
After 4.5 years of having my car I finally came up with a name for my car.


" Hunter "

In June I took out my lower grill, paint on the bumper, windspliter & air dam under the car while hitting a large Jack rabbit on Hwy 60.

Saturday night on the way home from Lake Havasu City I dodged a porquapine at 70 mph. ran over a already dead deer and hit a skunk dead on.

All this with in a 50 mile stretch of Hwy 89 between I-40 and Prescott.
 
lol man I just realized when you said "4.5 years". My car just hit the 5th year bday mark a few days ago but I have only had it for less then 2.5 years. Man.

Gunna install stock sway bar back onto the car and adjust my hangers on the mid pipe slightly, then I am looking to get a dyno and maybe some 1/4th mile runs shortly.
