What have you done to your P5 today?

I dunno. I think blue looks alright on blue/black/silver cars but yellow pretty good on just about everything. I think blue would look kind of funny on yellow or red. Then again, yellow looks pretty weird on yellow...
 
Filled the transmission mount just now with half epoxy half silicone. I did a pretty bad job so I don't know how it'll hold up but I'll let it cure as much as possible before driving it.
 
I tinted my tail lights and painted my valve cover (is that what its called?)

not bad for a beginner I think :)

Back to stock wheels on the wife's car. Tires started showing threads, so, off they came.

Gotta wait till Jan for the bonus to pickup some new rubber, unless someone has some good 215/45/17's laying around
 
what dangers can happen from a car running lean? i keep getting a cel telling i am running too lean. is that from the intake or the header? how can i fix this s*** cause i dont want to have any major, or minor for that matter , problems with the engine
 
Ordered some new tires, they should be in sometime tomorrow. It will be nice to be able to drive in rain again without worrying about constantly losing traction.
 
Lean? Strange! I am getting the Rich CEL often here.

yeah i keep getting this crap over and over. i erase and it comes back, i disconnect the battery and it comes back, i pull the fuse and it comes back. now it just comes like every 50 mile or so. then i keep getting this evap emissions leak (large) BS
 
Don't worry about the lean, it is prob just coming on because the evap. The lean code always throws for me when another code come up.

But the evap is either a loose gas tank or a loose vacuum line or it just came off. I would check the gas cap then check all of the vacuum lines in the engine to see if any or loose or came off.
 
Sounds like P0171 "Bank 1 System too Lean". Trust me, I know this code VERY well. This is a common problem over with the MSP guys. Check for any exhaust leaks before the primary O2 sensor (ie header/head connection) and check for any vacuum leaks after the MAF. The causes for this CEL are limitless ranging for bad sparkplugs to a dirty MAF too dirty injectors to a vacuum leak. I'm actually waiting for mine to come back on here shortly.
 
I forgot I hadn't posted this here yet... but I kinda cheated on Ol' Blue this weekend with an S2000 (an AP1 to be more exact), and OMG do I want one. And to be honest, I probably will be joining the dark side (v3t4k y0!) by the end of this year.

Funny thing is, I think Blue knows it. Last night the door lock actuator for the right rear door stopped working and now makes a really ugly sound when I lock / unlock the doors, and doesn't actually move the lock. *sigh*
 
lol Jen wants one too....

theres a lighter blue 03 one here for 15.9k w/ 40kish miles on it hahahaha

thanks :D I'm happy with how it came out lol

the Honduhs look purty in white....
NOICE! That's awesome. I was actually really hoping that the lazer blue- like S2k color was made for the AP1s, but alas it was not. Oh well, may be time for a black or white car next ;)
