What have you done to your P5 today?

[fishdonotbounce]

fish you got 3000K for the headlights? if so, sweet! same setup ive been running for a while now, much better then the 10000K's i had before
yours dont look as yellow as mine are though...what brand?

Ebay brand ftw lol. I bought them for 13 bucks shipped. I'm running the ddm slimline ballasts with them. If they don't last, my old ones are easy to put back in. My old bulbs definitely changed color a bit as time went on and maybe these will too. And they don't look as yellow now but just wait a week or two until I get home and do what I have planned for the headlights. But shhh that's still secret

How did you like the Por-15 Ivan? I've been thinking of picking up their starter kit for $20 to try it out in the engine bay and rear quarter panel.

Got the alignment done this morning.....thankfully Firestone didn't give me any hassle honoring the lifetime alignment now that the car is lowered. My toe in the front was waaaaaaay off - LF was -0.54 and RF was -0.39

Took some pics before dinner...

I really dig it. The marine clean that comes with it and is the first step is absolutely amazing stuff. Here's a pic of before and after just the first step. Keep in mind this only cleaned off the rust coloring that was all over stuff. Still, it is very hard to clean that stuff off sometimes and this marine clean stuff took it off as soon as it touched it.

Nice! Guess I'll be ordering some this week. Did you start with the starter kit or did you go all out with Por-15 balla status.....that s*** aint cheap. lol

 

[fishdonotbounce]

starter kit ftw. It is WAY more than you need to do what you're looking to do. I'm gonna get some stuff underneath the car too before winter starts.

Yea it does suck. It seems like in the last 8 months, it's gotten worse. I really have to take care of the rear passenger fender cause the bubbles are starting to spread up quickly. 8 ohio winters and this being my daily driver is the reason why. The pacific ocean doesn't have s*** on how much salt and chemicals are put down onto the roads of places where it snows. I'm hoping to stop as much rust as possible temporarily with the POR until a couple years from now when the car gets stripped down entirely and I get rid of every single bit of rust permanently and get it resprayed.

Take care of it while you can! Don't wanna look like my car.

ive got a double whammy here being on the coast in CT and having the winter salt to deal with. Im trying to prevent all i can by washing the car every week or two over the winter. helped out well so far but ive only had the car for 1 winter. i have a tad bit of rust on the passenger front fender since previous owner dinged it and put some spider web-ish cracks in a bit of the paint.

HKPRO what's the offset/width on those wheels?

 

[fishdonotbounce]

16x8 +50. 225/50 tires. Exactly the same setup I'll be running soon

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Painted my hella supertones today. I might try to mess with them to make them more centered and even but they look great and sound better!

 

[HKPRO5]

I'm taking out one horn today. Going to paint it a stealthy black. lol I'm trying to tone down and go into sleeper mode. lol

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Haha I got ya. You should paint it bright neon green!

 

[HKPRO5]

Lol the one on the right side is off already due to my oil cooler being in the way. So it kinda looks wired all by itself on the right side. So I'm just going to stealth it.

Also clean the interior. I just have to get out of bed. lol

 

[TWISFM]

i failed..hopefully tomorrow goes better.
