What have you done to your P5 today?

The non-fouler trick is a hit or miss. Most of the time it's hit and you rarely hear of it not working. I have it on my second o2 sensor and ever since the turbo install, the CEL has come on a coupe times but gone away in a couple days.
 
yeah mine lasted for about 3500 miles before it came on, then when it did i reset my ecu, came on after 200 miles, reset and went away. i just regualarly reset my ecu now anyways. either every 10 gas fill ups/oil change or before going on a trip to NY (every 2 months) other than that, no problems with not having the cat. besides the extra low end tq. love it

lol well gee arent you lucky. im somehow way too amazed that my car doesnt give me more problems with the way i drive it. one of my favorite things to do is to see how long i can get her to spin when shifting to second gear. (i get new tires every year, get extended warrenty and claim you cant spin your tired)

i just dont seem to get the problems that normal people do, or from what i saw from working at pepboys. i do change my oil every 3000 or less miles with full synthetic and run the best damn filter money can buy(pure one, available at yes, pepboys). run premium gas, and rotate my tires every oil change, another nice thing about being friends/working at pepboys. go protege5 go!
 
The non-foulers worked for thousands of miles on mine without ever throwing a CEL
 
I did the non fouler trick today after failing emissions... worked great,

Then i proceeded to kick, curse at, scream at, throw keys, break flashlight after getting P0704 and P0705

Doh...I can't remember his s/n either. I know I have seen him post a few times about it. If I remember I'll let you know.

I changed the DS rear turn signal bulb last night. It has been acting crazy and working in the mornings for me but not in the afternoon. Harness seemed ok and bulb was not loose. I'll see how the 'stock' bulb works this afternoon on the way home.
 
In the spirit of Halloween!

someone hit my rear bumper while trying to park :( scratched it right down to the plastic and rubbed plastic from there bumper onto mine. Called the police to get a report and he wouldn't even give me one. He pretty much said your SOL.

Ya, nothing they can do. Sucks, I have several marks similar to this on my bumpers. Rear bumper is all ugly from getting rear ended (very minor) by someone without insurance. But being a broke college kid, it wasn't a necesity to get it fixed since it would be coming out of my own pocket. I have a lot of body work that I need to get done... :(
