What have you done to your P5 today?

[NateTheGreat]

Well, I ordered a plethora of parts to change while doing the timing belt. Timing belt itself, tensioner, tensioner spring, idler, crank seal, cam seals, water pump w/gasket, thermostat w/gasket, both accessory belts. Already have valve cover gasket - I might try to find a 626 valve cover and 1.8L coilpack to complete that conversion while I'm at it, since I also have 1.8L plug wires. Should be tons of fun.

What is this ford fusion brake swap you speak of?

same as mazda6 swap..

 

[JaLMP5]

Alright, was assuming that but wasn't positive.

 

[CR3 Motorsports]

Im not positive either, but I guess we will find out. =)

 

[JaLMP5]

Let us know what you find, might give me something to look for in the junkyard.

 

[CR3 Motorsports]

I got it through Car-Part.com for both calipers it was $100 shipped to me.

 

[Shi-Fu JaY]

Mazda6, ford fusion, mercury milan, lincoln zephyr all share the same brake.
Careful when getting mazda6 calipers that your ordering from the newer models since they're larger

 

[CR3 Motorsports]

Yea I picked up the 08 ford fusion calipers. Going to do the swap next Sunday.

^ Sexy.


Let her sit in the garage all weekend while I spent time with other ladies:
1. Got the 4G63 for the galant vr4 mostly ready to swap in: new timing belt, tensioners, water pump, BSD, gaskets, etc. Just waiting on a replacement valve cover and need to remove a broken stud from the head
2. Installed OEM LED tails on the GF's MZ3 sedan

New brake fluid and Redline transmission fluid last night. Also realized the squeak from the rear is most likely the endlink bushings. Hello, AWR? I need more wear items!

 

[Lewis7789]

^^^ Progress.

Vacuumed it last night. Front drivers door speaker and both tweeters don't make noise. :/

^ Some places will grease your door hinges when you get an oil change. It's nice to have an grease gun around the house though

 

[Lewis7789]

Cam, what? I don't think one should grease speakers...

 

[JDM_Pro5]

That's what I get for working, talking on the phone, and trying to read forums. Thought he said "Front doors squeak, also tweeters don't work"

FML

 

[Mookhaasa]

lol. I might grease the doors any way thanks for the tip.
