What have you done to your P5 today?

[meinp5]

Waiting for a final payment from client so I can have something extra to put down for the RX-8. Then it's test driving time. Wish I lived closer to the dealers.

I'm assuming your expecting that payment pretty soon?

quick question...when my car is IN gear, their is a lot of sideways play with the shifter...SS was put in a few days ago w/ the poly bushings...is it supposed to move sideways that much when its IN gear?

 

[whitemp5seattle]

I don't think so...I have the kartboy shifter bushings which are made of some hard plastic material and when I'm in gear my shifter doesn't move at all...it's locked pretty damn tight in gear. I also have a B&M shifter. Are you sure all the bolts are tightened and nothing has come loose?

 

[whitemp5seattle]

when I installed my kartboy bushings I didn't screw the bolt in tightly enough...and it worked it's way out a few days later! luckily I found them in my school's parking lot (where I thought they had fallen out). I reinstalled them and screwed them so tight I don't think they'll ever come off ever again (should've used some of that threadlocker stuff)

but anyway, when the shifter bushings fell out my shifter was like jelly...not fun

when you don't have time/space/tools/equipment/knowledge - or access to the aforementioned - to do it yourself, unfortunately, yes
