What have you done to your P5 today?

[Brian MP5T]

it does fit in the garage!!

Only if it's touching the refriggerator...

eBay baby! My gasket was fine so I reused it. There are 4 spots for the sealent which you will see next to the cam gears. The rest of the gasket just uses some oil.

oh crap when I was wiping down that surface the other day I think I may have removed some of that sealant. Anyone know what it is so I can apply some or if it's really that important?

oh and .. at 71k miles my timing belt looked mint still, even with a LOWES "assorted spring pack" spring acting as the tensioner spring. One of these days I'll have time to open her back up and fix that.

You can get this stuff anywhere

Nice talking with you about the cars this weekend. I'll have to see your P5 next time.

Yeah, same here Hopefully we will go in my car next year though to be honest, it's nearly identical to his. Mid-blue, tinted tails, gunmetal rims, tinted windows, dropped, etc. When they're beside each other, I keep thinking the plates "DEJA" and "VU" should be on them.

Cable43 - you can get them from Ken for $70 iirc. At least, that's where I got mine

[susamafone]

[Breeegz]

yeah, I heard the ladder bar only weighs 4 pounds compared to 15 pounds of the stock variety

Had to let her sit in the parking lot at work until 1030pm. I had an allergic reaction to some medication I took and was carted away on an ambulance and spent the remainder of the day in the hospital, woohoo! I think it's her revenge for me stripping her recently, ha! (ughdance) I actually like the way she is now, who knows what the future will bring. Time will tell...

 

[Breeegz]

I had a tire go flat/low

at the begining of my 40 mile drive to work...

 

[altspace]

I had the ladder bar. You really can't tell a difference and since it's tucked way underneath you can't see it. Just note that you will need a grinder to cut down 2 little metal nubs on the subframe. They are part of drainage holes and will cut into the bar if not removed.

My bar:

I drove 150 miles with a nail in my tire, and made it home just in time to get it patched
