Almost makes me want to sell mine, knowing my low miles 03 could probably sell for $12-13k. Think about that after 4 years of ownership its only depreciated by $3000 thats pretty incredible.

I <3 rain-x. I don't use it as often as I used to, but when I lived in Seattle I used every time I washed my car. Makes the rain slide right off your windshield. On the freeway you don't even have to use your windshield wipers. (I still do, but you can leave it on the lowest setting even in a heavy rain)

i dont have rain-x...i got something better
i forget the name, it's in my car and its raining so i will get it later. it's a spray that you spray on the windshield (and other windows) and you simply wipe off. it's like waxing ur windshield. best thing ever- :

I have herd a lot of good things about the ACT clutchs. If your going to be putting in a purformance clutch it would be a really smart idea to save up for a light weight flywheel like Fidanza. A Fidanza flywheel would work better with the performance clutch than the stock flywheel would. Plus later on down the road you wouldn't have to go through the whole grulling process again if you wanted to put a lightweight flywheel in. As far as installing it I would do it yourself. Its a lot of work but it would save you a lot of money. I would say it would be at least $200-300 in labor for a mechanic to do it, if not more. That money could buy you alot more upgrades for the P5.
i want mine to be this fast

You can rent engine housts(cherry picker), and I am sure you at least have a jack right? The rest is just finding time to do it? If you have a garage just park it in there and work on it when you can. Then just ride a bike, or carpool with a friend to school unless your a long distance from your school or work then you have a bit more of a problem. If you took it to a mechanic you would have to deal with the same waiting problem, it just might take them a little less time.
i dont really have much of a choice...i dont think it's a good idea to do it in a parking lot. do they come w/ instructions or nething?- :

magnum, i had a spare grille to, shoulda asked 
Not my P5, but one of the dodge work trucks. I was driving to town today, and about 5km from camp I noticed that the temp gauge was way higher than it should be. It never gets above 95 C, but it was closer to 120C. Cranked the heat to cool her, no heat coming out. Pull over and check the coolant, there was none in the recovery tank, and it was really low in the Rad. Got a co worker to go back to camp and get me some coolant, put in 3 gallons. Seemed to run fine and not loose too much on the way back to town. The temp stayed steady at just under 95C the whole way. I think we caught it quick enough to not do any damage to the engine.
