What have you done to your P5 today?

[JDM-P5]

Installed HIDs.
pure sex.

 

[Yaggie1]

Drove her to and from work today with the new OBX and Racing Beat goodies on. I am pleasantly surprised by the performance.

i have my plate in my windshield and i get no trouble but its not supposed to be there.

MP3's in GS. MSP's in DS.

that makes no sense because the cooper s is in GS and that is sucha close comparo.

 

[aMaff]

I know, I know, why do you think they clean up in GS for the most part?

The Mini SHOULD be in GS, and the CooperS should be in DS, but what can you do?

well yesterday I was heading home and on the way back sitting at a redlight my deck, and mirror/compass would both turn off.. it also did this randomly when I was on the highway the deck would just turn right off. So i got home and took off my grounding kit figuring that was the problem. Of course it turns out that the grounding kit wasnt the problem just that when I re-crimped the factory ground to hook it up to my grounding kit it wasn't on tight enough.. awesome!

So if anyone wants a grounding kit let me know I'm not going to bother putting it back on. (enguard)

I ran over a skunk this morning on my way in... yes, my car smells now. It's really gross.

I was watching an espisode of Myth Busters and they had a home made solution that you can make to get rid of the smell..I will look around and see if I can find it.

I did that on the first day that I had my license. It was in a 1997 Dodge Intrepid 3.5 SE, which sucks because it had clotch seats. I somehow think it would be easier to get that stench out with leather seats (less absorbent?). It took about a week of febreeze and having the windows open 24/7 (unless raining).

Now I know to avoid at all costs

I feel your pain, one day I ran over one also and when I got to work some of my co-workers said they could actually smell it on me! (ughdance)

As far as my P5 and I, I let the wifey take her to work (nervous) ... on the brighter side my eyelids arrived ready to paint. (thumb)

Those eBay grounding kits suck ass. I think the metal they use is not conductive enough or that the plating blocks it.

i installed my apexi grounding kit and now my headlights dont dim on deep bass notes and i changed the oil in the car today. washing it tomorrow on my day off and cleaning the interior. its filthy

at least they don't blow main fuses and stuff.

what did I do to my.. hmmm. Well if all the pieces fall into place, I will be removing the MP3 ecu from my car, taking a picture of it, and shipping it out.

oh yeah and buying a mint MSP turbo

^^ my main reason for getting HIDs was to stop the dimming.. I have an underdrive pulley and a 200W RMS subwoofer so with that and the lights on, wipers, and anything else.. yeah bad dimming.

 

[kudakev615]

well i should say interior lights. my hids dont dim but my guages and such did a lil. HIDS FTW!!

 

[Salmon_Rob]

o yeah, i detailed it last night...hold on, i have a pic. i couldnt look directly into the p5, it was hazardous to my eyesight

my fan "dims" a lot when I come to a stop. Gotta sit and rev the engine to keep it blowing fast lolz. yay UDP!

Chris...I am one step behind you. I just spent the past hour working w/ someone on the forums to buy a MSP stock turbo. I am excited and hope I can work out. I also hope it works out for you so you can stop all that talk of buying "that other car".

J/K.........G/L

 

[Kansei]

I keep having second thoughts and stuff but I think this is it. I'm going to do this.

I'm going to go out to my car right now and rip out it's soul (MP3 ECU) and go back to the joys of VTCS (P5 ECU) and then take the car for a drive, cry a little, and put her back in the garage for the night. Then I'll go ahead and click the "send payment" button
