What have you done to your P5 today?

[Lewis7789]

Certainly better than Miata talk, right?

Troo dat, son son! Forget anything I said.

Oh you guys, do some research on HID planet and you'll see that FX-R's are superior.

On another note, my B pillars are almost done drying, can't wait to put them on.

Should be getting my poly bushings for the front sway bar today. Ill try to put it in this week on my next day off...

 

[imola.zhp]

Really? I never thought they were too donk'ish, maybe being up higher helps mine not look as bad. these are 205/50's...

 

[Salmon_Rob]

i dont think they = donk status? (shrug)

Finished the brake job from hell yesterday. I'll post the long story in a separate thread later. All is done now, but it seems like i have a little more pedal travel before I get the brakes engaged...anyone have and idea why that could be?

Bleed the brakes more, maybe? Idk, when I change my brakes I usually notice less pedal travel b4 engagement... Is your brake fluid full?

 

[FORZWIN]

A power bleeder is well worth the cash...I didn't believe it until I used one. If they're mushy (more travel) then either your pads are almost gone, or there is still air in the system.

 

[The ManLaw]

air in the system is my vote. bleed the brakes and should be good to go

[Matt V]

Today I buffed my car with Meguiar's SwirlX and waxed it. Can't wait to see how it looks tomorrow.

 

[Pro5driver]

I added leather seats today... a little trade + cash worked out for both of us.

I also bought some wheels for both my cars and ordered a JD Enterprises lip for the 5

Unfortunately...its very popular in the southern region. Essentially a donk is a vehicle with rediculously large wheels which usually require that you lift the vehicle to equip said wheels. Sizes for wheels typically range from 24"-36" and the vehicles of choice are 80's era american cars, monte carlo's, caprice's and cadillacs. Consider yourself fortunate if you dont have these up your way. Google image search for donks if you need examples.
