pretty sure repainting would be a LOT easier and cheaper than all the parts you've gone through. lol

My car is similar to a msp, but if I took one and painted it white, it would not be even close to being the same.

Plus, about 3k+ for a full color change a long with the payments and extras such as exhaust, bcs, blah blah blah.
 
Oh yeah, put the extended studs and 10mm spacers on the rear today, 13mm would of been perfect but oh well, still looks a lot better.

I also removed the IM from the p5, holy s*** those are a b**** to get out, idk if I want to do mine now.

Anyone know if it is unsafe to do 2 spacers on top of each other? I still have my old ones and will put them with the 10mm if its safe to, if not, oh well.
see if they'll sit decently... can't hurt to try. if nothing else, take em to a shop and get em tack welded together
 
Never mind on the two spacer idea, they settled in and are just fine how they are :)

Where would I go to get something ceramic hot coated? I'd like to do the turbo, mani and s-pipe.
 
I had mine done when I got my turbo and it turned out great.............why must you copy me again!!!!

Jk, it's just funny that our cars have that much in common, haha.
 
Jet Hot, is that a company or did you forget the ed on call? lol.

Well today I went to finish the job of removing the front and rear motor mounts with the stock shifter setup for ty, end up pulling the whole motor out. FUN FUN lol.

& ETA on tranny swap is 2-3 weeks :D

I'm waiting to line up something with the guru fool, that way it'll go quick and smooth :)

Also added an extra section in the first post for the boost progress.
