The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

What's holding you up? I've been in that area of the engine bay a few times.

I was able to got the alternator out, need to switch pullies, it's just that i have so much I want to do. I guess I could put it back together with what I'm working on now, but then I kinda feel like I'm wasting my money to get it tuned If I'm gonna put more stuff on later.

Still need to get the bottom studs of the stock intake mani and transfer to new intake mani, then install intake mani and run vaccum lines
have the PS and alt out, need to switch pullies and reinstall
Install underdrive pulley and belts
timing belt and waterpump
JDM cams
exhaust mani and DP
Install FMIC and run piping (still need to do the cutting)
install radiator and fans
Horns
boost guage & afr guage
wire in the haltech
wire in turbo timer
Passenger side mount
that's it that I can think of for engine related

Brake pads and rear rotors
clunk-fix braket

and of course putting it all back together

No problem. I mostly stood around drinking beer and watching you work anyway. Glad its rolling again.
 
Just test drove my 1st p5! Saw last night that Montrose in Kent had a red 5sp in, so we stopped out just now. They wanted $3995, but the thing was pretty beat for that price. Lil rusty, cracked bumper, corroded wheels, and the interior was filthy. It was a $2500 car to me...

But, I could get into driving one full time! And I don't know why you guys are always telling me not to expect anything fast? Thing was pretty peppy to me! I didn't run it to redline or anything, but I won't be doing that normally anyway. It's definitely leaps and bounds better than my DD now.

I got to drive Kevin's 6 wagon on the way home too, also a very nice ride! Handled great with the drop he has, as well as adjustable links and poly bushings.
 
I think my biggest problem is not having all the tools i need

Josh, if you want the P5 from kent, let me know, I have a relationship with Montrose Autogroup.
 
Hey phen, that drink we had last night had 143 in it right? How much creamer did you add too?
Was a little disappointed there was no MJ playing last night :(

Liquor 43. You just put enough creamer in to make it look like the head of a beer. It's easiest with the individual creamers from restaurants.

Yeah... no MJ because I spent the majority of the day working instead of drinking. Sorry guys.
 
I feel like starting s*** with the slammed guys today (laugh)

they are being all stupid and easily butt-hurt.

i wanted to say something... but anything from a "mod" is never taken seriously with them.

ill let wagon do the dirty work.

Agreed on both counts. That white 3 posted up with 7 series wheels?!?!?!?! That ******* thing looks like someone gave a blind man a torch and a lug wrench and said "Make it fit." ****, I don't even have 7 series wheels on my 7 series.
 
i just love how one sticker... got them butt-hurt. then jon just picked at it a bit.

i laughed a little.

Normally I wouldn't comment, but it was just so damned predictable he responded. I read Andrew's post and the first thing that came to mind was either justanothermp5 or his brother are for sure going to comment, and sure enough...

..and don't get me started on that white 3.
