What have you done to your P5 today?

[aMaff]

They're going to make noise even if you secure them, simply for creating turbulence over the car.

the issue with them is that they are the larger globey type bulbs so they got some weight to them. i pulled them off and am prob gonna do a small wreath on the grill for the holidays instead.

also did a super long exposure which i like the look of

is 215 50 16 too wide for the stock '03 P5 wheels? I see people running them but I have 205's and they look hella wider than the wheel already. Fixed the passenger MM( nut fell off the bolt.

Decided ill leave the MZ6 wheels for sale / trade for awhile longer.

Another one running 215s on stockers. It works great and the grip increase is well worth it! 50 is a little tall...I run 215/40s, which are a little short, but whatever...

Bought some much needed windshield wipers today (Rain-X Latitudes) and a 5 quart jug of Mobil 1 10W-30 high mileage to be changed out with my current oil at some point (hopefully tomorrow).

not me....i drive through the city all the time..and its about a good 20miles through towns..and all the limits are changing but its all good i avg. 32-34mpg in the summer and now im gettin crappy 28-30mpg all city driving.

Geez, I never get anywhere near 30 mpg and my car runs pretty well. I don't rev it that high usually, I shift around 3-3500, but I usually floor it when I do drive. This car just has no pep, and it's only at 75k miles. I can't wait until I can afford a Mach 1. Then I can have a DD Mustang, and a weekend Mustang.

I just changed my oil and put badly needed wipers on my car as well. I went with the 'radius' blades that are frameless, cool but expensive.

Those are the same as the ones I have, they are very nice.

Can't wait to get my oil changed so the car is running on synthetic.

Changed the oil today, the motor sounds a lot quieter with Mobil 1 high mileage in there.

Right, but 195/50 is not the same sidewall height as 215/50. "50" is 50% of the section width (195, 215, etc). So 195/50 = 97.5mm sidewall. 215/50 = 107.5mm sidewall.

Just an update on the oil, it quieted down my ticking noise significantly. I would recommend Mobil 1 High Mileage to anyone that wants to convert to synthetic.

NICE. Too bad you didn't get 22V to match the P5...

I need to do an oil change so I might follow the synthetic mobil one route.

No problem, I bought a 5 quart jug of 10W-30 Mobil 1 High Mileage for $22 at the local Wal Mart.

I paired it with a Wix/Napa Gold oil filter from Napa, cost me about $30 total.
