What have you done to your P5 today?

[mx-p5]

Taylor, that was supposed to be kept on the DL! They should be here Thursday along with my NOS stickers and Turbo-sound exhaust addon

Actually my next mod will be installing my Reactive header after it shows Thursday. Gotta take it to a local metal shop to have em drill out and weld in a second O2 bung. It's only got one right now.

Long runners are uber sexy compared to the short runners on the OBX

I'm using a long handled socket wrench but I can't straighten it out to 90 degrees because the black metal thing that it bolts into from underneath is in the way. I was able to get those two bottom bolts loose fairly simply but the one straight thru the middle is a b****.

Yeah, I got to the bolt from the bottom of the car because it was the easier of the two paths but I also have a 5-speed so that could make a difference. What are you using to get at it?

You need an extention to pull out away from the support.

this is why air tools are FTW

I had my MM installed when the motor was torn apart. having a mechanic that will throw parts on teh car while it's already apart is FTW!!

My uncle has an impact wrench but due to the tranny being in the way, there is no way to get to the bolt even with extensions. I'll make sure to use and extension and a wrench next time. He just didn't have any at the time.

dont forget your laundry...you left it on the driveway.

lol that pic was taken at a friends house, they were having a yard sale

 

[mx-p5]

Quickly, anyone here love/hate their underdrive pulley?

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

meh doubt it makes a whole hell of a lot of difference to be worth it lol

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Made a pic thread...Check it out and tell me what you think...

Didn't really notice any difference. I'm probably going to go with just a lightweight one and the other lightweight pulleys if Brach ever gets his s*** together.

Did a compression test for the first time on the new motor 180psi across the board and put in new plugs.

Also put the air filter back into my fenderwell after the big storm never really hit us hard!

Hit the nail right on the head! I'm planning on running these although I have to save a decent amount of money and I plan on finishing the remaining bolt-ons to the engine (manifolds, FMIC, downpipe, exhaust). As for tires I'm actually going to go with some Hankook Ventus RS-2s. I hd considered the RT-615s but they aren't the fantastic tire they once were (there are others out there that are better now). Funny thing, I'm going to go with 18x7.5 wheels and 215/35R18 tires because it's actually lighter than the 17x7.5 and 215/40R17 setup with the same tire!

very nice! and I didn't look at the rs-2's maybe I should have...

but that wheel setup will be quite spectacular.

Well I didn't really do anything to the P5 today but I did just order a shitload of new tools so that I finally can rely on only myself for tools. New wrenches, ratchet, breaker bar, impact wrench shallow sockets both metric and sae (14 piece each), impact wrench deep sockets both metric and sae (12 piece each), 3 piece impact extensions, and most importantly an electric impact wrench. It's gonna be like christmas here soon since my seats are just now getting ready to ship out as well.

I took a picture of it on my way to work

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

did your camera drop acid before you took the pic?

 

[mx-p5]

Yup. It's been acting funny lately.

Actually, it's a hideous gassttation and some people watching me take the pic, so, i blurb'd em out
