My Tight budget P5 Thread

[icantshift]

I haven't had any time to do anything worth posting because of school, snowy weather and simply not having enough money to spend. Window tint is next on my list and I hope to post more interesting things in the future.

(Snow is pretty fun for handbrake parking jobs though)

First update in a while. Installed a Pioneer FH-X70BT and it is just superb. Also got a sickspeed 3 inch antenna to replace my ugly oem one and some decals. Also ordered a new shift knob and boot. Window tint is now on the top of my list, and after that painted rocker cover and red calipers.

I've got a wrinkle red valve cover that would look quite at home in your engine bay.

Looks good but my plan is to paint mine base black with red letters, thanks anyway though!

Haven't really been updating this thread but I got some black '03 "canadian" headlights and they look pretty cool so here's a picture:

Damn now I want to do a fog light delete.

Im surprised nobody has said anything about the location of your breather hose on the intake. That should be before the MAF, not after....
MAF may be reading more/less air then is actually going into the intake. Which could affect MPGs and driveability.

I agree it's strange. But it's the same way stock: http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z23/stnjp01/Stockengine-1.jpg

I may try putting on a mini-filter (not sure what they're called) on the breather and plugging the hole on the intake just to see if it makes a difference.
