What have you done to your P5 today?

[Bonks]

Your welcome. If I didn't get a white P5 I wanted a yellow one. Pardon the question but what front lip is that on your car?

I wish mine was white! & it's a polyurethane subaru WRX ebay lip modified to fit

Nice... love the shaved rear end... the word 'Donk' on there is confusing me... I thought that was when you lift the car like a 4x4 and put 30" rims on it...(boom07)

word thanks, and hahah, you got it. it's a joke I guess, my summer car is relatively low so that is "donked" to me.

I don't know why but I like the pass. mirror cap and what looks to be camo. I wish I had winter tires. I've decided that if I get a loan for a Speed this summer, I'm keeping the P5 for winter duty

^ thanks!

Winter mode for me

I love that roof basket, what model is it?

Still struggling to get the rear wiper motor nut free.... tomorrow another heat cycle & some PB blaster. then bringing out the air tools.
hopefully i can pull it out pending the motor is still good & unsieze the arm shaft.
Tonight i finally looked @ new replacement motors & im not really anxious to spend ~$150

Then don't, try and get a used one for much, much cheaper. ScratchNSniff on here has a lot of used OEM parts and I'm sure he probably has a motor.

It's a Princess Auto basket - good price too

tried the search feature for that screen-name with no results ( PS the search feature here blows goat nuts)
i did manage to get that damn nut off. but it took the aluminum threads with it.
tested & examined the motor & it is bad- so now im on the hunt for a good working unit.

God does white look so clean. Car looks great. BBK looks great. Puts mine to shame. I wish I was able to do half the things you've done to yours. Where did you get the mirrors from? I didn't notice them at first, but they look like pretty nice. No offence, as it's your car, but that sub takes up a bit of space in the hatch. Mind you, I don't know how much you generally carry back there. Those wheels look exceedingly clean. I really can't fault the car at all (bar the sub, but to each their own ) I took away functionality majorly but putting a rear strut brace back there. At least you can remove the sub if need be... Lol

EDIT: Disregard the inquiry about the mirrors. Checked your garage out and found where. Like I said though, they look nice.

Thanks for the compliments. The sub does get in the way only when doing grocery shopping. I use the back seats for the rest of the shopping bags whenever my 2 daughters are not with us and whenever they're with us at the time, I make them hold the bags on their laps. LOL.

 

[bpt323]

I really like those side mirrors.

look to be semi pricy on ebay. but they do look good!

crossed 225k miles. my dad didnt think i should buy it with 120k back in 2009. I like to remind him how many miles i have on a regular basis lol

 

[31N007]

And here I am with 89K on the clock and I had to rebuild the motor. Just goes to show that good care can take a car a long way. Good on ya for getting that much out of her. Might want to update the signature to reflect the miles

 

[Luken10]

That is sweet to be able to say that. I hope to be able to say the same to my dad haha. 156,000 right now, so I've got quite a bit to go!
