What have you done to your P5 today?

[whitemp5seattle]

I know this isn't exactly p5 related, but I'm gonna be on Oprah on Thursday with my dance company (the same company that did the shadow-work for the Oscars). My job, however, is helping me pay for mods for my car. So I'm working towards more mods...avic-d3 here I come...

 

[aMaff]

get the vid and post it on youtube. That's kinda cool tho man!

 

[whitemp5seattle]

I dunno if I can...copyright issues? plus I won't have a recording of it...maybe someone with a DVR system?

i discovered i need new motor mounts because my muffler is hitting the rear bumper b/c the engine moves so much...

 

[aMaff]

 

[amsgator]

the engine moves too much at high rmps i think so it moves the entire exhaust and apparently makes the muffler hit the rear bumper. idk. it does it when i hit bumps too. maybe i just need kartboy hangers

 

[whitemp5seattle]

yeah get the hangers first...there's a how-to on the forums on the installation now it's uber easy

 

[amsgator]

i need the mounts too, i can feel it in the engine when i shift at high rpms.

****** up my tranny... thinking about trading her in...

 

[Salmon_Rob]

man...maybe it wasnt sls's fault your engine was making weird noises?

 

[aMaff]

In my business we call this "USER ERROR"

 

[Salmon_Rob]

ID 10T error?

 

[aMaff]

Yeah. Well, wait. I thought the header caused the problem...

 

[Salmon_Rob]

and then the sls motor mount blew the clutch?

 

[amsgator]

1. i never said the mount blew the clutch, i said the clutch is bad thus i had to sell the mount for the money.

2. it did cause the 1st noise because it stiffened up the front so the rear was moving too much causing the sound. thus i replaced it w/ the stock mount and...noise gone.

3. i never said the sls mount caused this problem...considering it is in the mail on the way to its new owner. i said the MOUNTS, being PLURAL are causing it because they are torn and are allowing the entire exhaust system to move and shake too much.

IN MY BUSINESS THIS IS WHAT WE CALL READER ERROR

 

[aMaff]

um....what? So explain all the other ppl that have the AWR / SLS front mounts ALONE w/ no problems.

Take your time.

 

[Katya4me]

Looking for the upper spring perches. I don't think I've seen them in about 2 years.

it's called a torn rear mount. the rear is torn so stiffening the front makes it worse and allows the back to twist more than with the crappy stock mount, makeing a noise exactly where i said it was coming from. time taken
