What have you done to your P5 today?

[justanothermp5]

FIXED IT

god dam, it feels good to have a car that drives normal, turns out it was a bad intake mani gasket, when i was going to replace it the far left bolt was loose, so that was pretty much a big hint that was what was wrong.
Car drives great, no stuttering or stumbling, just kinda slow cuz of this heat lol

^^^ Yay! It's always the little things. Good job, man.

Alternator belt isn't too hard... just cumbersome. Gotta get under the car to loosen the alternator bolt.

alright, funny as it may be, all of the protege hate in this thread is stopping now. Yes, it's not the most reliable motor in the world. We get it. It's still a great car and if suddenly you don't like them because you got something 'better', please, go post somewhere else.

 

[THE Phen]

Mine still runs, even tho it shouldn't. But point noted.

 

[JDMJNKY]

Yea that was the valve cover that was your's working on the hood now.

 

[ScratchNSniff]

He did a good job fixing it up...hood should look good like that...it will compliment the silver...

 

[ScratchNSniff]

BTW, I searched and searched, I am sure there is a how-to on here for the MSP turbo kit on the P5, but where?...

 

[fishdonotbounce]

what do you need to know? ECU? Oil and coolant lines? It's all pretty simple. Just take off the old, put in the new.

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Mainly about the oil/coolant lines...where they go, what sizes I need to order and get put on...that kind of stuff...
