Hey way to be a jerk about it...j/k the reason I ask is my old probe scrapped on everything when I put just springs on it, but I think the P5 sits higher then the probe ever did.
And Justanother your car is the sex right now. You seem to really know your way around an engine bay. How were you able to do the welding and painting of bumper and lip?

yea i did all that stuff myself, bumper turned out good but the color is off and the lip is ok
ive gotten alot better at painting since i did those so i may try to repaint the car completely sometime soon
and the welding..ehh, i can weld good enough to keep things together but its not pretty at all, i only have a flux core welder lol
edit: just saw u asked how, not if i did
i have a spray gun and a welder, bought some paint at a local supplier and went at it in my garage
i have access to a booth now so i may paint some more stuff later on

and now to top it all off, my car started smoking after i tried gassing it to see if it was fixed
jerked really hard, CEL came on, and then i stopped tryin it, drove back to my GF's house and she noticed smoke when i was parked
so either bad head gasket or something else, either way im tired of workin on my car
im parking it once i drive it home from my GF's house tomm and driving my cousins car around till i fix it
FML
copied from my bad gas thread
as u can see my car is ****** up, and im tired of workin on it
ill work on it on weekends to see whats wrong, really hope its not something serious

well just took apart the turbo i got from js_protege
i took it off the car cuz it was blowing buy a s*** load of oil and i figured i would use it to see how to take a turbo apart and see what caused the leak
got the housings off and now im trying to get the turbines apart so i can look at the inside, but those things are a b**** to get off
and anybody know why these turbo's arent rebuild able? i know nobody makes a replacement ball bearing but the make rebuild kits for the non ball bearings
couldnt i use the seals from the non ball bearing ones in this turbo or are they not the same?
