What have you done to your P5 today?

Oy what a trial.
We hacked my wiring harness to install the MPI unit with NA module.
Hit a dead end when instructions called out wires not on the unit.
Passenger seat still removed and ECU is hangin loose
We also tried to install the SU manifold (626).
This manifold is now beautifully ported and polished some too.
Removed stock manifold completely and placed gaskets then,NSN spacer then gasket and SU mani.
1. None of the stock fuel rail mounting points was even close (out of four).
2. The EGR pipe was nowhere close to lining up
3. The spacers now require longer studs
4. The rear support mount was 3" from the back of the IM.
5. The injectors appear to sit too deep in their holes compared to stocker
6. Some vacuum sources will need new homes, no biggie
So after a failed attempt, I removed the mani and replaced the stocker.
We also got at that b**** of a rear motor mount while the mani was off and put on my AWR.
It started but was running poorly. We found another vacuum source not plugged in and 1 injector that didnt seal well. After that she ran fine (with a CEL).
We fabbed a EGR from copper tubing (for now).
Refilled the coolant, unplugged the MPI and moved it out of the garage.

Eh...back on topic. I've had some time now to rate my new BF Goodrich Traction T/A tires on stock rims 205/50/16. The ride is ultra smooth, even a tad better than the stock Dunlop. Been on the highway and local twisties. Have yet to test in snow. Almost looks like I will not have a chance...should be about 50 degrees this coming Sat.?!?!?
DROVE IT today!! WOOHOOO!!!
After 2 1/2 weeks and over 2000 miles on the minivan, the Christmas trip is over, I'm home and I took the kid to daycare in the P5 this morning. It was so nice to drive something I can shift, and hear running!
Now I'm going back to bed, my bed!

I'm down in the garage right now and my camera is here. My fuel rail is off, my intake manifold is out.. I can take pics of stuff.
My stuff is all 02.5, pre-recall VIN range stuff.
