What have you done to your P5 today?

[P5inder]

Took out my mismatched spring combo-nation and put in the Megane springs. Rides like a dream now and I have much more neutral handling than before. All in all, a good upgrade for little $$.

I was at 10 for a long while then I got my J&S Safeguard figuring I'd be happy with the safety net at 10. Converted to a CAI and it raised my boost a little more so now at 12. I have 20k invested in this car and just paid it off so I'm not quite finished yet. Too much time, money, sweat, blood and tears...

I'm hoping the Exedy will hold but will probably end up with an upgrade before big boost!

Yeah I started right away with a FMIC and with other various intake upgrades so I was sitting around 7-8 psi just off the wastegate. I'm hoping since that was my baseline if I go from there to 10 psi it shouldn't increase with other mods and at least I could turn it down some. I am definitely considering a J&S along the road somewhere too. I really hope the Exedy works out for you. It's one of the best feeling clutches I have ever used.

Installed new alpine CDA-9885 and Sirius radio tuner. Should help with my 2hr commute everyday. Thanks again Stephen.

No problem mang. I'll just hit you up when I get another one. Though all the hard work is already done.

 

[khaosman]

Drove it for the first time in... a long time. I went around the block and it sucked lol

Need to bleed brakes, clutch line, and tune it. It'd cut out sometimes and just felt like crap in general. I'm digging the Microtech though!

Oh and I'm going to order the rest of the GHL 3" turboback exhaust to go with their downpipe that I already have. Way too loud and I doubt I can get anything custom that is decent, quite, and cheap. Plus I'm not big into waiting forever. (already done that)

the o2 sensors are 4 wires aren't they? i may possibly need to get a new 2nd sensor, i should know in a couple days if the light comes back on. i found a bosch on ebay for like 27.50 shipped so i may end up getting that, just wanna be sure i get the right # of wires

 

[amsgator]

i am direct wiring my radar detector and i have a >?<
i
f my radio fuse is 15 amps and that is what i am adding the circuit to, do i need a 15 amp fuse for the add a circuit as well? i think the radio is 15 so does that mean i need a 15 for the add as well so both are 15?

 

[FrolessWonder]

so i want to turbo my p5 bad, but by the time i get the money to do it i would be at almost 90 k. Should i go ahead with the turbo, or should i just stay NA? If i stay NA I'm gonna get a reactive header, mp3 ECU, UDp, and perhaps either higher compression piston or Ken's cams, or maybe even both. Any input?

p.s. im trying to stretch my ear to a 0 gauge and it hurts like hell!

Nah... the radio part will be a 15. Then whatever your accessory draws, put that in there, like a 3 or 5a. I think the back of the box explains it. If it doesn't, I can look at mine. But you probably just put the accessory fuse on the side with the wire... 15a on the other side.

Ohms' law my friend..... (P over I times E) or (I over E times R) you can find out what you need, and where to put it!

Decided to pull all the paint off my heat shield because it was flaking off. Turned out to be more difficult than I expected and now I have a partially polished heat shield. Oh well, I want to go with an aftermarket exhaust manifold anyway.

Big-time cleaned the interior in preparation for the Mega Meet this weekend. Vacuumed, steam-cleaned, wiped down, etc. Looks nice, now only if the exterior looked as good, LOL!

ok. i wasnt sure if they both had to be the same since they were sharing a fuse outlet. i'll check the direct wire box and see what it says. thanks

Haha, I clean the car all the time and still doesn't look 100% because it sits ouside

[Sveivo]

[whitemp5seattle]

Since AZMC has a mountain run in northern AZ on 06/02/07, I washed and waxed my car this morning. I even got it to shine up a little bit.
