What have you done to your P5 today?

[marcs_sp20]

Won and paid for an AutoExe 21mm rear swaybar that I got off the yahoo japan auctions, got it for $134 landed in Australia, VERY CHEAP considering they are $380 new!

Now to wait 6-8 weeks before it arrives by boat

not really sure if its a problem or not, but my car wont boost over like 6-7psi, im thinking its a boost leak and possibly even the boost controller, my car was boosting 12psi easy with the turbosmart....damit i should have kept it

 

[fishdonotbounce]

That's your boost controller. Stock WGA is at around 6.5 psi depending on condition. Just means that either your MBC isn't hooked up right (unlikely since you had one before) or it's faulty.

check your actuator.. n if your losing that much boost u wud be able to hear a leak from your piping, IC etc.. try not using the boost controller n jist adjust the wastegate that wud be the easiest way to tell you if its that or not

I have some 17x7.5 RPF1s on the way courtesy of low_psi, with some brand new 215/40 Dunlop Z1 Star Specs currently sitting in my living room. It's gonna behave like a totally different car for autocross on the 11th, and I can't wait. (drive)

 

[slideshow240]

RPF1's are cute....just not in that size lol

 

[Lewis7789]

Nice choice of wheels. Cute? What's wrong with that size? I'm curious...

They need to be 17x9 and have 195 series tires stretched on them and be herrafrush. Jeez didn't you know that?

 

[alexelie]

rpf1 are so played out every forum has their official rpf1 thread. i like them a lot tho. They look sick on evo x! damn these guys run 10.5 with +18 lmao. Makes me want an evo so bad.

 

[reut1]

score!

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Just missed the Fedex guy by 2 minutes. I watched him driving the other way on the road as I was coming home for lunch. Damn it. Now I have to wait until next Saturday to go pick up my corksport radiator and stuff. Sigh.

 

[Lewis7789]

Boo! Shoulda flagged that sucka down! Your P5t would've caught up with him. Haha! I could see it now...

"Hey! Hey dude! Pull over, you've got my parts!"

RPF1's are "played out"? Does that mean they are trendy? Please explain what that term means.

 

[roy obanion]

Remembered how beautiful it is....haven't seen it in a while

 

[bazooka joe]

de-winged and de-valanced the cf pieces...to be sold next week....(headshake

 

[alexelie]

played out like as in a lot of people have them. Because tehy look nice, they have nice size and if i know well, they are pretty cheap compared to work, volk, bbs, ccw....

 

[FORZWIN]

Removed at least 20lbs of body filler from my roof yesterday and repaired the rust in the roof channels. Also sprayed some interior pieces to a more stockish tone.

 

[CTt3P5]

sorry i sold everything with the car.

Well that sux but money I shouldn't have spent anyway so thanks! lol

got the estimate back on repairs, need a new tail light on the driver's side, hatch pulled out where the dent is and to fix the plate frame, what i need to get is a rear bumper and cover so im shopping around now to see what i can find to help save some money...

know any places to look around? and yes, i'm avoiding body kits since all i have is an SRI (trying to save as much as possible for an exhaust)

Sux to hear about your car but the least they could have done was smash it up right so you'd have to replace your exhaust along with your ds tail light.

Wish you luck in getting her back on the road.

yeah i know what you mean... but what im gonna do is get a set of tails from ebay, but can't really decide what to get, i don't want anything too ricey, but i do like the black/carbon housed tails (i plan on painting my headlights black in the future as well)

ive already ordered the replacement badges (sport 20 familia and the other two stock ones) just in case

 

[hornsfan10609]

The Ebay tails are rice to the max, JDM tails or stockers with red overlays are the way to go.
