^^ i wish i could do that
What have you done to your P5 today?
- Thread starter Tg5
- Start date
just hoping it pops in the next 1700 miles.
And i know how to MAKE it pop, but, i don't want to do anything dumb that'll risk voiding the warranty
if it's knocking...you don't have to wait for it to pop.....take it in and have them look at it now....
or you'll regret it later.....that ticking could last 2miles before it pops or 10,000 miles....it just depends
plus think about it...no way in hell are you going to sell that car with a ticking motor for $6,000-$8,000

Too hot in texas. Had to buy those annoying sunshades to protect the dash and help keep the interior cool.
Anyone try this:

alright, i'm worried now.
There is a stock 02 Protege5 that overheated and fried the piston rings (Was bone stock) and he had a warranty, they denied his claim, saying "He should have shut the car off when the temp light came on"
The mechanic is worried as well, cause he knows ii need amotor

Lubed the s*** out of every single part on all the brakes. I thought that was my metal grinding noise. It wasn't. I drove it around and it was still there. I jack the car up and look at the exhaust and sure enough one of the metal ties that was holding the heat wrap in place slipped off and was rattling on the pipe making a very similar noise to metal grinding. Problem solved.
fail. At least it was an easy fix lol

Welded thunder mani and heatwrapped, new tb and new maf and cleaned the bay
too much red in that Bay IMO
No, that'll hopefully be me. lol
Started the strip down today, all parts won't be FS though until i sell the P5
Callie gets my lights for now, at least till I pick up the MSP and swap em back. She should have hers in 2-3 months
Also removed the 03.5 MSP lip. Gotta go get a CD pocket at Walmart and then the gauges come out this week coming, along with short shifter and AWR motor mounts
Gonna swap intake manifolds back and do the rear motor mount while i do
Hey Pro, just wondering if you are going to sell that MSP front bumper because my stock one looks like it was sandblasted and yours is already blue so I wouldnt have to paint it, and I want the fog deletes. Let me know. Thanks
Alex
All parts are not for sale
Motor is knockin bad, so it isn't gonna sell. Gotta find out what's gonna happen with the motor now.
Warranty company declined a dude's stock pro5 that overheated and melted the piston rings and needed a motor, so, i'm affraid to find out i gotta outa pocket pay for a new motor

If your looking for any stock parts to replace your aftermarket, shoot me a PM and maybe we can work some deals
i'm all set on stockers, but thanks!
Dub benefited from my need of stock shifter and motor mounts.
Just swapped twm shifter lastnight out for the stocker, god it sucks. lol
So, ordered an 03.5 MSP short shifter to replace the stock cause i can't do these semi truck throws of the shifter
oh, and racing harts are taking a break
