What have you done to your P5 today?

harness bar? U talking about the bar chris has? I want one. Where he get it from and how much do they cost?

yes sir! thats actually for a WRX but it fits in our car=) i think it about $200+ for the Sparco harness bar.
 
Filled her up today - $41.00 total and 23.99 mpg. Ugh, too much city driving while I'm here at school.

dang and gas just went up 10cents here. I get about 29mpg in 80% traffic. A normally 10minute drive turns into an hour.
 
How the hell do you manage that? I'm about 60% highway 40% light traffic and I get around 25-26...and I'm not hard on the acceleration...Hrm oh well

Yeah, $3/gal for regular here but we all know I can't use that watered down stuff (lol). I paid $3.30/gal for premium and put in just a hair over 12.4 gal.

Wow, that's not too good at all. My 23.99 mpg was like 90% city and I know I wasn't always driving "nicely". I'm pretty sure if I drive like a normal person for the entire tank I can do roughly 25 mpg city and I know for a fact I've gotten 30+ mpg all highway.

Since my Mazda isn't running I have been driving my Chevy. It gets around 13 miles per gallon. My P5 averages 28 - 32mpg.

not to sure but expect advancing both cams 3degrees has something to do with it. I gained an extra 40 miles per tank. My day starts with a 6 mile cruise up the mountain. Once u reach the down hill section its 8 miles of stop and go traffic to my gf house. From there its about 12 miles stop and go traffic to her school and 11 miles stop and go traffic back to my school. After school I drive back 11 miles in traffic to pick her up and 12 miles back in traffic to her house. Then a few extra city miles just hanging out. My day ends with me driving back through the mountains with smooth traffic.

Drove to Autozone to buy oil and an oil filter for the MPV. While there I remembered to look for the 626 oil filter for the P5. Bought a Bosch 3323, sound right to anyone else? The guy behind the counter said the 3323 wad for model years 2000-2002 with a V6.
 
Installed new brake pads and got the rotors turned. With that and the new tires this week, the car should be safe now.

Also, I cleaned up the engine bay a bit. It was dusty in there! I guess when the car just runs, I'm not in there very much to think about wiping it down!

Yep Jeff, That's the correct one for Bosch

drove to greddyfest yesterday.

my friend made a funny comment saying they were probably thinking "why is this matrix waving at us"

XD
