Hahaha thanks guys! Pedobear is watching...

Sooooo, got a few things worked out in the past. Coolant leak is fixed and I changed out the oil return line. The old line was touching the J-pipe and it actually burned through, so I used a different line that has an elbow on it to move it out of the way. Muy buenisimo! Car boosts amazingly, btw.

Nothing else has really been done to the car. Needs a new wheel bearing/hub in the front driver side. Gonna fix that, then I'm looking into a short shifter and a 3" exhaust that I've been saving to buy from a member on the board. Vegas vacation coming up, so money will be going to that first

 

[whiteMPRO5]

if you meet me a little further ill do the exhaust and cat for say.. $180? pm me :]

 

[goodfornothing]

You were giving me a cheaper price before!!! lol We'll work something out

 

[whiteMPRO5]

was i? s*** i dont remember? hahah whatever. what were we gonna do? i want this thing gone hah

 

[Jordysoso]

Are those all new fogs or just somethin done to the lenses?

 

[Jordysoso]

Btw looks good bro!

 

[goodfornothing]

Darren, I remember you said $80 for the exhaust and an extra $40 for the highflow 3" cat.

Jordysoso, I put yellow vinyl overlays on the fogs.

 

[whiteMPRO5]

haha funny thing is you gave me the same congrats on my p5 and hes the one that bought my turbo kit !

 

[Spiced MSP]

oh s***, I didn't even notice..lol

Are you still running on the original clutch? My p5 still has the original clutch at 131k miles, not sure how it would hold up if I add a turbo.

Thanks man! I likes the darkside! Now I just have to go lower lol.

Yes, I'm still on the original clutch and at 146k miles. I think it may be slipping when I boost hard near higher rpms, but for the most part, it holds and I'm not pushing it hard at all. I might be needing a replacement in the future though since it's pretty old. My shifter gets sticky when it's hot outside though -___-

 

[whiteMPRO5]

yea my clutch got toasted when i booosted my car, about 160k on it haha

 

[goodfornothing]

Lol have you even replaced it yet Darren? How's the p5 now?

 

[stjohans]

i wish my silver P5 was as pretty as either of yours. Edmonton has been very cruel to mine.
nice job on the lights and the lip looks killer. can't wait to see your turbo set up. =b

Ugh tell me about it... stupid winter...

No rust on my baby

I just got back from my vegas/denver vacation and my friend and I took shifts driving 14 hours back home last week. He has a Kia Forte, pretty nice car, but after coming back home and driving my p5 I forgot how much I love the way it drives. Seriously, like a go-kart.

Sooooo, I have yet to install my corksport front mount insert. I also ordered the corksport bronzoil shifter bushings. They will most likely be installed together soon, once I get one of my jack stands back from a friend. So far, I need to get my front left wheel bearing fixed but I'm also on the mission to fixing my squeaky clutch and problem going into first gear when the car is hot. My plan is replace both master and slave clutch cylinders, hopefully that will get rid of the squeakiness of the clutch and maybe even fix the first gear problem. I'm hoping the new shifter bushings will improve the problem one way or another.
