What have you done to your P5 today?
- Thread starter Tg5
- Start date
Haha, don't get me wrong, when I finished I was like "Wow, that was kind of fun!" and I really couldn't believe I had done it (the most complicated job I have done so far). But between fighting those bastard bolts on the bottom of the IM and trying to get it on/off - it's just not something I want to do again. I'm far from being done with modding though...cable43 said:
All she needs now is new fluids and a very good and much needed bath...

So did you do a swap or use your existing IM.
have one for sale?????(glare)
Yep, swapped a new one in. I've had an extra IM sitting around since late May and it's been ported/polished since the Forth of July Weekend and I finally got around to putting it in yesterday.cable43 said:
So... yes I do have an extra manifold for sale now
. It's the one I took out yesterday. I plan on having pics and prices up soon in my for sale thread...

Drove her for the first time in a week. Really wanted to take her to Myrtle Beach for vaca. but in the end it would have been too tight.
This morning went to Moscow PA (just south of Scranton) to pick up our dog who stayed with my wife's cousin for the week. Windows down at 70mph trying to decide if I wanted to listen to the radio or the exhaust.

How much did you spend on the porting of the IM (I have one, I just want to know how much I can expect to pay)
Do it yourself, it's not that hard. I did mine over the winter so I took a while to do it. Check out the How-to from Flat Black ( I believe he wrote it) it's pretty good. I think you could probably have it done in a matter of a few hours. Of course, once the quiksteel has set up and is ready to grind........

Well I just did it myself and since I already had a dremel tool and plenty of bits the only thing I bought besides the IM was the QuikSteel and that was like $4. I could have probably had it professionally done and it would have come out better but it would have cost $100+. Needless to say I'm happy with my $4 port/polish job...Breeegz said:

you da man
Yaggie - I was going to say, you gave up your P5 for that POS??? You're crazy!!
FINALLY gave Morrigan a proper bath today - unfortunately, did not have time to clay her (and she desperately needs that too) - after nearly 8 weeks without one.
Just a combo of excessive heat, or rain, or nice temps but me feeling too crappy played into the neglect...
Instead of AIO/WSG/Natty's Blue, I elected to go for two layers of Z5, and then CVM as usual on all the windows. Under the hood is desperate for attention, and the interior still needs to be tidied up a bit - PB NL on all the vinyl inside, and a good vacuum - but I did use the Gummi-Pfledge for the first time on all the rubber mouldings around the doors/hatch... After 4 years of being neglected, they soaked up the conditioner like mad. I'll have to do it again when I get back from my road trip next week I think...
