What have you done to your P5 today?

[Beemer_Killer]

Put DGM CF headlight covers on.

 

[aMaff]

CF...headlight....covers....? Like, they cover the headlight? Totally?

 

[Beemer_Killer]

mmmmhmmmm

I'll be saving my headlights from rock destruction at the track or whereever else i wanna go. They use a little doublesided at the corners at the top of the lens, and the front hood seal to hold them on. They are easily removed for night driving.

I have mine in the standard CF color.

i put some cheap-o dynamat stuff in my door panels and isolated all the rattles in the doors too. Rattle free music! Yay!!

PS- and touched up my wax job from a few days ago.

ooooh, ok, gotcha. That makes a lot more sense lol

i put my new luminic bulbs from the street unit gb in and installed a new hu with a sirius tuner. i spent most of the few daylight hours i had installing the lights....i forgot how much of a pain in the ass it is to get to the passenger side headlight. i'll go back and make my temporary sirius tuner/antenna install more permenant when i have more daylight hours to work in. it got freaking cold once sundown came and i wasn't about to start removing trim panels and wiring things properly. i can't wait for summer...

oh... and just to let you guys know....the luminic bulbs kick ass!

i pushed my p5 past the limit of traction today. entering a cloverleaf turnoff (rated for 25) at 55. i am trying to master the art of left foot braking. well, i got about a quarter of the way down the ramp and looked at the speedo- damn, just under 60. not fast enough- so i gave 'er more gas. got about 2/3's the way down and the back end started comming around. stupid me... oversteer means more gas, less brake. well, my left foot didn't understand that and just pressed harder on the brake until it locked up and i was facing the center of the clover leaf. turning as hard left as i can, nothing happened... just kept spinning until i was facing back up the ramp. at this point brakes are fully locked and i am sliding towards the rail. i finally came to a stop about 3 feet from the rail still facing up the ramp, looking at a streak of tire crumbs laying next to big dark tire skids, haha! when i tried to start it back up, nothing would happen. that is when i realized i still had the brake pressed hard... lol moving my foot back to the clutch corrected the starting problem, and then i drove away- a bit slower... moral of the story- practice makes perfect! zoom zoom!! lol

 

[aMaff]

HS 63 huh? Moral of the story: Keep practice off of heavily trafficed roads (read: Interstate.....), and on the autocross course...

I'm glad you, the car, and more importatnly anyone else weren't hurt tho

 

[Protege52003]

going to wash/clean interior tonight!maybe some pics to follow?????

might put my konigs back on since we are not getting snow!

 

[wildo]

aMaff- actually the turnoff was totally clear of traffic, or i wouldn't have tried such driving. anyway- i am glad nothing was hurt as well. oh yeah- old pic, it is actually 71 STS now... lol

 

[aMaff]

good. I'm considering STS in the future, but for now it's a bit cost prohibitive for me. Plus, I want to try my hand at R-Comps and see how she likes those in stock form

r-comp? road racing?

 

[aMaff]

race tires. U can run those in Stock class for Solo2. I wanna get a set of Kumho V710s

 

[wildo]

great looking tire- actaully, looks quite incredible. wouldn't mind running them myself- but they sure are pricy! thanks for the link

 

[aMaff]

they'd bump you to FSP...

 

[snowblazin]

[Rdshark1]

I slapped her a$$ and called her my Beeeoooootch. Then I told her she was a dirty girl...very, VERY dirty.
