What have you done to your P5 today?

[Canadianzoom]

Since last posting on this board I

-Tinted my Altezza tails
-Tinted my side markers
-removed my side moldings

Soon I will be painting my headlight casings to match.

 

[khaosman]

Then you are going to lower it, right? RIGHT???

Looks good... and from that picture, I'm not even hating the altezzas. Need more photographic evidence though!

 

[Canadianzoom]

Lowering is on the list, yes.

I think the Altezza's with the black casing and the night shade turned out REALLY well. Very happy with it.

My new rear wheel bearings came in today. replace those and the rear brakes in a couple of days

 

[magnumP5]

Psst... magnum, ditch that stock ECU junk asap

At least then your CELs will be replaced with more fun problems

I have a Splitsecond AFC V2 sitting in my closet with all the stuff needed to install. I just haven't had the time to figure out where I'm going to mount it and everything. No standalong for me - I like my CEL's

You have been quite busy lately....even saw that you had some time to attend a show.

Today my P5 gave me a good laugh....I drove the MPV to work so I could fill it up for the wife. I then call the wifey to see how things are going and she says "Good, (pause) my boss took your car to get his Aunt." I had to laugh to myself picturing her boss (who normally drives a Mountaineer) picking up his elderly aunt in my car with the MSP axleback and SRI! I asked her when I got home how he liked it. She said that he liked it very much but felt a little cramped.

Get to work then

Today I took off the race wheels and changed my front pads to the Porterfield R4S, also put the lower grille on to keep junk out of the intercooler. Then I cleaned the interior which probably hasn't been done for... oh too freakin' long! I tore the entire center console out and cleaned all the nooks and crannies out using a razor blade, Q-tips, hot water, and then finally some back to black plastic cleaner stuff. Needless to say, it took forever (started at 3 or 4). And with the 90F weather with humidity almost as high as the temperature, I was drippin' sweat like none other.

Anyway, just got back from bedding in the pads. I'm a little pissed because I still heard a squeak from one side of the car. That means more chasing gremlins to figure out what the heck it is. Damn gremlins, they're everywhere!

91,000 miles this morning...........man they go fast !!

 

[Salmon_Rob]

no one wants a beeeeeeeeeeeeeuteful awr sway bar?

 

[magnumP5]

I just remembered I hit 55,000 miles on Sunday - that means over 20,000 miles of ownership for me and I woudn't change a thing.

On another random note. My CEL just disappeared today! It was there when I was driving to class this morning but after class I get to my car, turn it on and TADA! no CEL. I didn't do anything... weird

 

[Yaggie1]

I gots the Progress already. Just curious, why do you want to switch ?

[Salmon_Rob]

i dont need the adjustability. its a waste to have it if someone actually wants to dial in their bar themselves

 

[Yaggie1]

gotcha

 

[Salmon_Rob]

how do you like the progress?

 

[CTt3P5]

haha...good story jeff! to cramped? what is he a big guy?? my brothernlaw is 6'-3" and he fits fine!

He is about the same size....guess he is just used to the size of his Mountaineer, that and it is probably easier to get out in/out of his too. haha

 

[Yaggie1]

Works nicely, definitely tightens up the handling. I have only had it on since like March but, I am on stock struts with Eibach springs and 91,000 miles and haven't had any of the dreaded tab breaking problems that I have heard about after guys have installed it......

how do you like the progress?

Since we reattached the stock O2 sensor, my CEL has come and gone about 4 or 5 times - currently it's on. I haven't gone to Autozone to double-check that the code(s) are the same as previously (and I should, just to make sure), but I'm really thinking something is jacked up in the wiring there somewhere. *sigh*

On a more infuriating note, someone gouged my rear bumper yesterday, leaving several nice deep scratches in it. No, it will not buff out. (argh) I'm thinking some jacka** wasn't watching how he was parking at the theatre last night (either pulling in or backing out) and nicely scraped me while doing so. Unfortunately because it was dark when we left the theatre I didn't notice anything. I am SOOOOOOO pissed off by this. Thankfully one of hubby's former coworkers owns a body shop. That's the only silver lining to this cloud right now...
