What have you done to your P5 today?

i negectled her and wash/waxed the rode the hell outta my bike today. thats the car in the background all lonely parked on the street:(
 
Lookin good Kuda... and the p5!

Repositioned my wga and added a few washers as shims then took about 30mins to put the damn e-clip on until I taped it to a long steel bar 5secs done! Ordered 2 Nitto NT555 225 35 18's $320 mounted balanced. Also ground a .2" corner off my upper coilover collar for .4" more tire width clearance.

I haven't been able to enjoy the new setup after a few datalog runs and a spike to 21psi from a loose fitting on my boost controller and a blown coupler causing a dent on the underside of my hood :( ... not to mention 2 tires with 0 tread and a few belts showing!
 
finished installing the sts shifter thanks to boostdprotegelx' input. what a pain in the ass. it was an overall easy install...just hard cuz i have a bad jack and couldnt get the car up very high. so i had my chest literally on the car underneath it. those damn washers that have to go on were the hardest part of the re instasll...so tiny and kept falling out. but finally it is done and over with.

LOL, I have the same chingy album burned on the same brand/color CDR.
 
just got ngk copper long reach plugs($10), new coils($27 each) and just waiting on wire to swap out before driving an hour to my parents....can't wait to see what happens
 
I drove it today! Man this thing zooms after driving a truck for the last three days!
I hear ya. Goin from lumbering prerunner xtra cab with 18s with 285/60/18 AT tires to zee gocart zoom zoomage is definitely a shock, a good one. Then it's good to just chill & flop about in the rig too.



Ordered a new pulse generator today hoping it'll get the manual mode downshifting back right, kinda randomly works now. That would also be called the input turbine speed sensor. Hoping it's not the shift actuator but that's still not crazy bad or expensive since I have to also do strainer/fluid soon. Hoping for the 40.00 fix. Works perfectly upshifting & in auto mode so we'll see.

Are you referring to the P5 in the 2nd para?
You have tiptronic? You didn't do any hard gear downs into 1 did you? I mean, the systems prevents it...but sometimes you never know....
 
new coils, long reach plugs, and wires installed....runs smoother and seems peppier in midrange rpms.....but than again everything is new
 
lets see, I havent driven my car in almost two weeks and i looked at it for the first time in a week today. Awww how i miss it. Finnaly have this weekend off work. time to re install the bumper, new coils and plugs and it will be boostin again!!!!
