What have you done to your P5 today?

[gone_fishin]

I just treated my car the worst it's ever been treated. Smelt like fire when I got done. I just practiced launching between 1,500-3,000 RPM. I am told around 2,500 while controlling the clutch is the best instead of the previous 5k I was dumping the clutch at.

Yeah..... There's no reason why you should be 5k clutch dumping unless you're trying to burnout, and destroy your clutch in the meantime. 2.5-3k and a quick release of the clutch. How quick? Feel it out-- quick enough to be right under the threshold of slippage.

a good launch is little to no wheelspin and should feel fast

dropped in my piaa plasma ion yellow fog light bulbs, and some silverstar turn signals today.

the fog lights look good (but the glass needs to be polished out, thatll be taken care of soon though) but will look better with yellow rockblocker

i want an opinion on this. i got 2 different kind of turn signal bulbs and i wanna see what people think

i have hyper white on the left it looks yellow in the picture but its not (housing looks blue, what i want) and silverstar on right (housing looks amber and blue, but looks good as well)

what does everyone think? (also what is the bulb number for the reverse lights?)

Well I had replaced one of the rear calipers and now it's leaking. Sigh, back to the parts store for a replacement. What a pain since I already painted it.

DaveB speedo ring fell off again! It's been less than two weeks.

Guess I need to use a bit of glue or something.

I was following Velocifero once when he did that, and riding with him another time lol. That's never fun, because the instant reaction is "s***...zoom zoom boom..."

 

[Salmon_Rob]
