What have you done to your P5 today?

[mx-p5]

yeah, well where I live now, at least 1/4 of the population live between here and up north so during winter, the roads are full of retired elderly in mercury and lincolns

worked on installing my replacement brake caliber today, got the lines hooked up, bled, bads installed, and all... got ready to bolt it on than realized the replacement brake was a left and i need a right(hand)

on the bright side its easy to bleed the brakes, got plenty of practice today. (loser)

at least it was only the door.... nvm. use a lunger to pull out the rear quarter panel and get a door from someone here parting out their car, paint it with the insurance money and keep the rest

Found out what's wrong with my P5, the tube from the air filter to the engine is cracked...

I have that pipe if you need it...

is that the part you were talking about? PM me and let me know how much it would be.

thanks for your help everyone!

Just ordered a bunch of parts for the P5. Notably: a Canadian EGR, coilpacks
+wires, and new brakes (rotors, stoptech pads, and new lines). Hopefully I have the willpower to wait for the xmas break to install everything

where'd you get the canadian EGR?

Rockauto sells it as a kit, part number EGV1124.

Damn Ty. Sorry to hear it man. God damn snow birds. I'm kinda thankful they don't stay in their native habitat, but it sucks when s*** happens to my friends due to them.

Completed my wire tuck of the harness that goes over the intake manifold and valve cover. So much cleaner now and only needed to extend the power steering wire. Some pics below:

BEFORE

AFTER - So much cleaner

How did you do this? Was it just a matter of adding length to the harness.

You take the wire on top of the VC push to left side of the VC and tuck the wire on top of fuel rail under it. There's no extension of the wires needed. Chris and i first did it to my motor when i had it all out. Really simple tuck and it makes it look so much better!

+1 to what Hung said. You just have to take off all the loom and you can tuck it under the fuel rail and around the VC.

Callie was making a left onto the road (staying in the left lane)

a 75 yr old spanish lady in a Camry decided to pull out and wanted the left lane as well

The dent in the back was when the woman backed up to get her car out of the road, clipping callie's car with her mirror


and and PM sent about a door

I replaced my front endlinks tonight. It's sooo much better now. I purchased Moog parts(that's what the store had in stock).

I didn't even bother trying to use the socket head bolt/nut to remove them. I just cut them off with my cut-off wheel.

Thanks for all of the tips I found doing a search on the subject.
