What have you done to your P5 today?

[HKPRO5]

Going to do some much needed suspension diagnosis today. Checking the end links, lubing the sway bar bushings, and lowering the suspension a little. Also going to finish fitting my Aspec side skirts.

It is a processing section of the head unit or sound processor that allows you to delay the signal from each speaker by a certain period of time. This corrects for the different distances each speaker is from you so the sound hits you all at the same time.

Thanks...I will have to look into this...

Sorry matt but I have to agree they don't look good. But wont be noticeable from afar. again let me know if you want me to fix them for you. I also don't know why the putty didn't work either.. but FYI I had him using glazing putty not Body filler so there isn't a mixing ratio. but who knows

Here are the eyelids, no putty used (I tried it and it was a huge PITA). Critique away:

Besides the chip on the left side of the top eyelid in the last picture, they don't look too bad.

Mounted my eyelids:

I've also got some a new emblem and changed the color of an old one:

Well they look pretty good on the car and I'll bet no one will notice the holes so no worries. And your fog deletes look so good. I get a lot of compliments on mine, people say it looks like a BMW from the front.

**** your headlights matt, they're so ricer.








I want

 

[MonkeyBone]

No, what I was saying is it looks small because its "naked" the other poster thinks it looks small because it doesn't have the huge super-bike fairing on the front. Its just a different style of bike, they don't have to have huge fairings to have a good size engine in them. I think they make that same bike in 1000cc too dont they?

650 is more than plenty for a first-bike. I usually recommend a Ninja 500 as a first-bike.

Enjoy it and be safe!

^ part of being safe includes not falling into riding with a group of morons, morons ride bikes too...

Yeah they made it in 1000cc, they sound AWESOME!!

A ninja 500...I rode 1 in my MSF course..I wanted some NOS on it or a turbo, it's slow!!! and it was beaten up, maybe that's why it was slow.

That is a lot of poke for a protege. If those were 17's it would be way more do-able. 18's are just too big IMO. Are you lowered at all? Rolled fenders?

I use standard 3m spot putty that is pre-mixed.

New emblems mounted:

 

[roy obanion]

You cut the flying m yourself? I like your setup, unique combination. Are those red overlays?

Oh and I washed all the salt off my p5...It was too cold for that, but glad I got it done!

 

[Matt V]

Yes sir, I cut the M myself awhile back. It used to be black but I decided to go with silver since I have silver wheels now (used to have factory wheels painted black) so now I feel it all matches. I just need to do the front now but I'm not sure if I want to leave that one an Evil M also or get a factory M.

And sorry, yes they are bluebatmobile red overlays.
