    Mp5t 2007

    Wow.... Is it wrong if I find that hilarious? Guess I should watch my back.... This is the first forum I've come to where you can call someone a douche and you actually get "douched" for it. And for the record. Douching does not work. So therefore, anyone who is a D-Bag.... Sorry to say...

    my Idle (plz help)

    Use PBBlaster on stubborn bolts. A good carbon eating cleaner like BG's carb and throttle-body cleaner has worked well for me cleaning out a 4.6L v-6 (GMC) EGR. NAPA typically has the BG products.

    Alternator charge

    At idle, with normal load, your battery voltage should be sitting right around 14 as Tom said. When it gets above about 15-15.5 you need to TURN IT OFF. That means the regulator is likely on its way out and you will fry stuff up in short order. Saw a Chevy pickup's wiring harness light up...

    OBX vs. Thunder Header

    Unless its a very long-runner header.... 4Runner's with 38" header's tend to be pretty darned torquey. Longer runners=lower power band. Shorter=higher. Where do you want it and whats available?

    Is It Just Me...

    From driving my old 84 Tercel 4wd Wagon, I'm used to the too close feeling. Always bugged the crap out of me, but got used to it after a while. Its like driving my folks Excursion. Your passenger thinks you are definitly about to hit the light pole in front of you in the parking lot. You oblige...

    The end Of A Nice Era!!!

    Dang... No fun... And I thought when I fell asleep in my 84 Tercel ( you know, the cool Tercel's, not the nasty 90's (wink) ) that the damage was bad... Glad you are alright! In my looking around here for good and bad points in maybe getting a P5, one thing seems to be a recurring thing-...

    iPod Integration

    I don't own one, but..... Judging by the description and the way its set up, it is a purely Auxiliary Jack adding mod. Not designed to work with anything in particular. What does that mean? It means that anything with a headphone jack can be hooked up with a double-male cable. Your laptop...

    Gas Mileage / rpms????????????

    T/C Lockup's came around in the 80's....? I'd be surprised if these auto's didn't have one? Are there any aftermarket lower diff's or swappable 5th gears? (Coming from my mom's 96 VW Passat TDI)

    Wheels?!?

    Sweet. Good to know. We're working on getting it in for a CCC Inspection. Something like $150, but its a 6 or 7 page printed report. All kinds of measurements, tests, etc... We'll see what comes of that if it gets done. I'll let ya'll know if it happens or not. BTW... Headlights aside, what...

    Wheels?!?

    Hello all. I've been looking at an 02 P5 with 53k on the clock. Test-drove her today. Strong and smooth. I was impressed. Asking 9k. Not bad I'd think. Why wheels as the topic? Well, simple. There are summer tires on the stock rims. I'm in Colorado. If last winter happens again, summer tires...
