What have you done to your P5 today?

[ScratchNSniff]

Yea, I wish I wasn't...I have to take two this summer or I wouldn't be able to student teach this fall, which would put me graduating next year instead of this one...

Drove the car to work today. First time it's moved in 2 weeks or so. Lovinit! Such a change of pace from this...........

Got dual gauge bezel and gauges to do, eyelids to paint, AMSOIL atf to swap, antifreeze flush/thermostat swap/silicone hoses, 3 bung header needing coating, 3000k h3 HIDs for fogs & finding somewhere to fill midwing mounting holes in hatch the right way soz I can ditch the wing.........all kinda projects. If I can just stay away from modding the truck, bikes and the house to get to all of these. Oh well, got a staycation planned for week of July 4th holiday so that's what may be going down, whole week of car activities FTW!

^ congrats!

I cant wait until I can say that. The reason for purchasing my P5 was that I was headed back to college, didn't want to ding up my BMW and/or put lots of miles on her...

did the best "mod" to my p5 yesterday. roof racks are old business

 

[mx-p5]

that Josh's stuff?

 

[reut1]

the hitch and magnaflow is. but the magnaflow has some leakage issues i gotta fix. racks is all mine. so i wont be lowering my car now so i dont scrape the rack going into driveways and such

 

[mx-p5]

Your the 4th (to my knowledge) Pro5 to rock that exhaust. lol

I got it off a local, then sold to Josh, now you've got it

haha, didnt know i was forth! my friend has a welder so we are just going to fix it up next weekend. right after the res its puffing out quite a bit of air.

so since i probably cant lower it, ill most likely do a retrofit next month

 

[mx-p5]

Do eibach/tokico

nowhere NEAR slammed but def. lower than stock and handling significantly better

It was stanced HellaPractical

 

[reut1]

well i was going to get the tokico package from protege garage. but i got the rack instead. might still do it if i know i wont scrape things. the rack cost $335 and want to keep it looking nice

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Scape things? lolz. cute.

 

[reut1]

guilty 0=)

 

[alexelie]

wow this thread grow so fast lol.

Did you just paint over it?

of course not ahah. i did it with my father. we grinded it first(there was a hole in the trunk) there was still some rust inside but i dont have the tools to remove a big square of metal. But most of the rust was removed. Then we put like some metal brush(dont know how to call it in english), some bondo, grinded it again, put more bondo,grinded again(cant remember if we did it a third time), when it looked like a clean surface, we started painting(no, we didnt apply primer). We put like 4 layer of paint. Its NOT perfect, but its fine for me(you can see some minor bumpr because of bondo). I may post some pictures later. Its better than paying 300$ to have the whole trunk repainted imo.
