What have you done to your P5 today?

Drove mine to work today. It appears that I may get good mileage this tank. I'm at 148 miles so far and just dropped slightly below the 3/4 tank mark.
 
Picking up some Evotion springs on stock struts next week. $100CAD for everything. One question, will it matter at all if the struts are from an 01 sedan?

Also picking up new JBL speakers for the front, and air horns lol..

Edit: still new to all the audio stuff, but I can get speaker wire by trading away my stock heatshield, how should I wire it if I have the stock MSP sub&amp installed? Will the stock MSP Amp be good enough for the speakers?

Struts will fit.

You cannot run the front speakers off the MSP amp, as it is only for bass. Since you are not upgrading to a 4 channel amp to run the speakers, just run them off the OEM wiring which is powered by the headunit.

changed my spark plugs, car idles better but hesistates on start up. going to change the wires next.
 
Well, I'm sure I'll get flamed when I say I don't understand the point of wrapping something in fake carbon fiber to look lke carbon fiber when carbon fiber is used to reduce weight when you're actually adding weight to a part to make it look like carbon fiber. It's the general consensus on this board that the 3M wrap is cool so I'll be quiet.(whistle)

lol... it is cool (opinion)...
i think the problem is not enough companies make true carbon fiber replacement parts... even most of the DGM stuff is just overlays so infact we are still adding weight... probably more weight then what the vinyl weighs and subtracting weight from our pockets

We aren't race cars. lol Saving weight from CF is negligible for the majority of people on here. Unless you do a full CF body and strip the inside, (aka real race lightening) the weight loss of using (for example) a CF radio surround is not going to save you s*** for weight... Most CF (real or fake) is used for aesthetic purposes. Just my .02

Touche.

Last I checked that was called "Rice". It's along the same lines as the fake turbo-noise exhaust things and fake hood scoops imo
