well, all good things come to an end....the msm is retired for the winta...back to the p5 tomorrow...it could be worse, i could be driving a civic all winta!

 

[altspace]

At least you got some good driving weather in this year with it. Don't be hatin' on the Civic yo.

 

[Reitrof]

So where is it being stored? In your garage? Does the P5 get stuck outdoors?

ya, p5 is in the driveway...gotta clean ice and snow off the car for the first time in 8 yrs!(blah) msm is in the garage, battery comes out, goes on the trickle charger in the basement, change the oil, drop some in each cylinder, get some stabil for the fuel tank, i'll prob jack the car and put her on stands too.....

 

[THE Phen]

ya, whats the latest? it's in the shop? what was the damage $$?

 

[THE Phen]

It's still in the shop, probably until the 18th or so. Damage estimate came to $6600. I turned down their offer to get the wheels redone so that I can pocket that money instead. I'll just get them powdercoated, or I'll just paint them or something to get by. We'll see.

The week after Christmas, I'm off work all week. I'm going to drop the transmission and rebuild it that week, if all goes right.

[THE Phen]

Blew out 2nd gear while autocrossing back in June. The syncros were always kinda wonky when I got the car. Previous owner syndrome.
