another event - this Sunday 06.13
Mike -
Thought I'd bump this up for you... as AMEC is holding it's second event of this season this Sunday - 06.13.10 - at the Albany Saratoga Speedway and there is still time to register.
I ran the November 2009 event, as well as the 1st of this season on...
update on ABS / Brake light
S O L D.
After visiting the dealership this past Thursday, they told me that it needs an ABS pump.
While there, I've got new rear brakes and resurfaced rotors ( they were getting down there - so that HAD to get done ).
In speaking with another knowledgeable source...
ABS and brake light to get checked out Thursday
FWIW - I have an appointment at the dealership that I've used ( 25+ miles away ) on Thursday morning to have the illuminated ABS and brake lights taken care of
New Pricing
It's been a couple of days and plenty of views... and I'd still like to find a new home for the P5... so maybe I can help move things along this way... New Pricing Until Further Notice ( and as long as this other particular car I'm interested in is still available ) - for Forum...
water pump dry
My mechanic told me this morning when he did the oil change that he didn't do the water pump when he did the timing belts the week before last. It was dry as a bone and no need to change it ( had it been wet, he would have ).
He told me that he doesn't like to replace things...
Yellow P5
Thanks for the bump!
You know, I don't know if he did the pump or not - it wasn't mentioned on the bill... but he's the kind of mechanic that would have ( or at least would have mentioned it to me )... I'll have to ask him on Tuesday a.m. - I'm taking it in for an oil change...
Mpg
Well, my 2nd fill up since the tune up yielded a more usual 28 something mpg... so I must have made a mistake somewhere on that 1st fill up calculation.
I'm just saying...
Yikes... need signage...
Signage added - before the car gets any dirtier... did leave that one shot of the car on the stock rims, though, to give folks an idea how they look painted... thanks.
Also shown... rear fog light mod ( wired to ignition and switched ) and another pic of the car with...
REVISION: S O L D
For Sale in Dutchess County NY - 03 Vivid Yellow Protege 5
I have A D D and have had this car coming up on three years - bought it with 21K on it... and it's time to try something else. The P5 has been my daily driver, I use it for work and it's worked out well. I have...
winter package
Blizzak LM25 225/45/17 and ASA JH3 ( Tire Rack ) - left over from the last Subaru - just had the hub bore taken out a bit... and she's good to go.
MS springs
Yes, I'm happy with the springs. No complaints... the drop is not too great, which is probably why it hasn't become too harsh, but enough to be noticable visually to the trained eye...
suspension
I'm no guru either, but I'm pretty much running your potential setup now on my 08.5.
Cobb rear sway bar on stiff ( not stiffest, just stiff ) setting, and MS springs. I don't plan on going with the front sway bar.
I'm also riding on RE-01R's... 225/40/18's ( bought during the 1/2...
