What have you done to your P5 today?

[Chicoloco]

which adapter are you using? or are you just using the gps on the android device?

This is the one I'm using:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ELM327-Blue...t=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item4ab5007ecf

... but just about any ELM327 adapter should work. You can get them cheaper than the $26 I paid for mine. I use the GPS WITH the OBDII scanner to calculate the speed difference between the computer and GPS as wells as log some trips.

All-in-all, $30 for a decent product that can do more than those $100+ OBDII scanners can... not to mention it reads CEL codes and can reset them. Get one braj!!!!!

 

[Chicoloco]

will certainly do! Thanks for the info.

 

[jdmdude07]

The only problem is... while the app supports a whole slew of inputs, the MP5s and MP3s are unable to utilize a lot of them. I'm not sure how the MSPs fair, being there is a plug-in specifically for the MSP, but I wish we had more.

Oil feed line popped off at the turbo spewing 4 quarts of oil all over my engine bay and onto the ground....

Would a barbed fitting work for the turbo feed line?

tried to adjust the bumper and fix the gap but no go. the driver side will just not align its pissing me off.

its like the llittle tab that goes by/into the headlight side of it wont go it and pops the bumper out

(rant)

 

[JDM_Pro5]

I think you can put a bolt into it. There is a tab there and it fits into the headlight sleeve looking thing. Jack the car up, get under there, and MAKE it stay >:0

 

[RicoP5]

yeah idk if a bolt will go in from the bottom of that black headlight piece. ill have to take my time and get under it right after work before the mosquitoes come out and eat me alive like they did alst night.

or maybe is it because p5 headlight and sedan bumper? dont think so but who knows.

Backed out of the carport this morning and heard a thump, thump. Got out and my DS front was flat (this is the same tire that went flat on me last summer but was in the rear at the time). So jacked up the front with the stock jack and the rear with the floor jack and swapped the DS rear to the front and put the donut on the rear. After that I swung over to Jack Williams where they confirmed it could be fixed and then did so. Humid as hell out at 7:10 in the morning but at least it wasn't pouring!

And I did get rid of my rattle last weekend by removing the lower heat shield on the j-pipe. Now I just gotta get the clunk in the suspension figured out.

Replace my old bad radiator. I buy Nissens 62403, he is almost 2 times wider and install new red silicone ignition wires Tesla T248P!

for clunk check your ball joints

 

[CTt3P5]

^^^that's what I'm leaning towards at this point in time.

 

[RicoP5]

that was my clunk noise. drove me crazy for weeks. i checked all my suspension but that lol. then did and was like (boom01) there we go..

 

[Lewis7789]

Ivanich, good find! But is that for an automatic? Might be why it's thicker for the automatic tranny fluid cooler.
