What have you done to your P5 today?

Detailed the engine bay for the first time since I've owned the car. Looked like it had never been cleaned. It's looking good now! Also detailed the tires/wheels and used Meguiar's Endurance tire dressing. I love that stuff - lasts for a few weeks instead of 2 days and has a nice balance between satin and gloss.

I wanted to wash the car, but there isn't enough daylight left to get all that done in one evening after work.
 
Oh yea. I think I made my P5 jealous.

^^^are you on air bags?? :) Seriously nice car.

Trip to WalMart on the lunch break in pouring rain to buy a toilet repair kit.
 
Well yesterday I got turned down from 6 shops I asked to do my MPI install before I got referred to a guy not too far away who does lots of hondas and such.
But I picked up some dremel attachments and I am rarin to start porting and polishing the Street Unit intake mani.
Also got to get that IAC cleaned...
 
well as long as the problem is in the HID system and not the car's wiring, it should be an easy tracing job, especially if you don't have a helios kit where the ignitor and ballast are separate units.
 
You guys know how I love to entertain you at my expense. ;) 2 of my gauges had red "condoms" as Mark calls them. One was still close to red, the other, not so much. Tonight, I decided to take em both off so it would at least be the same color, be it white. When I took the boost gauge off I heard it hissing, awesome. leak. I tried movin the line and tightening the fitting with the same result, then it came to me. Gum! It'll be fixed this weekend, but hey, it works for now! (first)

Thanks.

Well installed the new RR caliper, bled all the brakes, greased all the calipers, pulled the malfunctioning 6 CD player, swapped the cassette player and put the single CD player back in.

Oh yeah, she turned 120,000 today.
