What have you done to your P5 today?

PA just recently went to salt on the roads, didn't they? I know that Sharon used a lot of sand and cinders.

Where I live as far as I know they been using salt forever been here 20+ years.Just got back from the company xmas party and man I need to lay down too many drink's (beer) lol.
 
Took a wheel off to test some of these:

Got a new map for the SSAFC. once I get the intake manifold from scratch ill do a port/polish. Get my exhaust finished =) I think my new dad got me a new muffler for Xmas.

Once I get that done ill be hitting up the Dyno.

Any guesses on how much power im going to make?
 
It actually gets worse. I have a hole in the "frame rail" under the drivers side, near my feet.

I discovered this a while ago, I went and snapped a few pics after I saw your comment.

There's metal behind that hole, I'm not sure how worried I should be...

Any ideas as to what I can fill that with?

170 HP, Bob.

Are we playing with the price is right rules?
 
I made 160 at 4 psi.

Right now the differences from the would be

1. Boost raised to 9.5 psi with a larger crank pulley
2 VTCS removed/Ported Intake manifold
3. 2.5" exhaust w/ high flow cat
4. 440cc injectors
5. FMIC

idk im hoping for at least 215
 
Well after 4 hours of swearing, bleeding fingers, headscratching etc, I have changed the thermostat over! and after a little drive, car now sits on around 85c :D A LOT better then the 109c reading I got off the scangauge today!
 
went and did the headlights turn on and off with ignition mod :D. always jealous of my gf's saab that does this and my uncles toyotas. the fogs now will always stay on unless i hit the fog button so i need to revert from the "fogs always on" mod.

woo woo

No... no real idea. I haven't looked into it yet. When I get a chance later, I'll try to get a picture of mine. I think there are two now.
 
you can weld in a piece of 16 gauge steel and then paint over it with rubberized undercoating
i wouldnt do anything else to it...wouldnt be worth using filler or FG really

Heh, you expect too much from me :)

I have a welder but it's a big 220V stick welder which I've used once (practicing welding s*** together) but I just ended up making a mess. A friend said to just fill the hole with a heavy grease and forget about it but I'm not too keen on that idea either.
