nice work..but are you sure you are not showing off a new rim style on that rear wheel in this picture???I think it looks good. I wish I had time to photoshop out the stock one behind it.
Holy crap, what model of the Rocky Mounts is it?
What have you done to your P5 today?

last time i checked theres no such thing as a driving section in a car show
but ok i still get what your saying
i decided to go a different way anyways, because most of the sponsors dont make anything useful for the p5 , and because i could spend the 90 bucks on the Greddy BOV in the FS section lol
EDIT: just searched for it, glad i didnt pay them and get ass ***** like that one guy lol
thanks for the lookout, kinda had my hopes up though

You got me. I was really just trying to see if this car would look good with wire wheels!
Tandem mount R4. Unlike other RockyMounts products, you don't have a choice of colors, so it's a BIG SILVER THING on top of our little black wagon, but it seems to work.
It also retracts to carry a single bike, so that's kind of cool.
Were you able to control the revs decently? Hit the rev limiter at all?
Didn't hit the limiter once. After the launch, I just kept it in second. The tires that I had on didn't grip for s***, so I was slow exiting the turns and didn't have enough time to get fast enough before the next.

Well, my question is where the hell you keep that bike in an apartment? Tell me you don't have to take it up the stairs.You got me. I was really just trying to see if this car would look good with wire wheels!

i was going to my first sat and got sick, never made it (notcool)
I know I read abt that. That sucks man
. I'm trying to get some pics. From the preliminaries the photog posted up (but can't be downloaded) there are a couple pretty darn good ones. It was a REALLY good time, and having A/C for the ride home was extremely welcome. Birmingham had a low of 71 yesterday w/ a high of 100 (that lasted 2 hours). Definitely head out to the next one you can Mark
PS: I forgot how much fun trail-braking a FWD car w/ a big ol' trunk was (glare)

Sure do. Up one story, so it's not too bad. Here's a picture of our current bike storage situation. I mean really, who uses their dining room anyway?

I autox'd mine again as well over the weekend. Not my favorite course by any stretch of the imagination. It was almost all long, large radius sweepers with one 3 cone slalom and one chicago box.
Still didn't do too badly considering. Was a second and a half behind the leader who was in a "prepped" integra over a 50 second course and PAX'd dead middle on the day 22/44.

So many seemingly crazy ideas keep popping in my head and though I said just a few posts ago that I need to chill with the modding, this popped up.

Since mine is an auto as well, could I just do a straight swap? I know wiring and a few other things would have to be done but as far as the engine goes, I should be fine right?
EDIT: nevermind. I read up on it and it looks like a clusterfuck. I may as well just turbo the damn thing. I guess I'll just keep waiting... lol

Ok so I realized I had a big sheet of vinyl hanging around in my basement that happened to be white and the other day I saw some headlight eyelids that I liked so I put two and two together and voila. cut em myself and I must say they look pretty good to me. Best thing is that I can just take em off without any problems if I choose to 
tell me what you guys think.

4th Day - Ridding the Car of DPO (Dreaded Previous Owner)
Cleaned the EGR and the CEL is gone. Replaced the plugs. Back to running great. Installed the rear speakers. Bought the front speakers. Hopefully they'll be here by the end of the week.
Still can't figure out what is causing the clinking/clunking from the rear right. Happens when the car goes over any road imperfection and goes away if you apply the brakes. (uhm)
