What have you done to your P5 today?

[Shasta]

really? so I can order it as an OEM part?

I would think so. Not sure.

 

[whitemp5seattle]

but it will match the faux CF already in our cars (thumb) lol

 

[whitemp5seattle]

Please don't order faux CF, get the real thing from DGM. Your car deserves it.

I don't even think DGM makes that part for our cars...I just checked the website and didn't see it (shrug)

Was your code for the MAF? Mine is P0103 MAF Circuit High Input.

Car is totally fine if I stay low (like under.. 4psi ish?) boost.

Hey Kansei, sorry for not seeing this earlier but yeah that is the exact same code I pulled a while back. It seemed like everytime I got into a decent amount of boost I hit fuelcut. Have you checked your MAF at all? I actually had a little water in there and it looked like there was some corrosion on the sensor part. I just took mine out and dried it off and sprayed some MAF cleaner and everything works just fine now. I do have an extra MAF with me at all times now though.

2/4 poly exhaust hangers today......question: where do the pair of 12mm (as opposed to 10mm) hangers go, front or back?

 

[Kansei]

I just compared the stock mounts to the kartboy poly ones and put the longer ones where the longer ones were stock. I did it years ago though, don't remember which is which.

 

[whitemp5seattle]

how is the installation of the exhaust hangers? pretty easy?

 

[silverpro5]

more like the opposite, it SUCKS

 

[whitemp5seattle]

why?

 

[Yaggie1]

They are not too bad to install if you lube em up a bit. Where they really suck is if you have to take em off. Only way to do it is with an exhaust hanger tool. My borhter in law has one. It's the only way to fly. They are a b**** to remove by hand.

 

[whitemp5seattle]

dang...I wonder how much a shop would charge to install them...I should've coughed up the $25 when I bought my exhaust and had that installed...

Tried trading her to the 14 year old kid across the street for a BMX... Didn't work out...he wanted money back

took me like 30 minutes to take off factory exhaust hanger bushings and like 5 minutes to put them all on

 

[FrolessWonder]

Decided im gonna put a CB in the p5 for my trips. I had one in all of my past cars and i actually miss having it.

what's the secret? (nana)

 

[reynoldsrobbie]

you got kartboy? for the stockers, I ended up cutting them off with a knife. The kartboys just slid right on (for me at least). If you have trouble use a lil wd40. But like I said, they went right on for me.

 

[silverpro5]

yeah, getting the old ones off was the toughest for me too, but i think i might have put the larger 12mm poly hangers where the 10mm should be (by the muffler). I haven't jacked up the car to look at the other 2 yet. I used lithium grease for sweet lubing action
