What have you done to your P5 today?

[ucMP3]

)^: this sucks

There's plenty of good 5 lug wheels available... I assume this is why you want 4 lug, I don't see any other reason you could possible want 4 lug.

Which Racingharts did you get?

And you can buy 4lug to 5lug hub adapters (they are like 1" thick... lol, 25mm spacers) so I would assume you could find 5lug to 4 lug...?

Did you buy the MSM wheels? If so... I may just happen to have a set of MSP anchors, I mean wheels in my garage... if you were local.

With the white/clear plastic cap on it?

 

[justanothermp5]

"Fuel Pulsation Damper" according to the manual.

O, that's not supposed to be loose. I don't think, lol. (lol2) (smartass I know...) I was actually wondering what that was a while back too, but I get distracted easily.

O rly...

SpicyorangeMSP does the flashing. Look for his thread in the Protege FS section.

Ya I would think so. It smooths out the pulsations caused by the fuel pump so the fuel is being delivered consistently.

Is that more sarcasm, Steve? Heh-heh. I was just looking in the manual for the VTCS info and saw his post. I don't know what the hell it does, but that's what the manual said it is. (dunno)

No, you taught me something today.

I googled it right after to discover that (at least by my interpretation cause all I could find was techni-babble) was that it regulates the incoming fuel flow from the fuel pump, because fuel pumps tend to pulse when they pump the fuel, the fuel dampener smooths out the fuel flow so the fuel delivery to each injector is more consistent and even.
