What have you done to your P5 today?

[denim]

You could do them in the parking lot at the office? If needed, I could ship you my shop light to work by? haha Hardest part of the rsb will be the endlinks. If they are not rusted out, piece of cake. See if you could borrow a neighbor's driveway for a half hour or so while you are out sick from work.

Great idea, but not at this office. Do appreciate the thought. It's ok though, I know it's done right and I rarely have to take this car in for much of anything.

Only thing about the sway bar, I am wondering if the the 2" longer end links are going to effect ride height at all.

The end links won't effect ride height.

hmm... interesting.

Just becareful of the cops, more than 4 lights will draw attention

I know its not you who has the lights but, isn't there a dual fog light switch in JDM p5s? I.e. One that controls the front fogs and one that works the rear (hence not the us spec ones at least). For an oem look, perhaps robbt88 could use that switch and wire up the second set on that switch?

Im sure there was a better way to word that :S

I current have no fog lights. I took mine out when installing my MSP bumper and have yet to craft new ones. You can go to an auto store and buy a simple rocker switch and wire it to the second set of fog lgihts

Uploaded a video I took yesterday bought a new camera mount and wanted to try it out, not the most interesting. Shoot the video with my Kodak PlaySport on 720p 60fps.

nice vid. that looks like some jacked up pavement though.

 

[92BigJohn]

Yea its not the best They where repairing it earlier this Summer I cut out about 20 minutes of the drive there was some nicer road on it but still better than a lot of roads around Nova Scotia.

I took off the old tint off the 7 windows... I think it was the stock tint but took it off with a steamer...piece of cake

 

[Sleezer1533]

Steamer FTW!

 

[jdmdude07]

I wouldn't recommend turning the volume up too loud... unless you want to make the whole office happy.

^^^ I posted that in the video thread for ya.

I was on my way to take an exam today when my P5 started chugging. I though, "just a bump in the road; no big deal." Then it started happening more and I thought, "s***, this is NOT what I need today." So, lucky for me the dealer where I bought the car was just behind me so I took her there. We looked at the plugs and they were in OK shape - not excellent, but not corroded - not to mention they were loose. If that wasn't the fix, then the coil was most likely shot. So, he told me to change the plugs and see if that solved the issue. Went to Autozone and got a set of NGK's and realized that I don't have a spark plug socket with the tools I bought (now that I have my own tools) and the extension isn't long enough to reach the plug. SO... over to ACE I go and got the tools I needed for cheap. I get home, change the cylinder 3 plug but to not avail. CRAP!!!! I'm already late for an exam and don't have the time or the money to rip this b**** apart.

On a whim I decided to check if the wires were even sparking. As I pulled out the cylinder 3 wire, it was arcing all over the place. s***..... AWESOME!!!! The boots were all dry and cracked inside the cylinder. I threw my tools in the car and closed up the house and went BACK to Autozone in hopes that they had a set in stock. Just my luck, I got the LAST SET!!!!! So, I pulled off both coils and changed all 4 plugs and swapped the wires. BOOM!!!! Purrs like a kitten.

Moral of the story... check plugs and wires when buying a used car.

I still missed my exam though. Rescheduled.
