What have you done to your P5 today?

[magnumP5]

40 is right if i remember correctly...i have a mam fuel rail ( actually 2, the first one had the threaded hole for the mounting bracket drilled right into the void of the rail(boom06)) anyway, my second rail leaks every 10k miles...i came to understand that it wasn't threaded properly it should have had a thread that tightened as you screwed in the fitting, but no, it just threads forever so it never really tightens down and after some engine vibration it starts to back off the gasket and leak! what a pain!

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? How's your idle? For now I don't have a CEL bubt I've only driven the car maybe 50 miles since it was cleared. I'm just trying to figure out why my idle is so screwed up. If it isn't because of this leak than I have no idea what's causing it.

Just checked again. 40 psi at prime and after 5 minutes the pressure had only dropped to 30 psi. Both of those numbers are within spec but I just checked again and yep, more fuel around that connection. I also just made sure all te fuel rail bolts and bits were all torqued to spec. I usually have a tendency to over-torque things. Either way, looks like I'm going to have to try to fix that connection just to see if it'll solve anything.

I almost put that post up as a For Sale thread. lol

No, it stays. If anything, Magnaflow goes up for sale to be replaced with a Racing Beat

 

[justanothermp5]

whats up with the runners being so long? some sort of horsepower gains?

i ordered an obx and mine should be here hopefully by monday, cuz thats when my college classes start, and i have all the stock parts off of the car already lol

 

[mx-p5]

It's a Reactive Header. I guess the longer runners are better? I got it for $40 so I can't complain. Gotta go have teh second 02 bung drilled out and welded into place today

lol i was actually the same way when i had my long hair, whenever i had my windows down my hair looked like crap, and me looking like crap is a no go haha

but i at most go maybe 55-60 never more then tht average around 45-50 with alot of lights

the msp isnt that bad, but in the back seat its not so great, i've heard lol Cant really hear what the people in the front are saying lol

thats how it is in my car lol i didnt think it was that bad, i asked my friend one day "its not that bad right?" "DUDE I CANT FREAKIN HEAR WHAT YOUR SAYING!!" but we had the windows down and the music on so i guess that played a part too
lol
