What have you done to your P5 today?

[vel]

just to the bay. thought about doing the intake and buying some pieces of intake and playin around but dont feel like have to worry about rain. it rainy season here and about 2 months ago almost thought i had hydro locked the engine after the CAI sucked in water from this mini lake that was created by my house. im already a little concerned because i can see the battery terminal through the duct. and wondering if i get caught in the rain how much should i worry.

I had an EVO vented CF hood open for over 2 years, through rain, snow, everything. Never had a problem.

Werd. I have a reverse cowl CF hood and have had it open forever.. no issues..

Love those... I just switched to a DG oem CF hood last month.

I've only been living down here for a little over 2 years.. I'm originally from Maryland.. I know what you're talking about.. I still have my 15" steelies with snow tires... Believe it or not, they've come in handy here in Georgia more than once.

My Azenis are a 205/50/15... I learned my lesson about going with *too* thin of a sidewall driving in Philly.. It wasnt pretty.

Well things haven't changed in/around the Philly area....the roads suck.

I believe you about the snow tires. I graduated hs in Tallahassee (northern GA in my books...lol) and I remember that the city shut down for a day due to a 1/2" of snow.

also changed out the seat covers today. with the gray i might take black paint off the interior pieces to let the gray tie in better.

Those look great! The install wasn't too bad huh?

Figured out the base layout for my battery relocation. Can't wait to get back home in a few weeks and get it started.

What did you come up with?

 

[fishdonotbounce]

pm'ed you. Kinda keeping it under wraps a bit until I actually do it. I think it'll look very clean when I'm done.

I want new wheels. 16x8's to be exact. Not FD's. I'm considering putting up a GI thread for my wheels with basically brand new Kuhmo ASX's just to see what people would be willing to pay for them.

I dont remember the offset.. These wheels have been on an RX-7, an MSP and now my car.. I can find out for you though...

When I took these wheels off the MSP they had a 225/50/15 on them. Talk about tucking tire.. had to roll the rear fender wells to keep the edge of the quarter from tearing up the tire.. Put any weight in the back of the car and forget about driving anywhere.. Ran them until I could afford new tires.. it was interesting to say the least..

yesss.

I want to say they are either a 42 or 45 offset.. IIRC. not 100% on that though..

that's what I would have guessed, thanks!

based solely on how much rub Korey had when he had then 225s IIRC on there, I'm going to go w/ 42 offset.

i know this is just one source, but it looks like th common offset is 40 or 45 so i would go with 45 being the offset. the rims on the car now look to be what? 15x6.5?
