received my M6 wiper gonna install later this week and get it freshly washed and waxed for a big bbq meet this weekend
someone took the radio and my oakleys from my car last night 
. only explanation i have is i accidentally left it unlocked when i was bringing in groceries last night. oh well, cant do anything about it. i will call some pawn shops though to give a heads up.
just gonna go back to the factory radio for music for a bit until i figure out what to replace this with

Renewed my insurance today.
In better news... I'm figuring out this Torque app pretty well. However, it's saying I'm averaging 32mpg, even after taking some pretty steep pulls from a dig. AND I apparently only managed to round up 97hp and 101ft-lbs. Not too sure on the accuracy, but I know I need a tuneup. Once I get the settings squared away, I think I'll get some better results.

Ordered a bunch of accessory parts for the KL (timing belt, TB tensioner, water pump, belts and gaskets) and ordered a Mishimoto P5 radiator from CR3 Motorsports.
ps- that sucks beeg time, Kyle. I hate thieves.
I don't see how that Torque app could be very accurate to gauge HP though, mate. But right around 100whp sounds about right.

We don't have an actually MAP sensor we have an egr boost sensor which is behind the passenger strut tower.
make sure to put in the cars weight in the settings to get a better gauge on the hp/torque reading.
and as for the mpg thing, it actually takes about 3 fill ups till it starts getting accurate.
if you have any more questions on it just let me know, i've had mine for a few months now and it works perfectly

Swapped out my old rear wiper for a fresh M6 one. Currently not functional because I only trimmed the plastic from washer.

My P5 thinks it's a Pontiac:
It recently started making a tinny rattling noise at high-load/low-rpm (Ie. when s***'s gettin' jiggy), I didn't see that coming...

parts store didnt have any brake pads or rotors in stock 0.0
i said screw it and decided to just wait a bit and get some online.
now im debating what pads to get. i currently have green stuff and they are great, but i've never had any other kind of pads on the P5.
any opinions?

Stoptech street performance are pretty good, I noticed a large difference compared to regular medium-grade pads. You can get Brembo blank rotors from ImportRP for pretty cheap (iirc it was $150 for all four corners).
It's been awhile since I did mine, but isn't that all that needs to be done for the swap?
