What have you done to your P5 today?

[jeg0024]

Leaving for the track right now, wish me luck and 16.9's

17.002sec @ 81.09mph... so close, broke 80mph for the first time though.

GL!!

Thanks!


PICS!

^^^ Looks like you had fun. I took the P5 to an 1/8th mile track about 3 weeks ago for the first time. It was also the first time I'd done anything like that - definitely a learning experience. Best I could manage was a 10.04 @ 75 mph... I know the P5 is good for mid 9's though

 

[jeg0024]

I think I ran a 10.9 at the 1/8 on one of those runs.

 

[magnumP5]

Yeah I pretty much suck at launching (dunno)

 

[jeg0024]

lol, did you see my r/t times?!

So, Ol' Blue's got reason to be excited because her and her cousin Dory will have a new bedroom in a few weeks. Finally, they don't have to sleep outside while I'm warm inside!

The new place has one of these:

Oh yes, I'm stoked. Srsly. However, notice anything odd? Huge 2 car garage. Single, tiny incandescent bulb. Hmmm, how do we fix this? Well, Ol' Blue had to chip in and do a little work today:

There was a couple selling fluorescent lights on Craigslist. These are all 2x4", 3 bulb grid fluorescents. You'll count 8 in the hatch, and there's a 'hidden' one in the passenger seat. Arrange them 3 x 3, multiply by 3 bulbs each and that's 27 fluorescents in a 2 car garage. It's gonna be bright as a muuuuug in there . Yay for having a workshop!

Oh... they were $15 a pop. Lowes lists equivalent ones at almost $50/ea. Word?

Looks nice aMaff!

Thanks! There's 2 floors above the garage, but they don't really matter as much

 

[jeg0024]

It's always nice to have a garage to keep your cars in, expecially when you gotta go to work on cold mornings.

 

[aMaff]

True, true. But...I'm in Georgia. It get's cold, it doesn't really get COLD.

But I can't really disagree. I don't really enjoy the walk from the apt to the parking lot when it's raining.

However...again with being in Georgia, we haven't had crap for rain in months....

I took the Optima out of my truck and put it in my Prote.

 

[jeg0024]

I have to put my rear seats and subs back in, but im too tired.

Picked up some new brake pads today. Figured I'd throw em on the car and put the crossdrilled/slotted Brembo rotors back on. Front went all good. Went to put on the back passenger side rotor and ran into a bit of a problem. When I bolted the caplier bracket back on I couldn't turn the rotor a full turn. It has so much runout in it that it is hitting the caliper bracket and won't go all the way around. That thing is warped like a b****..........So, I have the slotted on the front and stock on the rear. Not sure what the hell happened to it.

Drove my car for the first time since October 2nd! Yay! And gave her a good washing too to get off all that nasty crap from the trees. If only I had a nice garage...white is a b**** to keep clean... (hand)

So why are you wanting to get rid of the car? What car is next?
