What have you done to your P5 today?

[CTt3P5]

I'm gonna tint my badges... (VHT window spray tint) I heard Chrome + Tint = Hyperblack...

Hmmm, I have some left from painting my bumper lights so I might have to try this as well.

got the mam midpipe on last night - had to take it to a muffler shop to get a bolt for the O2 bung anyhow so let them do the install right away. $30 and no fighting with the kartboy exhaust hanger bushings =

exhaust note is a little deeper than before, but it's not really any louder that i can tell. i like it thanks mark!!

oh yeah, it's a good thing i did have the shop do it: they had to use a blowtorch and impact wrench to get the stock bolts out! yikes

Not today but yesterday. Drove the fam to Hersheypark for the day. Longest trip we have taken in the P5 and it didn't let us down. About a 200 mile round trip and used almost half a tank of gas (didn't use cruise) and average speed was 70mph. Wife is still raving about how comfortable the seats are and my mother-in-law (rode back with us on the way home) even commented how nice it rode!

Now if I can only convince the wife that everything will fit in it for our trip to Myrtle Beach....

(lol) We would have to find a halfway point to meet for photoshoots though....lol. However your car > my car.

Thanks all. No secret really. I simply have a home office and a garage, thus I don't drive much in the P5. Plus I'll admit I'm a detailing freak as well.

the car's got like freakin 100 miles on it...it's definatley a "grocer getter" it's purty though!! nice work!

 

[altspace]

The irony of it is that I don't go for groceries, but I do make trips to the local waste managment facility. I think I put an average of 8 miles a day on it at most. Thanks Mark....now onto the grounding kit.

 

[Canecreekfreak]

Ordered some Tokico blues, and will probably get a rear sway bar shortly too.

8 miles a day!! I do 80 a day and that doesn't include weekends.

 

[Breeegz]

80 is my minimum during the week, 40 miles each way to work... It only gos up from there.

Oh yeah yesterday I made the switch from Mobil1 to Redline oil. Also, one of the hose clamps on my intake decided that it was time to die. Something about my CAI being bolted directly to the chassis (without that rubber piece because I lost that) and my rear motor mount in all likelihood being completely torn (I have the AWR front mount and she bucks like crazy still, it's awful) caused a bit too much stress on the clamp right after the elbow off the throttle body. Since it is past the MAF that the pipe came off, well you could imagine how much fun that was. I was downtown so it's not like I could have easily pulled over, and it stalled out a couple times because it was very difficult to keep the RPMs up while trying to stop at lights.

I kept pushing the tipe back on and trying to get the clamp to tighten and it would work for another 5-10 minutes. So yeah, eventually I broke down and went to one of the most evil and hated (I know I do) places in the world.. Wal-Mart. It was after midnight so I didn't have much choice.

Does anyone know of any decent quality hose clamps that aren't like 20 dollars a piece? I know I also need some sort of flex connector too so that the intake can bend a little.

what size you need? i have a few extra nice ones fron the turbo install

 

[bazooka joe]

installed my new led's for my guages...the bulbs that come with the guage are clear and you put these little colored condoms on to get the color of your chocie, well they are terrible and after a while fade badly...i love the new look!
pics of the old bulb, new led's in the daytime and at night

Made more progress on fitting it in the garage for next weeks spring/strut install with the sale in my sig ... yet took up more space with MSP wheels.
