What have you done to your P5 today?

Sorry to hear. Glad you're alright though.

Is this a confirmation that you're parting some of the salvageable pieces out?

If so, please PM me before posting a FS thread.

-thanks!

He had mentioned in another thread that he had no time for a part out. Can't blame him though. Things can be rather hecktic with a newborn. I would really like to get his doors from him though.

no part out, they wanted 2k plus deductible so $2500 and I would have had to pay to tow it. It was 100% stock so just not worth in my opinion.
 
Spent the morning vacuuming glass from all my seats, floor, and inside the door because my window got smashed and my laptop bag stolen (with laptop) last night...

Damn circuit! That sucks! Did you see them, or hear them? Have any idea who it was?
 
That really sucks, man. Sorry to hear. My girlfriend will try to be cute and leave a $20 bill in my cup holder when we get back from dinner somewhere. And I'm always like "Stop that. Do you want people to break into my car for a $20 bill?".

On topic, I put my rear wiper delete plug in the P5. I picked up a couple spare plugs if anyone wants one. Or if anyone wants the working wiper motor. heh-heh.

I've got so much stuff in my garage I need to post up for sale. It's just always raining on the weekends.

I'll betcha the thieves didn't even try the door, smash and grab and run.

Sucks man, I hope the laptops covered.. and it wasn't full of personal information
 
i figured it was in his driveway, and i was wondering why he would leave his laptop in there. it makes sense since he was at a restaurant... but that is pretty ballsy to be breaking into a car that in public like that.
 
bought me a super clean titane msp lip for... 200$ =]

oh and yea circuit that sucks, ive had my mirror smashed while I was at a cinema, i was dumb enough to park RIGHT NEXT to a silver p5 (like mine) with a broken mirror..
sucks man, i mean glass is harder to replace than a mirror :/
 
The more efficient the turbo is, the less heat it makes.

Giant intercoolers are just like giant throttle bodies.

I had a huge one for the GT28, but the odd thing in regards to the size is that the hole in the front of the car is no larger than this FMIC.

It will be more than fine.
 
Core looks kinda small for 400+ hp no? Unless it is ridiculously more efficient than the Turbolife?

I thought the same thing but seeing the rest of Brians work, who am I to question lol. Glad I wasn't the only one..

On topic; I took her for a rip on my local twisty roads, got pulled over, talked my way outta a ticket (or something). Absolutely love this car in the curves! KL FTW

+1!!! I was messin' around with some guy in a 325i on a couple back roads today, whenever we came to a straight he would totally pull away, but whenever a turn comes up I catch right up and have to slow down for him. I always love the look on their faces when you gain 50ft on them in like a half second.
 
The core is double the thickness of the one I removed and as I said, I have been running a huge Intercooler since 2003. So large that I removed the metal bumper to install it. Sure it looked baller... But none of it was getting any air because it was behind the plastic. I was pushing the living s it out of the 28 well beyond its comfort zone.

If it becomes evident that it is not able to remove heat, I will start by making a 4" CAI... But I'm comfortable that it will be fine
 
Washed the 5 and detailed the interior today.
Driving on newly installed yellow speed coils and chassis braces (forgot the brand of em), it feels good.
Now getting a horrible noise from driver side, i think its trans related, theres a bit of play with the drive shaft. Pops all the time, will have to get it checked out tomorrow. Hopefully its just loose or something
