What have you done to your P5 today?

got my rr udp today. i think i am gonna take it somewhere to get installed, talked to someone on protegeclub and they said i probably shouldnt be doing it myself. so we'll see. how much do you think it would cost? while i'm at it i guess i can have them throw on my rear motor mount.
 
After weeks of neglect I finally drove the beast and remembered why I love her, 42 bucks for a full tank compared to 50-60 in the m3 and cherokee.
 
damn CEL came on again today just as we were pulling back into town after visiting friends in Winnipeg for the day. don't have time to get the code pulled tomorrow before heading across the border, so hopefully it's the second O2 sensor not liking the rusty non-fouler... i just hope it doesn't affect my mileage too much on the highway :(

guess once i'm in Wichita i pick up a new non-fouler and/or get myself a new O2 sensor (shrug) that would really suck
 
Pulled ventvisors off of the front doors. Damn things were flapping like crazy on the way home. Double-sided tape gave. Got most of it off but will have to finish removing the rest and then re-installing tomorrow. Had to take a time out to play daddy. :)

Sorry for giving you tetanus :-)

new rims, tires, rotors, pads, and painted the calipers

MMMMM....Racing Harts. Looks good. I would suggest painting your headlights black now....will flow better with the hood.
 
Did Seafoam and oil change yesterday.

Last night my cruise control stopped working. I hit the main cruise button and I can hear a relay clicking in the passenger side foot well, but nothing works. Is it something small I can take care of or should I take it to the dealership since I have an extended warranty?
 
She's getting aligned and hopefully some other stuff. Man, this place has been dead lately... Even the "What have you done to your MSP" thread is more active.

I removed my cruise controle and thats what it sounds like when I try and engage my cruise control. So check the cable connected to the CC to make sure it is still connected(pull back the rubber boot connected to the drum), and check to see that you sensors connected around the CC are still plugged in

OK Cool. Thanks!
 
Yesterday I messed with my intake, making it more of a "slightly cooler air intake" than the previous "FREAKIN' OVEN AIR INTAKE"

I also attempted to fix my rattling hi-flo cat heatshield with some JB Weld, hopefully it worked. Unfortunately I didn't fix my furby noise, I think it is my brake pads being uber low. So I ordered some Porterfield pads.

I've been meaning to ask you what type of IC setup you have. I really like the placement of you IC. Also, does your piping come up through that hole on the driver's side (same hole N/A CAI's usually go through)? Right now I'm certain my intake is sucking in a lot of what you call "oven air" and I'm trying to figure out something to do with it.
 
Doors are cleaned up and visors are back on. Now I am just waiting on my 'like new' headlights. :)

Thanks man, it is a custom setup with the Corksport IC core. The piping comes up through that hole you mentioned, using a MAM pipe from there to the TB. The rest is just crappy eBay bends routed around.

I have some pictures of how I redid the intake. Basically it is just a short ram facing down. The filter just barely pokes through a hole I trimmed in the plastic undertray near the transmission. I'll upload the pics in a little bit and post 'em up :D

Had the paintless dent remover guy work on my car today. He was able to remove 3 of the 4 dents in my door. but he did get 95% of the dent out of the 4th one. That's the one that was right on the body line.
