It hasn't helped that we haven't had alot of work today so I'm just sitting here thinking about it.

Yea I kinda laughed at that but why am I finding all these super nice ones after if get my p5? I paid a fair amount less for mine over this one but mine has 2x the millage and little things that need fixed here. Parts are still less than they're asking price but I but they don't have rust issues yet

you will almost always be able to find a better deal when looking at cars after buying yours... way to stop feeling unhappy about yours is to just stop looking.. hahaha

 

[o0n8]

very true, as long as I get 3-4 years with just routine maitanance out of it I feel like I'll get my monies worth.

you should google images

 

[wannabe]

yeah, I didn't want to say it to guess anybody out

you'll learn that I'm one of those people that just say what needs to be said

 

[XCLR8TN]

you should google images

Nah... I'm good hahah

 

[wannabe]

My P5 did that too. Pain in the farging ass.

Is there a way to diagnose that easily? Do the lines just pinch themselves off? I've never seen this "feature" before.

you should google images

i don't recommend that. its basically the drain plug in the bottom of the bathtub that is the womb.

One way I guess would be to lift the car up, take the wheel off, step on the brake and see if the caliper retracts after you release the brakes. You could probably do it with the caliper off of the rotor... but I'd be cautious as I don't know how much one pump will push the piston out. Could screw you if it comes out too far.

 

[o0n8]

Since we're on the subject of brakes, the p5 is starting to have a creaky dry rubbery stretching sound at slower speeds when coming to a stop. Any thoughts?

 

[hat1018]

I am developing a grind when stopping. Rotors look iffy, pads (at least the outside ones) look good. Going to look into a Mazda6 upgrade. Not sure about the e-brake cable issue though.

 

[THE Phen]

Simple solution... only do the fronts. Problem solved.

Or just get better pads, and better tires and don't **** with an "upgrade"

 

[thejeans]

one thing alot of people seem to forget when upgrading is the brakes are ONLY as good as the tires...

 

[hat1018]

Right, but it is a size thing for me. Those tiny rotors make me crazy.

twss

 

[hat1018]

Don't they all? They shouldn't know the difference!

Smaller wheels. Problem solved.

 

[hat1018]

My goal is to be able to swap 17" wheels between the P5 and the 3. Psudo wheel ***** if you will.
