What have you done to your P5 today?

[thorracing271]

Changed the Trans Oil, everything went smooth besides the fact it smells like rotting bodies. Friday will be the radiator fluid change but im not sure if i should by 50/50 or just go with the concentrated and dilute it myself?

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

i do 50/50.

 

[reut1]

i do 50/50.

This way you don't have to worry about buying a bunch of distilled water and not using tap water.

I'm currently saving up for a projector setup for my HID's. I'll be getting everything around Christmas time if all goes well.

Finished swapping out the interior. Trim around radio/HVAC, trim by shifter, and gauges are all black now. Looks so much better than stock IMO.

Except I'm not sure how to get the silver plastic trim around the shiftknob black and I don't want to paint it to screw it up. So instead I just used some plastic polish meant for headlights and it looks really nice now.

Washed it and almost lost my hands to frostbite. Worth the sacrifice to save $4....

Thanks man, does anybody have some suggestions for how to go about doing this? Maybe I can go to a junk yard and take one out and experiment with it so I don't ruin the original one.

After I get the blue or red LED's in the gauges I think the interior will be finished for now, but I'm waiting for a GB for the LED's.

That's where I'm getting them from most likely.

 

[CTt3P5]

Got a call from the mechanic earlier to say that she failed inspection. Some new pads up front and she'll be good to go, so guess what she's getting for Christmas. But that's not all, I also have a couple of other things waiting.

He also said that my front struts were damp, not enough to fail but just giving me a heads-up. Time to work on the wife to explain why now is a good time to lower vs buying OEM. (nailbyt) (gah)

 

[justanothermp5]

whaaat? you didnt pass because your brakes were low? where did u take your car too?

the place i take mine doesnt even put it on a lift, just does headlights, brake lights and pops the hood

i took my car there with a header and i passed

 

[CTt3P5]

Took it to my regular mechanic who is a friend of the family. As for failing, I just need to replace them and then they'll do a visual and slap a sticker on the window.

And wouldn't low pads be a good reason for a failure???
