What have you done to your P5 today?

Man, I'm tired

You're not the only one. I did 56 miles of bike riding to and from work plus all the wrenching.. all on 2 hours of sleep after wrenching on the car hardcore for 11 hours. I'm just glad I'll be able to be a lazy American and drive to work tomorrow. I have a feeling today's soreness may get worse.
 
I have to say Chris, you are much more determined and ambitious than I... Congrats that she's all back up and running. :)

Determined to never let my car see the dealership for stuff :P

The only thing my car has ever had done to her that I didn't do was a computerized 4-wheel alignment.. and various tire mountings, but I usually just bring the place my wheels when I do that. Oh and once I let a friend change my oil since he worked at a shop but.. well I was there the whole time watching haha.
 
P5's been at the bodyshop for the past week :( For those that feel that their suspension is a tad on the "firm" side, go down to your local Enterprise rent a car a pick up one of these bad-boys for a couple days ... behold the '06 Saturn Ion. The driving sensation is difficult to put into words ... but I'll try. "Driving the '06 Ion makes you feel like a fat lady wearing high heels in an isolation chamber". More descriptive would be "Driving the '06 Ion is like placing an oven mitt on your cock and trying to have sex".

Fortunately, my perpetually dirty drivetrain mule is available (glare).

Here are some pics of the rear strut brace I've started fabricating for my Astina. Only in the early stages at the moment, but shouldn't take me too long to get it finished if I get stuck into it.

we will make an exception for you. you can post what you did to your rx8 here ok?
It'll get boring after the 5th time he posts asking if someone forgot the torque.

I keed I keed. I love the rotaries, apex seal issues an all.

edit: my car should be nice and happy right now sitting with the engine block heater on all night (need to find a timer that can handle 450 watts.. don't want to spent the money saved by not warming the car up in the morning in the winter on electricity to run the engine block heater all night.. conservation is fun :P)
 
Hey there. Still pretty new to the forum. Bought my P5 three weeks ago. Just added a rack, rims, and a cute little stubby antenna; got rid of that crappy front plate.

Looks good!

When I first looked at your picture I thought "what kind of Back to the Future lightning rod is that on top of your car?". Then I put the bong down and realized it was a lamp post. Cool picture. Good color choice.
