What have you done to your P5 today?
- Thread starter Tg5
- Start date
. bought it so i can haul around my kayak. completely forgot about my kayak when i traded off my stock rack for fillerswahoo
where are these from? (ebay, obx, anythingelse?)
Pulled my exhaust, mocked up the pope DP, dropped the oil and coolant. Got a busy weekend so the wife let me have tonight. Next week comes changing thermostat housing, install coolant sensor in the upper main rad hose for the microtech, dropping the oil pan and girdle for yet another attempt at a proper oil drain. This will be four holes in the girdle and probably more to come! All for 3" straight pipe exhaust. Probably going to be too loud when it's all said and done.
Wish me luck.

Yes, thats my plan. But before I even cut into them I will try and make some covers using the fog deletes I have on the way as templates.

I want my next mod to be a header but I'm worried about emissions here in NJ. Do you have inspection for emissions?
all we have in CT is emissions inspection. but I will just throw the stock header on when testing is needed every 2 years.
and its an obx that I picked up off ebay
Yep it actually rides really well! It has just a little more bounciness than before but it rides good!
Cool. Looking forward to seeing it.

is it a visual inspection? if not just use the non fouler on the o2
im not sure how in depth the testing is but i at least know they open up the hood and for it.
in other news, i have non frozen rear calipers now. very exciting.
Got a lot done in the last 3 hours, even though it's been raining like crazy. Love having a garage.
P5
1. Measured the rear hubs to see how much of a bolt-on spacer I can use (10mm is too short and the hubcentric part hits the hub) - Looks like I'll have to go 20mm
2. Ground down some of the body inside the rear wheel well, since the endlinks were rubbing against the body from being pulled in by the AAC link kit
3. Heat formed a license plate frame to my angle-bent front license plate
4. Re-drilled screws in my lip to get it to sit more even on one side
5. Installed new OEM lower grille, since mine was all faded and 3/4 tabs were broken.
MZ3 (GF's)
1. Got it aligned since I put MS3 Pro-kit and shocks in it 3 weeks ago
2. Lubed the front passenger top-hat bearing
3. Replaced the map light bulbs with LEDs
4. Added Axela badge
5. Installed MOCC license plate frame in rear

Make sure you have the correct cone gasket to go between the header and mid-pipe. My local Advance Auto gave me a run-of-the-mill donut gasket the first time around.
got all the correct gaskets and new hardware from rockauto. all set to go
cannot wait for this weekendand huzah, new caliper and adjustable endlinks
