    What Color is Your P5?

    Mine is Titanium Grey.....with a silver front bumper. Will do a full respray in the not too distant future - not sure of the colour, I'm thinking white. Suggestions?

    Sounds good. Fabricated mounts made out of what? Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

    Ideas required; As you can see, the bracket from the bumper is broken. I was thinking I could either replace the bracket with two brackets at each hole (material yet to be decided - maybe a couple of perspex or aluminium brackets). The entire bracket is missing on the other side of the...

    Spent some time on Saturday changing over the drivers seat from our donor Protege SP20 to our running Astina SP20. Changed a couple of the interior door panels too (slight tears here and there) - Drivers seat was changed because I'd broken a bracket due to my being a.....fatty boom batty While...

    Dropped the Asti' in for a wheel alignment yesterday and had them also replace all of my end links. OMG, I didnt realise how rubbish the ride was with the wheels and endlinks as they were. My front wheel alignment was so far out it that I was getting a sore hand from having to grip the steering...

    So, pulled out my shifter in the weekend and replaced it. I had a heap of fun really. Thought it was going to be quite difficult for some reason, but probably took me 30 minutes (and most of the was establish my plan of attack).

    Sorry - I forgot to take pics of it - I had a look at the thread where I purchased my stuff and it was described as; Short Shifter + Qford Stiffer Bushes (Similiar to KartBoy AFAIK) + Energy Suspension Red Shifter Bush

    Yeah...I've left the rear mount till last. I was sick while I was doing them and the headache got worse and worse as I progressed. Gave at after the drivers side mount. Thanks - a whole lot more to do yet. Looking at dressing up the engine bay a little when I replace my valve gasket. (after...

    Not too sure to be honest. I haven't looked at it in detail and didnt actually ask when I brought it :)

    Installed 3 of the 4 engine Mounts yesterday (AWR mounts I purchased from another member on astina gt.com - ICE88). I was surprised, I managed to do it with a minimum of swearing and not cuts, pinches or bruises to my body. The car is now no longer rocking harder than the Foo Fighters during an...

    My daughter thinks I should go purple, my son midnight blue. My wife is thinking white with chromed wheels. Yeah, I'm not too sure now :) Ah well, plenty more to do before I get to that point

    Thanks mate. Yeah, there is a little bit of rubbage, but I'm looking at adjusting the coilovers to combat that and I'll probably roll my guards soon...very soon. I'll definitely do something with the spare bumper. My wife is quite interested in getting into it as well (I know, absolutely...

    Because I have a spare SP20 bumper lying around now (albeit slightly broken), I thought that I would repair it and modify it. Aiming for something similar to this;

    Thanks Nope. No spacers on them. They're pretty wide and are 18's. Not sure whether I am going to leave them white or not. I was thinking of going a full respray in white, so I might leave them white as they are, maybe add something something sparkly to the white??

    I put the wheels on. Sorry about the poor picture, it was raining and I didnt want to get wet. Also, I know the car (and wheels) needs a clean. [/URL][/IMG]

    I purchased some coilovers to take care of my shot suspension; Here are the coilovers before installation Installed new Coil packs, leads, spark plugs, pod filter (I know, it's sitting in the engine bay and sucking in hot air, I'll sort that out later) and switched the bumpers over so I...
