I haven't been in here in a reeeeeeaaaaally long time. Most of my projects have been put on hold due to finishing school last December and job hunting. I managed to get handed a job at an online aftermarket motorcycle parts and accessory shop so I am finally able to get back to fixing some of...

Anyone looking for another P5? A buddy of mine's brother is selling his '03. http://southbend.craigslist.org/cto/4362762372.html

Same thing happened to my '95 LX a few years ago. Not sure if yours was a hit and run or not, but people are d-bags either way.

Ok, tonight was the worst night so far. Lately I've been hearing a slight creaking noise from the front driver side when I accelerate from a stop. I don't notice it at all if I'm already cruising and accelerate, but there is a little bit of road noise, so I just might not be hearing it...

Does anyone else's heat take longer than 20 minutes to get hot on colder days? It was 19* this morning and I have about a 20 minute drive to work. The car got up to temp after about 8 minutes, but I didn't get hot heat until I actually got to work. I'm thinking the heater core is getting...

I will probably end up getting the tires before I get the rust fixed. I'm going to wait until the snow hits and see what sales pop up on summer tires. I'm looking at March-ish to get unrusted and fixed... if not sooner. Plus, I don't even know what that is going to cost or who to take it to...

Thank you kindly! I will look into these soon. These NW Indiana roads are total s*** in the winter, as I am sure many of you can relate. I honestly think we have the largest road salt reserve in the western hemisphere.

Ok, I FINALLY graduate college in about 4 weeks, plus a few extra hours. I have started making a list of things that need to be done to the P5, like brakes, fluids, bearings, suspension, etc., BEFORE I start getting serious with mods. I am hoping to be in a new job by February so I can fund...

The best way to get them in and get everything situated is to remove the housing completely and utilize a workbench or kitchen table. The rubber grommet can be a real PITA to get situated. Depending on the condition of the factory rubber boot on the back of the housing, you MIGHT have to make...

This is the best meme ever!

Talk about meaty tires!!!!!

So just exactly how sticky should the rear wheel bearings be without the wheel on? I can't give it a little push and it rotates a few times. More like, I push it and it stops when I stop. No noise though.... I guess it's time to replace it. Might as well do both sides while I'm at it. Other...

The Canadian EGR has coolant lines and a vent line. http://www.autopartsnetwork.com/egv1124-egr-valve-standard-motor-products/adejRbFaEteiL

Changed the oil today at ~148k miles and scrubbed down the new/old MSP wheels to store away until spring. Bought a drill. Enjoyed the weather. Solid day off.

EGR is cleaned and lubed, but I still bought a new one as a backup. Fixed the problems though... of course. It actually wasn't all that bad. The inside of the valve just had some surface carbon, nothing really built up. [/URL] It was actually just some carbon on the shaft that needed cleaned...

Turns out my misfire problem is my EGR.... again. You would THINK that a BRAND NEW one last year (under dealer warranty) would last longer than 19 months. You would think.... Now, is it really that much of a pain to get out and clean? I would like to think no.... but then again I'm still in...

So, the other day I started getting a rough idle at an intersection by my house after about 2-5 minutes from a cold start. I usually just hold the idle around 1500rpm and carry on with the rest of my commute with not problems; normal idle, not dips in power, etc. If I don't hold the idle up...

I will keep the Conti DW in close mind. However, I'm stuck pushing all money for fun things towards dental work now. Damn responsibility!

Replaced my blower motor resistor.... for $40. I COULD have paid less, but I needed it now, not a week from now. Oh well, I have A/C again. In other news, picked up some wheel cleaner and will hopefully be ditching the tires off the MSP wheels soon and polishing them up before new tires go...

Got me a nice set of MSP wheels sitting in the boot thanks to a certain CleverFrog. I just need to get tires. I might hold off until spring and run down the tread on the stockers... unless someone wants to buy a used set of Kumho Ecsta 4X's for their stockers? 195/50/16
