What have you done to your P5 today?

[magnumP5]

yeah i used to have to get my g/f to bring it from MD when she lived there...can only get it in non emmisions counties here.

Other option is to mix your own just using alcohol instead

I have about 3 gallons of Apex Washer fluid - I just don't know it's methanol/additive content. After searching around a bit it seems it will suffice it's just unlikely it is the ideal mixture. I see I can order some pre-mix from Snow Performance though (49/51 methanol/water) for like $30.

Anyhow, I just ordered a new, smaller nozzle for the kit and an aluminum bung for my intake pipe. Hopefully I will have everything and can start the install sometime next week.

Never understood how snow charges that much for that stuff.

Like I said go alcohol if you can't get the windsheild washer stuff...homedepot/lowes will have a gallon of denatured alcohol and then grab a gallon of distilled water...50/50 mix and you have two gallons worth of mix for about $10

What's the cutoff look like with yours? Mine is messier than it was with halogens. no eyelids for me.

So, when driving home, i happened on some plastic blowing around the road. I hit it, and didnt see it come out the back. I just figured it was stuck in the grill, so i just continued home, cause I didnt want to pull over on the interstate. Well... here is what i found. (dont mind the rust... stupid MI)

How did it stick to the exhaust at 70mph? Anyways, now it smells like burnt plastic. It will probably for a while.

Oh and i found that funny rattle i have been hearing.

Rust anybody?

damn....i'm glad i live in the south
