    Buying a P5...your $.02 on reliability and ownership

    I've put 20k+ on my 02.5 P5 in the past year and it has been a great car. Replaced shocks and other than that regular maintenance. Flip top cup holders are nice, it keeps the lines of the center console. Especially if you paint it something besides that gross gray or whatever it is. They don't...

    Seafoam, cool-looking snake oil?

    Couldn't have said it better myself. I used it on my P5 at 78k and there wasn't much smoke. did the whole shebang too. 1/3 in the tube, 1/3 in the tank, and 1/3 in the oil. Shut off, rev a bit, drive on the freeway, hard acceleration for 10 minutes, then change the oil. Didn't make much of a...

    Blasted sway-bar linkage, stripped allen key hole... HELP!

    I don't know what you call it, but I just used an air tool thing with a disc at the end to cut right through the middle of the bolt and nut. nut fell off in half and after squeezing the bolt end back together I just slid it out.

    Suspension clunk.

    So I figured out why my rears were clunking so badly. I installed the endlinks on the insides of the strut tab and the sway bar. Switched them both to the outside while slapping my progress rear sway bar in there and also replaced AWR bushings with firewall gromets as suggested in another...

    air intake system suggestions please

    Question. Why do you need a new intake? Looks? I have heard that short rams and CAI's make you lose low end power. I stuck a K&N drop in filter in my car and now I'm getting 32 mpg according to VehiCal!

    CLUNK noise

    Just when you have the clutch in and you're shifting into reverse? I think that's normal. It's just the crappy reverse gear engaging.

    wtb: P5 FRONT BUMPER, GOT IN ACCIDENT!!

    He means click <a href="http://lmgtfy.com/?q=certifit&l=1">this</a>, then click contact information and see how much a bumper would cost. If the sedan bumper is the same as the hatchback it's looking like their online catalogue says $55 plus shipping. :P (2thumbs)

    Headlights

    Something tells me these aren't projectors. Back on topic though :P Are the sedan lights the exact same shape as the P5's?

    I want to get rid of my roof rack.

    Thanks stealth! edit: Although, after looking at the site, it doesn't look like they carry them anymore. Maybe I'll call them and see if they still have them.

    I want to get rid of my roof rack.

    See, I don't think those are the filler strips, I think those are just the side braces for the cross bars. So you're basically missing the other half of the roof rack. That's what it looks like anyways.

    I want to get rid of my roof rack.

    These filler strips are what I want. That yellow P5 in the remove your roof rack how-to looks so much better without it and I've been thinking about it recently. Seeing a couple WTB's and stuff on the for sale board made me decide to go with it. Now I just need to get it going.

    I want to get rid of my roof rack.

    Does anyone have a picture close up of what the filler strips look like on a P5? Also, What's a good price for the full rack set up?
