What have you done to your P5 today?

I installed a new air filter today (back to factory intake) and LED license plate lights (look at main P5 section for pics).
 
What width are the Rx8 rims? Were the rims in contact with the strut or was it the tires? cus 245 seems a little wide.
 
RX8's are 8" Wide...

My MS6 rims came with 225/40 tires they are both the same size rims. I have no problems running that tire size


Also painted my ADP wrinkle black. It was too much of a pain to polish that thing every week lol I also went to checkers and got new side clips that hold it down and the bumper. The stock ones were too small or something.

GTspec rear strut tower bar will be going in tonight and hopefully the rest of the trunk cage will be in monday. Weird thing is no matter how much i search i cant find pictures of the trunk cage installed with the rear plastics in the car.

Gates belts are good ones, and you can get them on Amazon for a good price, or at Napa in a pinch. I used Gatorbacks and they sucked big time, so I would avoid them. Here are the Gates belt numbers I used:

K040355 (alt/wp)
K050446 (ps/ac)

Dremmel time!
 
Keep the Ronals for sure! I never liked the RX because there is no lip. Now if they were RS's.... that would be a different story.

PS. Wrinkle paint FTW lol
 
Lol...yea...I wasn't gonna say anything about that paint, just hope nobody noticed...as for the rims...I may pick them up as spares...$150 for the set...

Lol...I am sure people notice that most of the stuff I buy is cosmetic...I gave up a LONG LONG LONG time ago on this car ever being fast...

I have been seeing you grabbing things up lately though...
 
I did a seafoam treatment and it smoked like crazy, guess it was a bit dirty in there at 72,000 miles. Also put some belt dressing on the belts and lubed the pulleys and tightened the belts, no more squeaks! Then I vacumed the inside and gave her a bath also had the tire's rotated, I guess it was big day for the P5. Cheers!!!
