What have you done to your P5 today?

Snow??!!! You could always go to the slopes with the manmade stuff and then come home and enjoy the warm weather to mod/fix/wash the car!!!

Manmade snow sucks. Not a very good substitute for snow.

Trip to Montreal got scrapped. Need to switch over to the winter tires this weekend, snow on Monday.
 
not the P5 since she's nicely tucked in for winter, but i need to pick up some oil for the 626. it has to be regular dino juice since she's got a minor cam seal leak - hoping it doesn't get worse over winter. right now, she just leaves a little oil on the driveway, so i want to top her up since she's not due for a full change until jan or so.

any suggestions for what oil to get? she's got about 290k km on her, and i haven't bought regular oil for a long time - morrigan only gets amsoil.

The subtle painted front emblem mod (used leftover paint from the 'paint your headlights' meet). Damn my pics always come out shaky when I don't use my flash.

**edit**Flash pic added

looks nice... twin!
 
Drove another 2 miles today...and that will be it for the next 3 days. Got to keep the mileage down.

Weekend plans:
I'm hoping to get the MSP exhaust installed this weekend. Also, I have the new hardware for my AWR sway/endlinks, and hope to finally get that sorted out.
 
d00d! TPIWWP!


(on secont thought that post is better with out pics....)
 
hmm.

My brain is dead right now.. how do the motor mount #s go on our cars again? Front is #2, but what is 3? which is rear?

I think I need a new trans side mount, even with the AWR front mount and solid inserts for the rear mount, nothing is smooth or anything and I still have wheelhop. I want to replace my rear motor mount insert with something OEM or maybe slightly upgrade (I know at least one of the mounts on the mazdaspeed was upgraded) and then get the RF turbodiesel front motor mount with maybe the automatic crossmember and roll damper.

my engine still moves a bunch with the rear inserts in, and all the motion is on the tranny side, since that is the only mount with an orientation that doesn't at all lend itself to reducing fore/aft motion.
 
Not sure about # order but I replaced mine one by one as they went out. The passenger side tore due to me not loosening it while dropping the driver side to do my clutch. Very shortly after I did the rear when it tore, then after I blew my tranny and replaced it I did the front. I was going to do the tranny side but didn't seem like it would do much more. I have absolutely no wheel hop and stay planted very nicely. I don't have an LSD yet and haven't AutoX'ed so that may be a different story for you.

Watched "Italian Job" again, damn those Minis are nice. Opps...did I say that. Ah s***...cats out of the bag anyway.
