What have you done to your P5 today?
- Thread starter Tg5
- Start date
bought this
installing tmrw
yours came with new endlinks? if so that is cool... i would recommend getting an extra pair of mounting brackets... mine ripped a few times... until i had customs ones made... nvm that bar looks used
today... i swapped out my almost metal to metal brake pads for some used extra ones i had lying around... still waiting for my new rotors to come in before i put my new pads on....
also bled the brake system... i'm in need of a new master brake cylinder ftl... probably pick up a new one next week when i get paid... hopefully my new rotors come in around the same time so i can do it all at once...
also put my mazda3 rims back on
(rofl)
drove it to new jersey for a day of biking at Diablo Freeride Park. So much better hauling bikes on the hitch on the p5 than on the roof of my old civic. no trouble getting up hills and fuel economy seemed pretty good.
mountain sucked though! they keep putting money into building stunts rather than maintaining the actual trails. forearm pump FTL!
oh matt, so much to learn about bikes
what is stupid is spending hundreds of dollars on modding headlights...

My hard-tail race bike's frame in 1996 was $1100 alone. Hand-made quad butted cro-mo frames ride sweeeeeeet! My current hard-tail would be nearly $3000 as equipped.

Hmmm, well I went out and warmed up my car, drove it around the block then popped the hood and throttled it up with the throttle body and it's still all good. It's not getting sucked flat. I'm still a little worried about it so I'll upgrade the tubing tomorrow.
Yea i just used that tubing for my SSAFC...Im going to pick up some real vac line tomorrow.
So SSAFC is in also with the 440 injectors. Car runs fine except I have a bad injector oring and my vac line going to the SSAFC is leaking. =( So tomorrow I go to pick up the orings and vac line.
Hopefully ill have some time after work to put in the slim fans. After that the only thing to do is put in the supercharger....proly Wednesday.
heres the 440s

yea...lets keep the bike crap out of this thread...
but today i spent about 3-4 hours replacing my intercooler with a different one that was bigger, and it looks GREEEAATT, took off my bumper beam and made custom brackets to hold the intercooler in place, that thing wont move
also gonna put my painted stock rims, my stripped hood, and lower my ground controls all the way tomorrow too, that should change the look of my car enough to hold me over for a while

just an fyi though, the hood looks terrible, ive had it outside for like 3 weeks and still no rust even though its caked in salt lol im throwing it on anyways
On the P5 today, I finally changed the oil... much needed.
I think your argument here is at a loss... many happy customers that will disagree.
This happened to me in my old car. What was worse.... I had to have it towed home, sit outside overnight with the windows down, only to have a giant rainstorm that night. FML, a flooded car.

it's called sarcasm
I stole the pic of the seller, my bad! he included new endlinks with the deal + the mounting brackets so this is a straight bolt on

Took my cousin for a drive in the P5, he wasn't very impressed x) he owns a C55 AMG
I caught it... just pointing it out makes it less funny (nana)
youre less funny!
still gotta sit down and take the time to remove the adhesive from my doors. i am just to cheap to buy 3m remover and its a pain in the butt to get any into a Napa store around here.
ill probably just order it. best to put it into a small spray bottle for soaking the adhesive or use the sponge trick.
a friend of mine told me to use gas to remove it, which worked extremely well when we did a small section of it and it didnt harm the clear coat at all, but im still of course weary of using something like that so i havnt pursued it further
