is the intake mani support bracket really necessary? I want to put in my oil pressure sender but can't get that out and its in my way. If i cut it off am i risking damaging something?
 
Went and got myself a can of Krylon BBQ black paint and blacked out my headlights.

Tried to drive the P5 this morning, but as soon as we got into the garage, my son started saying "White Van, White Van." I got my wife to drop me my other keys, and drove the kid to school in the MPV. :(

I did spend a while last night looking at pictures of Sport-20's. If the next car we buy goes to my wife, and I take over the P5 as my daily, I'd seriously consider trading hood/fenders/front bumper with a '99-00 owner that wants the MP3 look, and picking up a Sport-20 bumper and grill. It would be unique, and I love the Sport-20 look.

Edit: ^ooh, I like the matte-black valance^

Looks good!!! I like the rear valance as well...I have been contemplating doing the same on my car.

Yeah it'll put a lot of weight and stress on the face of it. I think someone's cracked due to that. Cutting it will suck worse too, haha. Those bolts shouldn't be too tough to hit though, get a decent size breaker bar, even a 3/8" one and go to town. 14mm socket IIRC.
 
got new plugs (ngk v power) and some maf cleaner and cleaned my MAF.

gapped the plugs at .43

seems ok now. time will tell. i did notice tho when i was taking out my old plugs the C1 wire had white powdery substance on the inside portion of the boot. this suggests arcing right? and could be the culprit of my misfirey idle?
 
it looks good. i always wanted to do my rear valance, i just neer got to it! nice job

That rear valance is hot. I think that may get done on mine when it warms up...

Here's a picture of the HIDs I installed on Thanksgiving.

I'm trying to convince a lady to sell me a set of these:
flik_ftd_(matt_titanium)_angle_zoom.jpg


They're Flik FTDs in Matte Titanium. 16x7, +43. 16lbs ea. Should be able to fit a nice 215/45 under there :). I may need to roll the fenders in the rear, but I need to do that now, so...what the F ever lol. I envision a meaty RS2 Z212. Mmmmmmmmmm, hot sex :D

I've always been a fan of the small wheel, meaty tire look, so if it works out, it should be fun.

She's trying to sell them as a package deal on a local forum w/ a few sets of race tires. They were on her C-Stock autocross MX5 and they've currently got a set of R's mounted. She hasn't had many bites, so she says she'll let me know soon if they haven't sold in the 'package deal' when she'll sell em to me separate.


$200. Word.
 
hahahahah I know. I need to roll them now. 17x7 42 offset w/ 215 tires = occasional shriek from the rear. We're working on a date to rent 1 of these for our little group down here so we can all do 'em.
