New battery for my whip
Oh that sounds badass... Notice any difference driving ?The modding fun never stops.
Was bored last night so my buddy came over with his welding equipment and we cut out the resonator and fabbed in some 2.25 inch piping in its place, welded it up and off I go.
Weeeeee!
Didn't cost me a cent as my buddy had everything. Free mods, yep. (2thumbs)
Surprisingly quiet considering.
found an msp at a junkyard about an hour away last weekend, so i drove up and grabbed some parts. Scored a stock msp turbo, uncracked manifold, s pipe, oil feed line, water lines on the turbo, 03.5 pedals, msp ecu, 03.5 shift boot and rear msp brake calipers for $150 total. Now i have everything i need to turbo the p5! Planning to return to grab the rear subframe, rear racing beat swaybar and possibly the transmission and mbsp since they are already pulled from the car.
Picked up some used 2010 mz6 rotors so i am planning to install the msp rear calipers with the mz6 rotors and grab some mz6 front calipers for the p5. Considering getting some stainless brake lines as well.
Had a chance to install the new passenger rear door this week, and need to pull the bumper and fender so i can swap the front door to match.
Otherwise the p5 has been running great. It's still very slow but pretty fun to drive.
Cut my shift linkage. The pin is just deadlocked. Ugh.
Hehe yeah, it's been a week of pullers, hammers, clamps, grips and swearing, then I noticed the crap weld on it, realized it was cut once before and just applied a cutting wheel ( gently ? ). Very very satisfying to cut and chuck.. when I finally drop the transmission I am going to have a closer look at it.Just thinkin...
Try reefing a Vicegrip on the threads showing of the pin and see if you can rotate it to break it free...

damn, nice score
Well my P5 sang her final song and took her last breath tonight.
Got hit by a lady running a yellow light when i was turning left today and car is totalled.
My first car, and damn what a great first car to have. Loved it to death. Unfortunate another P5 and a Laaer Blue are out of existence.
Dont know what car ill have next, but we will see.
Also picked up some 10 MZ6 front calipers, just have to get some pads and get the rotors turned to install the 6 front and MSP rear brakes. Considering getting stainless lines as well.
Any ideas what it could be?
Your transaxle range switch (ATX) may have malfunctioned or went out of alignment.
Or your starter interlock switch (MTX) may have failed.
Check to see if you've got +12 V on the control wire going to your starter, while you hold the key at start position.
Check your connections on the starter motor.
Your engine would still turn over if you had a bad crank sensor.
When trying to start I do notice when I press the clutch I hear a click, but no clicking when not pressing the clutch. Thanks again
That would suggest that your clutch switch is working...
This thread had the same issue..
Turned out to be the connector not plugged in properly..
