What have you done to your P5 today?

I installed the massive 138db horn my kids bougt me for fathers day. Guess they got tired of me saying thier scooters had more manly sounding horns?! :)
 
Autocrossed the hell out of it, it was a blast. The boost felt awesome! Also I think I got more like 20mpg today versus my earlier recorded 14mpg :D

No, no KB bushings. Do these just replace the bushings in the bottom of the shifter itself? I don't have them, and have still been really happy with the tight, precise action of the B&M. I tried Katya4me's shifter at one point, she had the bushings, and either the B&M or the KB shifter (I don't remember which) and I found it a little too stiff.

I'll mention them to Lee, but he's so happy with his B&M over the long, sloppy stocker right now, I don't expect he'll be looking to tighten it up anytime soon!

they replace the bushings up front, not on the shifter itself. if you need pics i'll take mine. i have the twm ones, the only dif is they are blue instead of yellow like the KB

no mazdas in korea?
Hyundai, Daewoo, and Kia rule the road; Japanese cars are very rare over there--I only saw two Accords.

There's a healthy aftermarket scene--I saw quite a few modded Tiburons (called the Tuscani). :)
 
I, on the other hand, drove my p5 600 miles roundtrip to Montreal, the city of Mazdas. I swear there is at least 2 mazdas on every block there. Everywhere you look there's proteges, p5s, 3s, 6s (lots of fastback models there too). Even saw a few msp's!

I filled up gas on the way there and over an entire tank of gas I got 32 mpg!!! woot woot
 
google video

also, depending on your version of Windows (assuming you run windows) you can use MovieMk.exe to edit said videos into one video so the effect of your horn can be felt to a greater extent.

I found that it's pretty intuitive, although it's feature lite.

Finally got to drive her for the first time in a week. She got some rest in the garage while the wifey and I took the kiddies to Disney World last week.......Now I need a vacation...... She's gunna sit for another week and a half while I head to Dallas on Thurs...........kinda sux. I still have to get the front end fixed after the woodchuck from a month or so ago..........
 
Damn.....a woodchuck?........Or Chuck Norris? Lol. Glad to hear you took her out for a spin.

I'm gonna clay her up today and then NXT Tech Wax her tonight after work. (naughty)
 
well...i am in the process of hacking my wheel locks off since the key cracked in half. two down two to go. i gotta go buy two more sockets though. they are like 2.69 a piece. and pep boys wanted 20 dollars A WHEEL to take them off. wtf? ghetto rig time

the last one is being a huge PITA. i even super-glued the socket to it after beating it on, and it still wont break lose. :(

Soo....that means I can run a full sized spare, right?
