What have you done to your P5 today?

[i12drivemyMP5]

^^^Thanks, I'll try that


Maybe someone can help me...Im having a 'belt squeel' but I think it's moreless a PSpump pulley issue.....anyone know if our Power steering pulley can be pressed off? I'm looking at a new PS pump/pulley - $300!! sticker shock!..I don't really know if its the pulley or the bearings inside the pulley, i dont know wtf im talking about...help....

Pump bearing issue would be gravelly vs. squalish IMO. The ps pulley can be pulled with a 2 jaw puller, from autozone loaner FTW - free. Just take pump off bracket, then res off bracket & loosen lines by strut tower then you can wrangle the pump to face up to pull pulley off without letting juice from system. But....if you have a broke pump then just take lines off pump, remove from car then use 2 jaw puller on pulley. To get mine back on all I used was 3 different length bolts & a fat washer with some anti seize inside the center of the pulley & pulled it back on with a 12mm socket/wratchet after putting pump back in it's bracket on the car to hold it while pulling pulley back on. Strap wrench works great to hold pulley from turning while tightening the bolt pulling it back on.

Drove to and from Longwood (just outside Orlando) this weekend. Just over 2 hours each way. Car is filthy, inside is covered in dog hair from my 3 mutts. Luckily it was cool the whole trip so minimal bug splatters.

Really enjoying the TWM!! Didn't like the shift bushings at first, but, I'm liking them now! I just gotta get new motor mounts! While crusing on the Turnpike as I hit the gas, I could feel my shifter lift and fall. Not good


Also, might be picking up these wheels. Photoshopped em on. They aren't quite the right size in the pic, they're really 17's, but, i'm not the greatest at photoshop

Hey at least you can Photoshop. I don't even have the program. Those rims would look pretty good on the Laser Blue. That's about the only thing I dislike about my 22a, black rims (which I've always liked) don't look as good in my opinion. I think there's not enough contrast to stand out, and too much to match for my tastes. Bah.

Anyway, drove her to and from school in slushy snow. Now she's all dirty again. Anyone else have problems with passengers dragging a bunch of crap into their cars? I find it frustrating.

Woo, got a KB SS and bushings coming in soon, is the install for this short shifter the same as the TMW SS or do I have to do something different?

Dude, I'm in Winnipeg too lol. I already have my shifter and bushings, but it's been way too cold to install it. And now it doesn't look like it's getting any nicer. From what I've found on the forums here is that it's very similar, except people keep talking about putting washers underneath some part so that it doesn't rub, but they say it's fairly intuitive as to where those would go. Someone else who has done the install would know better than me though. Answers?
