What have you done to your P5 today?

snowblazin - Great Shots!!! My two faves are three and four....three is a great close up and angle and four - your car looks like it is ready to pounce and devour the Toyota...
 
You have paint seperation and blistering. Redo those badges. Painting of chrome plating is quite difficult. It has to do with the fact that chrome won't easily "wet" ('high contact angle' is one way it's expressed, I think). Usually epoxy based paints will adhere to chrome, but you have an exterior application, so steer clear of that, since epoxies will chalk outdoors. Try an acrylic based paint after the final rinse, before the chrome has cooled. This way you can get a tooth on the chrome before you are left with a slick, non-porous surface.
 
Well, I know that I need to remove some of the excess tint between the letters, but I dont think the letters are blistering... I'll inspect it closely when I remove the excess...
 
I have to rant for a second. I hate this thread because it's the first one I see EVERY time I log on to the forums and it says, "What have you done to you're P5..." instead of "What have you done to YOUR P5...". I can't stand incorrect usage like that.
 
i cleaned all of the junk out of the hatch, now when i go around turns i dont have to worry about breaking stuff.

ughhh was a pain at first, there's two screws (that were the hardest to get to) inside connecting the bumper to the fender and they were a pain.. I can now do it no problem, so if you need help I can fill you in.

Oh and I broke no tabs on the bumper which is good news! (cool)

Yea those screws are annoying but not too bad. Now the glue holding the headlights together... :mad:

Yep, and they look sooooo good. Every time I walk up to it, I'm like damn, that is clean! Well worth the couple hours of hell.

I put in my R-Racing under drive pulley today. It took about 2 hours, not too hard. Some bolts were kind of awkward luckily my friend let me borrow his nice Mac tools :D So far I didn't notice a whole lot of difference, but I haven't had a chance to push it hard yet. Plus the ECU needs to learn, right ;)

Also fixed my exhaust leak, yay! Midpipe being held with one bolt = lots of noise.
 
what are you doing man! one week you're installing a turbo, next week you're parting out, now you're hacking up the glove box for a video game???
