What have you done to your P5 today?

[01bluemp3]

Me too... nothing but grins when I added the BCs... though I guess the GT Spec rear setup is out of the picture now, glad to know before I spent much time researching it.

I wouldnt rule it out. There is a speed shop by my house that can get custom arp bolts and studs. all i have to do is get an extended stud for the top hat. It just sounds like the studs arent long enough to go through the shock tower and gt spec tower bar. Mine shipped today, i will run them by the shop and see it he can get longer studs for the top hat when i get them

This is what I was thinking/hoping. I haven't seen the BCs in person so I don't know if the studs can be removed.

So on the BC gt spec compatibility, one of the other members, o.g.sk8er has the same setup and it works for him, so IDK.

I got the popping/rattling sound fixed, loose front endlink. Also got her an alignment, but passenger rear wheel has a bunch of camber they could not fix

 

[01bluemp3]

you might need to rotate the top hat 180 degree

in the rear? Then it just wouldn't fit... something else is up. Aren't the rear lower mounts slotted to gain you some camber? Make sure it's all the way out.

 

[01bluemp3]

not sure, its been a while since i messed with the rear. i just remember on the front if you change the position of the top had you can gain more camber. justin b, xelderx would know better

 

[shane02pro5]

That's only on the fronts the rears can't rotate due to the bolt pattern I believe.

Rears are pretty set in stone as to how they go in.

 

[01bluemp3]

Well, got the car at the garage, and ready to get work done. here is how it will sit for the next few weeks to month.
