I can try to get better pics this week. Not sure what the offset of those rims is... According to Enkei's website it's +38. Rims are 16x7.5. The rear is rubbing a little, where as their's TONS of room up between the fenders and tire in the front. Cars got 109,000km (just under 68,000 miles)...

So i got new rims and tires for the P5. Old ones had a few bends in them (random giant rock in the middle of the road). So I got a set of 16x7.5 rims and 205/50 tires (was actually cheaper and easier then getting repaired). On the front not a single problem, clearance is perfect, no rubbing at...

i know what caused the p0171 for my was the air intake tube. If it's cracked it'll throw some wild codes as your pulling in uncensored (and unfiltered) air. But the other ones I'm not to sure about.

NAPA is where I got all 4 of mine. Both my rears were seized to f*ck and my passenger side front was starting to seize. So I did all 4 pads rotors and calipers. Should have painted them with some silver paint or somethin tho cuz the surface rust forms quick!

Relaced mine a little while ago, part was only $52 (canadian). And the plastic (or rubber, whatever it is) seems to be a much better material.

I want your headlights!! Were those DIY?

think thats the air intake tube (from the MAF to the throttle body), just replaced mine. $58 (CDN)

check your belts. I'm at 102,000km (around 65,000 miles) and had to do both my belts cuz the alternator belt decided to give out.

Ya, I understand it's not great. Alternators only like 60 amps? Pretty damn weak. Going to get a new battery soon to though as mines over 2 (unsure how old it really is). I just find it weird the voltage drops when you rev it a little. I am looking at getting a different car now though, this...

So I noticed a little while ago that when revving the engine at a standstill the lights dim a little. I thought nothing of it at first, but now when my radio is where i usually listen to it my lights dim. So I decided to pull out the old trust Nexxtech (cuz I'm cheap like that) voltmeter. Here's...

(boom06) wtf?!?!? In your ceiling? thats pretty sweet! Wouldn't mind seeing that once it's complete. Did you cut the headliner for a closer fit?

how hard was it to swap the motor in the MP5? I've been thinking about pulling mine and building it up for a project/future turbo.

Someone should do a how-to for this stuff. I'm still trying to figure out how to make it look that good! Is that the same as this http://rona.ca/shop/~garage-door-weatherstripping-kit-r.c.r.-360316_!garage-door_shop

do you guys have any pics of what the stuff looks like? I totally want this on my car!

Maybe a satin black then? I have some satin black laying around, I guess its time to experiment!
