What have you done to your P5 today?

I'm loving the MSP exhaust on the P5. I'm waiting for my wife to complain, but so far, she seems to be ok with the increased sound. I'm also considering putting on the CAI, warrenty or not.

What year? My wife has commented on the sound but no complaints. :) After I got my SRI, I didn't tell her, was waiting for her to say something. I thought for sure she would tell me something was wrong because there was a hissing sound everytime she turned the car off. lol
 
Love that sig!

This bit of wisdom--complete with mangled English and misspellings--comes from a circa 1960 Honda motorcycle owner's manual: "At the rise of the hand by policeman, stop rapidly. Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him." It goes on to say, "When a passenger of the foot, hooves in sight, tootel the horn trumpet melodiously at first. If he still obstacles your passage, tootel him with vigor and express by word of mouth, warning, Hi! Hi!" And even more importantly, "Give big space to the festive dog that makes sport in roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with wheel spokes." And finally it states, "Your safety is our main concern. Ride right and be safe. Instructables can be confusable."

Thats a negatory.
Seriously, I'm like it's not even a part I tried to mod!

GL in getting that hatch fixed Dan! Maybe the hatch has front end jealousy after all that attention you gave it at the headlight meet. :)

Most don't noticed those things. At least not right away.
 
Oh, it's not that she doesn't know, or hasn't noticed. The P5 is her car, we'll both be racing it next season, etc. I'm just waiting to see if the sound bothers her. I put the aftermarket RB axleback on my sedan when I first got it, but I took it off soon after because the drone on the highway was maddening! The MSP axle-back is much better, but it is noticeably louder around town sometimes, and she hasn't really said whether she likes it or not.

She bought the P5 at the very end of 03, so we still have another full year on the warrenty, and we're only at 28,000 miles on it, so we've got quite a while to go. Because of that, we've not modded it much, as she doesn't want to F up her warrenty! I'm thinking they wouldn't give us any trouble about a CAI, but I'm going to wait 'til after it's over to install the header.

...and yeah, the owner's manual thing cracked me up, too, that's why I put it in my sig! :D

wont void warranty. my engine blew with my injen on, and they didnt give me any hassle. they have to prove beyond a doubt that the mod caused the failure
 
You know that, and I know that, but my wife is a law student, convincing her of anything requires the skills of Johnny Cochrane.

HaHa! - Great Sig!

Remember ... if the part fits, she must acquit.
 
Finished the rear wing mod. No more rattle. I did it slightly different though by using the same felt pieces as stock and padded various points, thus you can't even tell anything was done to it. Boy the car looked strange without that wing on.

One less thing the next owner of my car will have to do...(hint hint...Mark).
 
front and rear brake pads replaced at 63K, put the stock 16's back on and removed the DGM lip - all ready for the winter, just gotta do a tranny flush, figure its due.
 
Oil/filter change, Royal Purple 10w30,

added coolant.

Just under 60,000 care free miles. (well, except for all my drama with tires)

Just completed first week with new BFG Gforce Sport 205-45Z R16's....I like 'em.

now to sneak in a wash/wax.

looks sexy as hell...will post pics when i re-paint the calipers and give her a good washing

On another note, the hatch wing is finally giving me that little rattle that plagues all P5s. Time to do the mod.

What rattle is that? I don't seem to have that in mine.
