I had planned to take th ep5 apart this weekend and fix the trans, but decided id rather just sell it for like $1500 and leave it alone.. the time investment to pull the trans out, open the trans, fix whats ****** and put it together is huge when i work full time an im not a mechanic with a lift ect.. id have to take it out fromt he bottom thist ime which i dont really want to do. but ive listed it at $1600 and see if i get bites. if not by next week, ill try to get the engine hoist on friday, pull that fker out and fix it, mark it up $1000...
I did steal some interior panels though. passenger rear door panel, driver door panel, glovebox, some handles and misc stuff are now in the msp and it is generally better. I have no head unity but im keeping my painted interior trims ect.. so the p5 kinda reverted to absolute stock with not so good interior stuffs.
sorted my hard clutch issue but running a s*** load of new fluid through the line til it ran clear. the old fluid was kinda brown.. so attached a tube to the bleeder and flushed it all out with new. clutch isnt perfect but a helluva lot better than it was. i suppose i should do this to the brakes too as the liter was only like $6.
my front splitter is silver and will need new paint. but wasnt all scratched this time from speedhumps, so will just need some white base and yellow. should be quick when i can afford the paint.
trying to get my hands on a passenger mirror, then ill prob dust both of them as they are a little different than the body color.
wheels not my first choice for yellow. def suit the p5 better but it is what it is for now.
i also took the insert out of the ssqv and now i think it is leaking.. ill have to plan to replace the bov shortly. i have never liked how the ssqv worked so i might try to get a greddy style with a 45 flanged intercooler pipe.
wouldnt mind doing a liquid intercooler in this car, but ive already clocked the turbo down, so the fmic routing is quite short. could be shorter still if i delete the smic and run the pipe straight up there. then i could have a proper CAI which would delete the slurping sound at moderate load. car has too much intake sound, need smore exhaust.
oh, and when i put the manifold back on on friday, i deleted the vtcs as well. which i think confirms my grip about the idle transisition. it wil stumble after a measurable amount of time at idle. p5 did it and the msp does now too.
she has exhaust leaks in 3 places..rattles everywhere, has NO swayars atm as no endlinks are installed.. struts are done.. trans has a broken dif, but still lsds apparently... needs love. but i love her, she will get it.

. I didn't tell him but I have the decal on the rear window. I'm sure he'll put 2 together.
