What have you done to your P5 today?

[reynoldsrobbie]

Thanks! That worked. I'm still on the fence as to these and a combo of filled mounts, or the SU mounts. I've run the AWR mounts and felt that the interior vibs were too much ...

Ill let you know on the SU mounts. Whenever I get them, that is. I ordered them almost 3 months ago!

Doh! Yeah, that would be worth a trip out for a ride-along before I drop those bills ...

hey Bala let me know what you think of those mounts. I have a atx and thinking aobut putting aftermarket mounts on it. I already have the front awr installed and the other mounts are shot.

Will do - jeez, the "auto" durometer AWR front mount on my ATX P5 turned the dash into a paint shaker when I was in gear at a stop light. That lasted about a week ...

Bala, your header is pretty

Was pretty. 1 1/2 years later - a little less so: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3109515&postcount=20 It's all good, turns out Jet-Hot has a three year warrenty. Mine was sterling 1300, don't consider anything less than there new sterling extreme - mine's going in to be re-coated.

Weid I have the AWR 90 duro on the front and its not bad at all... well its worse now due to my rear being shot but 153k ont he rear mount you can't except it to last long.

Edit: some times its pretty bad but thats only when my car acts like it wants to stall and the rpms go up and down a little. I need to pull my EGR and clean it.

the side mounts aren't out yet....i talked to them and they said they should be out mid next week. they will be shipping from the machinist on monday so they should be shipping from SU soon after. i think i am gonna get the whole engine kit. mine are to hell w/ only 42k on it....

 

[bucksatan]

Washed and waxed the P5 in prepartion for driving to timmins tomorrow. At some point in the process told the car I loved it.

i love my filled mounts from NSN - definitely helps with wheel hop and engine movement, and there is barely any increase in vibration over stock. personally, i would recommend them unless you're planning to put out 200+whp, then they may not be enough...

I got the sides and rear, since I already have the SLS front installed already.

P5's love sweet-talk...

was going to fill the tank of the p5, but it looks like it might sit in the garage for another week

yea idk if i will be able to do the rear. i guess i'll have to take it somewhere to get that done. i dont think i trust myself takin everything off that needs to be off to access it. i'd be afraid i'd mess somethin up puttin it back together.

Today I did started on the Katzkins leather install. I have both rear seats done but because it is my girls b-day I didn't finnish. Cinceo de Meyo FTW. Tomorrow I am going to finnish both seats - clean the interior completly and take some pictures of the finnished interior. Next weekend will be even more fun as I build my fiberglass sub box.

add my name to the list of p5s that have been wrecked.

tell me about it.
cracked the front bumper, pushed the driver side quarter panel in (can be fixed though its not that bad), bent the core support, broke the left radiator bracket, and broke off the lower grill. i ripped the upper one off because i was pissed and because the hood wouldnt close (grill got shoved upwards). oh yea the passenger headlight is sunk in a little bit (not too bad) but none of the lights were broken which is really good.
im still probably gonna be out about $800. hopefully i can find an msp/p5 bumper for sale on the forums for semi cheap.

Are you going through insurance? I had an accident similar to that and it was nearly $4000 in damages. My repair list was all most identical. If you can do if for $800 I will be super impressed. Good luck.

hmm if its 4 grand i wont fix it. i know a few people so im hopin to get hooked up. my buddy todd said he would paint my new bumper for me when i get it, and i have a friend at a garage that can probably hook me up with straighting out the core support and fixing the radiator support (which now that i think about it is only bent, not broken). as far as the fender goes it doesnt look bent it just looks pushed back, so hopefully the brackets for that arent destroyed and can be bent back as well.
id be more concerened if the headlights had broken, theyre far from cheap.
