What have you done to your P5 today?

[EVADE]

That's sucks, but if you got good tint film it shouldn't matter think the tint shop was using solar gaurd?

well doesnt it have a 2.3? and it should be about the same weight so it makes sense
plus it has variable valve timing which helps

the 5 does have the 2.3, just like the 3, but it is a lot heavier than the p5. i dont know how to explain it, but it just seems more eager to rev.

^^^ Looks really nice, Simon! Did you get new wheels? They look like Mazda wheels but I'm not sure which model they came from?

Had the ol' P0171 code show itself on a drive today. I had repaired a crack in the intake tube a while ago but I guess it developed another.

I didn't want to mess around finding a good used one or buy a replacement, either a CAI or otherwise, so I cut out the crap section and installed rigid tube. Works great and no more CEL.

Oh, and I installed a smaller zip-tie on the shifter boot at the shifter so I didn't have a big tang thing digging into the leather.

Yea had a hell of a time getting all the bolt's off my bbs wheel's lol.Throw them in some thinner and just let them sit there they come out nice.And remember when you go to put them back together run one bead of sealer smooth out with finger then run another bead and do the same thing then wait about 24 hour's and mount the tire.
