SilentBarbarian's P5 thread.

[SilentBarbarian]

Hello all. I don't think i have ever introduced myself on the forum but just making this thread to keep updates and everything else i have done to the car... I have not taken pictures of half the things I've done to it.

When i first bought the car.

Winter setup around a year ago.

This is a picture before I changed engines...

How it looked for a month or three

Moving on to current updates... I plasti dipped the rear

Lots of wheel gap left...

Them waffles and ice cream... lol

More updates to come! If I am not lazy with the pictures...

 

[itsjbeck]

welcome!

 

[SilentBarbarian]

Thanks!

Did some updates to the car but haven't really took pictures of it with rainy weather. :/

Dibs on the Waffels..

Okay. So today when turning on the car It cranks but no start. Thinking it might be the fuel pump. Any suggestion?

Pull the plugs and check for spark. As long as those are out, put a little gas directly into the cylinders and try to start. If it really wants to start then, the issue is fuel related. I just sold the wife's old POS car thinking the same thing, bad fuel pump. Turns out the plug was loose on the pump.

Problem is fixed car starts fine and while fixing it picked up some stock wheels and plasti dipped temporarily. Will post pictures whenever.

 

[itsjbeck]

what was the problem? in case someone else runs into it. post up pics of the wheels. im interested in what they look like.

My spark plugs were really really old... replaces with those e3 diamond fire spark plugs and now starts like a champ.

Plasti dipped wheels.

Have you noticed any differences with the E3's. I heard about them on tv and everyone on tv says there the best ever, but the online reviews anent so good. Those are made in michigan too right,
I like that hood tho

 

[itsjbeck]

always like the rusted hood...esp in the euro scene
few favorites

Yuck!!

 

[SilentBarbarian]

I felt a big difference with the e3's but that is from what was used to have... Thanks. The look grows on you.

Another update on the car.... No more front lip.... That thing exploded into pieces after running over some huge freakin thing... but looking into a carbon fiber lip.

You guys may on may not remember when Splitfire plugs were all the rage but that fad died down and so will this one. Think about how a spark plug works. It discharges energy in a split second and goes to the nearest ground it can find. They can make a plug with 50 ground electrodes but it will only use 1 of them when it fires.

No more rusty body panels. Those of us that live in the rust belt know all too well rust is bad. The kids in the fair weather areas think its cool to make fun of our rust. I for one would like to kick them in the junk!

 

[SilentBarbarian]

Does anyone have that sls passenger motor mount in there p5? How does it handle? I'm looking around at different mounts right now.

 

[SilentBarbarian]

Haven't really posted any updates an a while but I bought a new lip, painted my hood, put volks on my car, and welded together a buddy club racing exhaust on my car. Soon i will be cutting fenders and putting fender flares on and buying some camber kits.

[SilentBarbarian]

Waiting for fender flares and retro fits to come in. Also changed antenna to some 4" one.

 

[SilentBarbarian]

Still waiting on the flares but here is the car with bbs's from an rx7. Will post picture of the retro fits in later.
