What have you done to your P5 today?

[Fireglow6]

I washed it! does that count?

 

[TWISFM]

finished my water line and oil line setup for turboing the p5... i say a month to a month and a half..

 

[liljae8]

^^^ post pics asap and exactly how you did it..i really got ta doin this

 

[mx-p5]

just put the stock header and intake back on

No more CEL! lol. Put the 2nd o2 sensor back in.

Gonna leave the gauges in, i don't think that'll effect the warranty's deciscion.

So, all that's left on the car are the motor mounts, ecu, and intake mani

 

[Rockin03mp5]

do you think the intake mani will be a problem?

 

[aMaff]

do you think the intake mani will be a problem?

it looks stock (as does the ECU). Who'll know the difference?

 

[mx-p5]

i have the stock un-modded intake mani ready to go. Mechanic said leave it in the back and he'll swap em if he has to take the motor out

As to ECU, i'm not 100%....cause it LOOKS stock, but, it's engraved that's its MP3 flashed

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

i fail to see them wanting to check if you have the correct ecu..

 

[HKPRO5]

RE painted my knock off grill from flat black to gloss. Same for my auto exe lip.

i painted mine flat black, what u have to do is open the hatch, and look at the back of it, youll see this huge plastic cover
this is a pain in the ass to get off, u have to get a flat tip screw driver thats relatively long and wedge it in there slowly, the plastic thing is only held on by clips
wedge and wedge until u here the clips popping out, then when u can fit ur hand in there make like really quick jerks to the cover and the clips will come out easy

then all u have to do is look at the back of the hatch that u exposed and u'll see what u have to loosen to take that part off, its like 4 nuts

hope that made sense
oh and u have to take two bolts off on the outside of it too, its not that hard

Just setup the claim with the warranty company

Dropping the car off at the mechanic Monday morning.

Rather have em do an inspection now than risk the motor going pop and them NOT claiming it

Good luck brother, I hope it ends up with a new motor and boost

 

[TWISFM]

Ty def needs boooooosts

 

[mx-p5]

Thanks man. OG a little further south of me, with his boosted pro5 set me up with a shop he got his motor from (used but low mileage) for $550

So, even if things go south, i'll be putting a motor in, if anything, to sell the car

 

[JDM-P5]

I took some pics...because I'm trying to sell all 3 of my cars.

Check the FS section...

Do they ship?

I need to have a "plan B" if my 225,000 mile motor dumps on me...

 

[mx-p5]

No motor, just body parts. It was listed in July. If you need a engine call All Japanese in Opa-locka. I got a engine for about $550. 305-685-2550

That's all i got for ya so far. lol

 

[Rockin03mp5]

ty,

good luck.

if you get a new motor, are you gonna boost the p5, or still get the speed?

it would be a tough call to me. you know the p5 very well, but the speed is already turbo'd, so less time and headaches finding parts.


jdm-p5... why are you selling?
