What have you done to your P5 today?

[iJay]

Hopefully I can claybar and wax the doors and hatch to bring back a shine like the rest of the car has!
I want this sway bar swapped but I think I will wait till i get the tranny on the outs.

 

[cojsl]

get quality headers. I got an ebay one and it was completely cracked a few months later even after 2 welds. engine looks clean

Used OBX from another M247 member, so should be fine.

 

[mx-p5]

used an OBX on mine and never had a problem, since then it's been on 2 other Proteges without problems as well

^ x3 on the OBX. No complaints here at all. Someone on here even found a company that coated his OBX with ceramic for pretty cheap too. Just something to look into maybe. I didn't do that, and I'm still happy.

popped the hood this morning on the way to work and noticed that the oil leak seems to be coming from right above the transmission. this weekend before even taking anything apart, I will look under the car to see if I can see if there is a hole or just a seal or something that may have let go. I'm thinking it may be near the Oil filter, but the wet spots are on what appears to be the transmission on the driver's side of the car. I'll try to remember a pic tomorrow morning to post up as well as the vid i keep talking about.

[719prottege]

my friends ebay header broke in half :/

 

[Sleezer1533]

Dang, really?

 

[Bastian]

so the P5 was parked in the driveway today, which is a hill. Let's just say, either my e brake wasn't on all the way or it's failing for some reason (sad2)

 

[Sleezer1533]

Oh damn, where did it end up?

 

[Bastian]

well luckily I always turn my wheels when I park so it miraculously missed the concrete wall, pickup truck, and lamp post and ended up sideways on the sidewalk (werd)

 

[Sleezer1533]

Thats lucky, glad to hear the car didnt end up damaged

And this is why it should be left in gear.

 

[Bastian]

It was left in gear.... It's a pretty steep driveway though.

 

[iJay]

If it was in gear it wouldnt roll 100% unless someone pulled it there.

 

[Bastian]

well it's weird... it was in gear, and when I came out and found it at the bottom of the driveway, I tried to push it to make sure it was in gear... and it didn't budge. (uhm)

 

[iJay]

was it in reverse?

Gravity with momentum is quite a bit stronger than one person...

 

[Bastian]

was it in reverse?

No, it was in first gear, but it was pointing uphill.

Indeed.
