What have you done to your P5 today?

[NJP5Guy]

New wheels?

ding ding. the winner. got my new wheels yesterday at work. so happy. they look better than i expected.


as for centercaps redhot i was going to put them on when i got home from work because i rushed to get the wheels on before my work closed but when i got home realized that the caps needed to be put on before the wheels got mounted to the hub.....doh!!! they aren't snap in caps. i guess when i put the sway bar on this week i can redo the caps.

 

[NJP5Guy]

Those are supposed to be light as hell no?

yeah 14.1 lbs from what tirerack lists. i will have to weigh them to see how acurate that is. the wheel/tire combo did feel slightly lighter than the stock wheels w/ the toyos(toyos were lighter than the stock dunlops). i can't wait to hit the auto-x course in a few weeks.

That is just awesome man, I love those wheels but have only really seen them on Honda's and Nissans. They have rwd offsets for those and sell them for 240's, they look sick. Congrads and if you do weigh them please report the difference in weight, with tires mounted of course ;-)

ok so i just weighed my stock rims with 195/50/16 toyo tpt tires. it came to 35lbs nearly on the dot. weighed two rims and the same weight. when i pull off my wheels this week i will weigh my new wheels and tires.

That sux about the caps, but at least you will be removing the wheels for another purpose other than just putting them on.

[asifmbadar]

So do you have a lotus or is that ur wet dream?

 

[cable43]

lets see
today i stripped my rims with this stuff (not the rims in the pic.. my other ones):

I fixed me washer fluid reservoir with this:

(please tell me that I'm not the only one who has broken it)


painted my pilliars dark grey to match the dash with this:

installed these:

i also did some cleaning and moves my head unit and ALP1 SAT tuner because the were over heating from lack of vindication... I mean ventilation

it was a long day

 

[SoonP5ismine]

another job done

i've seen aftermarket ignition wires but having them lay on the whole valve cover cuz they are too long doesnt make sense to me. what is the purpose of them being so long? unless they were designed for a totally different car.

How well did that stripper work? I've got this blazing yellow hood that needs to be stripped I wonder how that would work with the gelcoat that's underneath the paint. I'm just going to take it to a plae and get it painted but I was wondering if the paint could be removed.. I like how terbow had it completely painted but I'm a ricer at heart and want to see at least a little CF

the "Aircraft" stripper works a little too well for JUST removing certain layers.
it took of clear, base, primer in 1 1/2 coats (and that was wheel paint).
this stuff will take it down to bare metal if you us a little too much or leave it on a little too long. I'd recommend using something more mild

Drove around trying to bottom out the suspension. Here's a teaser ...

My car is at the shop. I decided to mow my lawn and the mower had a dead battery. So I had to jumpstart my mower with my truck. I know there is a redneck joke in there someplace.
