Well, I am finally spending my last few nights in Virginia Beach. 323 organized a lil Protege meetup (feat. our friend's FR-S). A little bittersweet leaving this area. I've told 323 multiple times, but I can't thank him enough for everything from letting me use his garage, to his knowledge/ the...
Well, I finally drove the P5. Miss this little car so much. Interesting driving with the intercooler piping disconnected. A lot of turbo spool with no boost. I'm going to try to hatch out a plan to get it back on the road in the coming weeks. Job hunting is taking up a good majority of my free...
I have the same issue with my 3rd gear randomly. If you happen to not be able to find a valve cover let me know. Ill give it to you for junkyard prices. Ive managed to acquire 4 at this point lol
If you want a lightweight flywheel I suggest picking up installshields! Hes letting it go super...
Very successful day at Pick N Pull! (minus getting a 10mm socket stolen. Reasons I never give tools out) I went there to see if they cut out the cats, and to see if it had lowering springs. Got there and the car wasn't too bad condition. Had tein springs. Checked the ECU and it was just a...
Well, I've been avoiding the issue for a while. But I'm gonna try to refill the coolant tomorrow and take the car home. At least with it sitting here I can work on the s*** here. I think I am gonna remove the radiator shroud and use the mishimoto slim fans, then get some 2in piping to get the...
I need the U pipe at least. I will have to make a plan and whatnot. I might mess with it this summer. No real desire to right now. I was gonna wire the gauges in this weekend as well. lol oh well
I'll try to get a picture tonight. I have to go work on the car again tonight anyway.
I haven't had any reliability issues per say, more so my doing and time. The EGR falling off is my fault, and my last semester ended up being my busiest somehow. That, sun going down early, and it being cold out here kept me from even wanting to look into that. I don't want to un-turbo it per...
Well, I got the rad in and surprise, nothing fits. Radiator took some finagling around to get in (I think that was caused by the accident so that is my fault.) but the shroud has a massive gap on one side. How something this expensive can be this bad is beyond me. I'm very irritated as I...
Small rant time:
So, I've heard about the s*** quality of Mishimoto, but the FMIC worked out so well I thought **** it, the radiator should be just fine. So, as I am assembling it tonight half of the holes (3/6) wouldn't line up. So, there are 3 screws holding it in and 1 more that I forced in...

These are the ones I got for reference. I just wanted the regular screwdrivers. They are a life saver
