What have you done to your P5 today?

Flushed the radiator and replaced the themostat for good measure. Argues with the guy from Autozone about the thermostat gasket, always a good time.
 
test fitted my brothers s2000 wheels. turns out the offset is way to far out. the wheels sit to far inside the wells. the fronts (205/55/16) are fine. tire fills the gap well! but the back (225/50/16) hits the swing arm, and the strut.

front wheels on only the left side... to bad they dont work. i like the look of the wheels.

would you sell your factory black rims?
 
finally put the hatch back together and reinstalled the sub and amp... then drove it around all day wasting gas and having fun :)
 
This weekend:

Drove 800+ miles to pick up the following from socal:
Evo 8 Recaro with slider and bracket for my car
MSP turboback exhaust (forgot which one, thermal I think) for a MOCC member
3 Prosport gauges for a MOCC member (for his LS1 FD)
HKS Ti exhaust for my friend's is300
 
car got "nature's bath" to wash the bird poop off of her... that's about it. HIDs have been shipped so i can't cancel the order but should be arriving tomorrow. hopefully i can at least get the fogs swapped out for 3000k instead of 8000k
 
After all that, no new wheels???

You spent all your $$ on the turbo, didn't you? I guess I can forgive that. ;)

Trust me I have enough left for BC's and new wheels just don't think I need them so I will just settle for tire's.Also need to look into getting the gf a new set can't go all toward the p5. :cool:

I forgot to tell ya but here's a hint: the longest wire goes to the drivers side seatbelt. If you take off the trim there is a female spade connector that the alarm goes in place of. Then from there match up the connectors underneath the steering column and that's pretty much it. There's also a plug that goes directly underneath the steering wheel so be sure to take off the trim that's right below the steering wheel too.

so mom tells me if i get a bike ill be going on my own insurance..... so guess ill just have to try to drive the p5 less and ill lower it instead in a few weeks! i dont think ill be scraping the hitch rack, seems pretty damn high now compared to my friends cavalier so lowering will still probably keep it higher since the hitch sits higher
