What have you done to your P5 today?

okay, i just wanted to make sure. usually I empty my old oil into a milk jug or something because i buy my oil in a 5 quart jug. this time i got 5 single quarts in a deal from advance auto so i was able to see how much oil came out of the motor this time.

It's pretty easy to gauge how much oil you have in the milk jug, too. 1 Gallon = 4 quarts ;)
 
Ya, it's a bit trickier. If I don't get it done before the cook out, which is very likely, lol. Then I'll bring it with me. What do you guys have as far as hole saws go? I've got a 1 1/4" that should be perfect for it... It's what I used to cut holes in my foglight housings for the HIDs.

Phen has 4 different sizes. I'm not too sure of the actually sizes of the holes, I just eyeballed one and said "Yeah, this will work" and drilled the hole. I'll check later.
 
$1300 SC kit
$100 aem wideband
$50 misc ,vac lines fittings
$450 for a maximized tune

Is there a "how to" for cleaning the Idle Air control valve?

I don't think so. It's basically the same as the EGR, tho. I've got a TB w/ a new (to me...) IAC on it from Scratch's part out, on the way. I think it is supposed to arrive today. I will be taking it apart and cleaning it and installing it within the next few days. I can give you a better answer then.

Hmmmmm....maybe I'll pick one up and bring it with me. lol I've been browsing ebay....is there any difference in quality between the $8 and +$20 bars?



Changed the oil, topped off the coolant and cleaned the battery posts/terminals. Hopefully the rain will stop tomorrow and I'll have a chance to wash her.

Check shipping costs, I bet they come out to roughly the same prices. I bought one of those $25 ones... Not too happy with the brackets in all honesty, tho. It should work, but I have a feeling I may have to cut a larger hole than I originally thought I would. Only because it's going into a sedan, tho. I don't think it would have mattered in the P5. We'll see, tho.

spent 4 hrs fixing the retrofitted headlights i got from MattV.
For some reason the vertical light adjusting screw wouldnt adjust for me and then i took it apart and saw that it was only held in place because the bottom screw was pushed tight against the reflector bowl, and so i bought some screws and rigged it to fit the sedan lights and now im able to see the road again at night.
before the lights were great, however it didnt event light up my friend's EK hatch from about 10 feet away.

Well I bought mine from Ivan dirt cheap. I doubt a rear upper strut bar will make much of a difference in handling and honestly, I bought it because it was dirt cheap and I like the way they look in stripped out cars. But every little bit helps.

If you get one, we can put it in at the cook out, no problem.
