100k miles. Needs an immobilizer issue resolved and obviously the standard upgrades and then it should be epic.
Looks like you had a couple extra mouse power ?

Haha yeah. Need to go see if I can break 60 on the neighborhood drag strip now. Only made it to 55 last time, but part of it is the fact that the brakes don't really do anything so I need to use a lot of it to stop lol. That's happening real soon, too. The 280s were strong enough to lock up the Yokohama Avid Touring but are hopeless with the WRG3. We have a major situation if I have more tire than brake with WRG3.Cleaning that air box out just freed up about 50 hp!
That coolant was pretty nasty!
Yeah I think I should order some plugs lol. Need wipers anyway so time for an FCP order!Jeez. What do the plugs look like??
I bet that thing runs so much better now.
People don't maintain anything lol. Look at this thing....it was well on its way to destruction but only 100k of abuse so still easy to save it.That cabin filter reminds me of the one I just changed on the XC70 I got. On the P3's it's a little tricky to change so most people just don't change them. Then again, most people don't change them on cars where the access is easy, lol. It's amazing the air flow I got afterwards!
Chris I caught you on 84 with a 5 minute head start in a T5M while driving your NA...I agree that 280s aren't the best and 302s and other upgrades are obviously way better but you guys make it seem like they don't stop the car lol.
I've been daily driving my Shiit70 to work for over 3 years / 65k miles now, everyday, up hills, down hills, highway, snow, rain,etc. I never once felt like I couldn't stop or control the car just fine. I also drive it like a normal car though, I don't drive it fast or aggressive. Just regular lol. It's a slow car. Meant to be driven slow. I hate so much when people drive cars fast that can't handle speed. When I get in the S60R, VR, or on my CBR that's a different story. Not saying you're driving it too fast but to say that's in unsafe or can't stop or terrifying or whatever is just very very untrue and exaggerated to a high degree. As long as all the brake parts are in good condition, there's no reason why 280s can't safely stop the car.

I love it! That's an awesome shot. Question. What's with the image of the house being projected on the roll-up door?Took it to the McLaren dealer for state inspection.
Yeah cause this car is oak. Oak R panels essentially don't exist. Yeah yeah my dad's T5 is oak but that car is built out of stuff that isn't supposed to exist. The NA is tan interior as are the R panels.So, your dad gets the R cards but your mom doesn't?
I remember JRL claiming to have had a set but I don't think I ever saw pictures of it. Either way, crazy rare. Any chance you got a link for the aftermarket ones?It's a two tone Oak/Arena I think is what it's officially called. Oak R panels are really rare - JRL had a set at one point IIRC.
I tried recovering mine with an oak colored vinyl and it was just okay - really hard to get the material to lay flat in the inner recesses of the door panel. I have seen some aftermarket inserts for sale from a European vendor.
