[fishdonotbounce]

[rooster1]

[fishdonotbounce]

haha yea they're pretty beefy.

 

[rooster1]

no kidding. so does the p5 not have bumpstops or what i havnt checked. an on the tein paper thing it dosnt say to cut them.

 

[racerx43269]

[ScratchNSniff]

Anyone have an idea of where to get some parts for cheap...

I am looking for all OEM replacements...nothing aftermarket needed and want it new not used unless it is very very lightly used...

Flywheel
Clutch
Head/Exhaust Studs
Water Pump
Front/Rear Main Seal
Oil Pan/Valve Cover/Intake Mani/Exhaust Mani/Thermostat and Housing Gaskets
Pilot Bearing (if not with clutch)

as long as it's after the 2000 model....direct bolt on and fitment with everything....you'll have to get a vac distribution block though cause the 626 mani has half the nipples needed

We sold our P5 today. We shall miss her.

 

[CTt3P5]

Congrats (I think?) Taylor!

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

Lol yes congrats works

Just brings us 1 step closer to s2000 time later this year. Plus we made some decent cash

 

[dave45090]

Fun day today....cleaned the car, installed CF mirror covers and painted the rear valance. I like it, what do you think?

 

[aMaff]

Hey, congrats man! Looks like Jen may actually need to learn how to row a gear box now. Trust me when I say don't teach her on the S2k... light flywheel + no down low torque = stall monster for n00bs

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

Lol nice. We'll see when the time comes.

 

[aMaff]

Just sayin. I've been driving stick ever since I can remember and it took some getting used to lol. Stiff clutch pedal too (at least on the AP1s, apparently there's some difference in AP1 to AP2 clutch slave cyl, a lot of people put AP1 slaves on their AP2s, so apparently it's better. Dunno...)

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I really can't remember too mu a difference between the AP1 and AP2 I drove. Definitely a different clutch tho

Just have to wait now

 

[kudakev615]

looks good dave. maybe one day ill see that turbo'd beast

 

[dave45090]

Thanks man. I can't wait to see your new CF hatch spoiler.

I will say the CF mirror covers are pretty tight. Better than I expected.

Now if Medieval will send my air diversion panel, I'll be happy. Medieval = ******* liars!
