What have you done to your P5 today?

[magnumP5]

Drove 315 miles back to Blacksburg without issue (knocks on wood). No CELs, no misfires, nothing; thank God! New IM with modifie throttle cable bracket is working great so far - no sticky throttle. Rear swaybar and endlinks are noisy but work better than stock and nothing is bent/broken yet.

On another note was going to drive the P5 to Cincinnati today (where I am now) but decided not to on account of snow forecast. This was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made as it rained straight for about 3 hours (my car + rain + long distances = bad things) then it switched to freezing rain and ultimately snow. They're calling for upwards of 10 inches of snow in Cincinnati tonight and tomorrow and my P5 with its summer tires would have sucked. Good thing the g/f has a Protege LX with all-seasons! Not the best in snow but a hell of a lot better thann my P5 would have performed.

finally got back to my baby after weeks of traveling for work!

changed the oil and filter, gave her a jumpstart since the battery was dead, and drove her to costco and back.

This weekend I....

-Installed trailer hitch
-ran seafoam in gas/oil/vac line
-changed the oil with Mobil 1 full syn 10w-30
-changed trans fluid with 2/3 Syncromesh 1/3 lucas oil stabilizer

Feels like a new car.

Also did a little garbage picking and got some scrap wood slats from a backyard fence construction I am going to use to build a floor and some sides (little wooden wagon like) on my trailer.

Can't wait til next weekends autocross. WOOO!!!

Took her in for a alignment today and here are her current and previous numbers:

Front Left
Left side # is Actual Right side # is Before
-0.7 -0.7 Camber
1.9 1.9 Caster
0.15 -0.64 Toe
Front Right
-0.9 -0.9 Camber
1.6 1.6 Caster
0.13 -0.64 Toe

If anyone knows if these numbers look good just let me know... Toe's been off since I replaced the springs. These numbers are with the RX8's on - Just for reference.

But she runs really smooth now...Oil change tomorrow and CAI K&N dryflow cleanup... spring is around the corner.

Just went through a fullservice carwash to get the car cleaned up before going to the Pre-Sebring event at Classic Mazda in Orlando.

Car has a viper alarm that auto locks after the doors shut. Carwash genius left the keys in the car. Had to call the Fire Dept. to come unlock em. They paid the bill to open the car, but, wouldn't comp me the carwash after sitting there 20 minutes waiting on teh Fire Dept. to show

Oh well. I'll be takingpics tonight and posting next week!!

Friday at noon I had to leave my baby @ a park 'n ride by the airport. Now, what feels like a week later, I'm in Bangalore, India. Won't get to drive her for 3 weeks. But you know what? Guess what I get to drive when i get home?

Something to look forward to I suppose.

It is (naughty)

LOL no, the company I work for has partner companies in India, one specifically in Bangalore. They've got a gaggle of new recruits that have gotten technically trained, but have limited on the job experience. Basically, I'm here to whip them into shape and show them how our group works

 

[whitemp5seattle]

I see...(whip) em hard

should go get that alarm fixed... the stock alarm did the same thing to me... Locked the freakin keys in the car. I gots a viper alarm to and it doesn't automatically lock the doors with the keys in the car. Yay... If it did i got a spare on the car anyhow... Im sure the viper alarm has an auto lock option that you can turn off. Mine locks only when you start the car and all the doors are closed. If the doors aren't closed whenever the ignition is turned the doors don't lock... Oh and they lock when i arm the alarm.
