What have you done to your P5 today?

[fishdonotbounce]

Won't the paint chip the second I turn them?

 

[dxaveP5]

yea it'll chip.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Thought so. I'll just scrap that idea.

 

[TWISFM]

^^^^^ powdercoat?

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Well won't powdercoat chip as well? I'll probably be taking the wheels off plenty of times...

 

[dxaveP5]

Powdercoating is alot tougher than paint
It's more elastic than paint is. It wont flake and is more scratch resistant.

I washed and waxed mine today oh and detailed the interior. that was kinda fun.

 

[THE Phen]

I've seen multi-colored spline drive nuts. Have you looked into those?

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Kuhmo ECSTA AST $40 a tire

definitely not a performance tire but for $200 shipped you can't beat that

Installed a apexcone 6000k HID kit from matt at dabears2kperformance.com

traded detailing services for it.

unfortunately one of the bulbs was mispackaged and i got like a 5000K (white) bulb instead of a 6000k bulb. so that will get swapped out.

Kuhmo ECSTA AST $40 a tire

thank you.

 

[BinoMP5]

what would be a performance tire around that budget?

 

[NCZ13]

there really isnt a tire in that range that i would consider performance... in order to get into PT range youll be close to spending around 100$ per tire if not more.

personally im getting yokohama s.drives when i have the money.

 

[InFlames]

<---changing rear brakes

 

[Sveivo]

oh i notice. they are totally neccesary on 22v, being that they are from the factory the raciest of cars

Well, it said in that article that Bala linked that they are protected 100% from the outside environment (e.g. dirt, etc.). That alone makes them teh shiznit.

 

[DeanSweet]

simply looked at how dusty my car is getting as I wait for the call from the plater...
