You really gotta keep an eye on the Ohio forum, buddy. Haha! Here's the thread.

And here's some video from DaveB. That's you around 0.43seconds into the video right behind Jon.

Looks great dude. Your P5 reminds me so much of CitizenPro's. Keep up the good work.

i like ya black calipers. what sorta paint did u use? i want mine black 2

 

[Lewis7789]

I just used the caliper paint at Autozone, nothing fancy. I brushed them with a wire brush, sprayed them down really well with brake cleaner, masked off the brake rotor and just sprayed them on the car. I used about 5 coats each, just about the whole can of paint. They turned out really well.

i made a bookmark just for the Ohio section so i can right to it all the time! lol

 

[roy obanion]

The car is looking good, Evan. Hopefully I will get to see it in person soon!

 

[Lewis7789]

Kevin, I think I'll pass on the sunroof wind deflector. They look a little too bulbous and I only crack my sunroof, I very rarely open it all the way.

Roy, yeah man, I hope you can make it out to the BBQ!

 

[iSpoon]

Crack kills.

 

[Lewis7789]

I thought I put these pics in here but I can't seem to find them... If they are already in here then please excuse the double post.

Taken by member jri4 (James). Thanks again, mate!

 

[Lewis7789]

And here's a funny old pic from when I got nabbed for speeding in DC. Haha!

 

[blackdragon11]

i love that first pic!

 

[dxaveP5]

r those window visors the in-channels or do they stick on with double sided tape? just curious.

 

[Lewis7789]

Thanks, blackdragon11. I'll let the photographer now too.

I just got the 3M stick on kind. They were $53 shipped from eBay or you can get the AVS brand at Autozone for $50. The ones that go in the channel (WeatherTech's I think) are $150. My dad had them on his Land Rover and one came out on the highway so he had to buy all 4 new ones again. No thanks. But I like the 3M stick on kind. They look good and work quite well. Plus it's kinda nice when my windows are cracked at work and it starts to rain I don't have to run out and roll them up.

Evan, did you see this thread? You'd make top 10 NA or very close to it. Got proof from that Pittsburgh Dyno Day?

[Lewis7789]

No I didn't. Thanks, James. That makes me feel just a little bit better about sinking so much money into such a slow car. Haha!

Here's my dyno graph. 115hp/112lbs on a Mustang dyno.

 

[THE Phen]

Wow... some of those boosted numbers need updated badly. Kooldino's over 320whp now.

 

[blackdragon11]

I put you up on the list lewis

 

[Lewis7789]

Thanks, bro!
