Makin' progress! I've got a rear hatch trim piece mod that I know you'll be interested in (and you'll be able to do yourself).
What have you done to your P5 today?

Makin' progress! I've got a rear hatch trim piece mod that I know you'll be interested in (and you'll be able to do yourself).
I finally washed inside the wheel well today. I think that I'm gonna take off the wheels and polish the inside one of these days. Took a couple of new pics too
Noice! (2thumbs) Makes me miss my DG front lip ... except that I used to scr8pe it everytime I drove my P5 ...

hey i got a random question, how do i get the rear hatch trim/plastic piece off?
i saw what Bala said about a mod and it reminded me that i looked at it one day and i had no idea how to get it off
because i wanted to take off my latch cover and paint it flat black instead of getting a DG CF cover for it, but i couldnt get to it because of that piece
any input would be great!!

You have to take the inner hatch trim off. There are a couple bolts you can access from the outside and a very well hidden screw holding the left side of the piece on, only accessible from the inside.

His is a 5spd though I think and that's what matters anyway!
Boss took everyone out to Hooters today and he has a week old 08 Yellow ZO6. Let me just start by saying I didn't beat him at all but anyway this was in a privately owned opened road and I knew I couldn't keep from giving it a try. Next week will be a different story with my cutout, slightly upped boost and 450lbs less in the car without 2 passengers! 60-120 he had about maybe 2 cars but I was shocked I held on as long as I did!

Would you have any pointers on how to take the inner trim off?

ah that's a fun job. From memory, you'll need to take off the transverse brace, remove all the bolts (3 or 4 per side), then back down the 2 nuts that hold the subframe on to the 2 'spikes' on the sides of the chassis. Once you have those as loose as they'll get without coming off, with the aid of a sizeable prybar, you can pry on the subframe and work the sway bar out.
Oh, and you have to undo the 2 brackets (1 bolt & 1 nut IIRC).
Yeah... took us about 4.5 hours with 2 of us working, give or take.
oh, the motor's out?! Then what're you complaining about? lol

I just got done with taking a drill with a steel brush attachment to as much of the engine of the car as possible without tearing up the various hoses and wires that are there. I also sanded off the "mazda" and "16 valve" or whatever it is. also took out eat bolt individually and took the steel brush to them.
I also installed the new intake which is what seems like powdercoated red. The intake is very very nice and I can't really say one bad thing about it. Perfect fitment with no rubbing anywhere. I mean it does come with the basic bad filter but I already had the K&N so it wasn't a problem. I am tired as hell now though so I'm going to bed.
Pics to come tomorrow or sometime soon.
