G20-Budo's P10-VE Panda "Po" History thread

G20-Budo · Nov 11, 2012

After looking around for some of Po's (My P10-VE Panda) threads, I realized they were all over the place. And it might make sense to create a single summary/history post that has links to all of the relevant thread regarding my car. So here we go:

Header (Edge Racing, a.k.a. SSAC 2.5") and radiator install thread
Ohlins suspension rebuild thread
Brake upgrade time (P11 from, [email protected] BBK rear)
SR20VE install thread
Calum RT VVL activating ECU install thread
Very cool ATI crank test fit (which I could have afforded it at the time and kept it) thread
Found/fixed issue with my WB
Some cosmetic pics of Po
00-02' P11 LSD trans (with B15 FD) and Centerforce clutch install
SR20VE 20V header & Snickers custom 2-1 secondary install
Tecnocast wheels (with small repair)
P10 Loco Poly Subframe Bushings Install

I have a few other projects for Po in work right now. I will start threads for them and link them here in this history thread as time goes on.

I just added the 20V header install thread at the top (which I updated tonight), and I updated the B15 transmission install thread tonight as well.

Thanks, the car is finally getting to where I want it. Pretty soon I'll actually be getting the bumper and side skirts painted and then only a few other things I'm wanting to do.

Well, figured I'd add more "history" to this thread.

This past Saturday I took a road trip to Las Vegas with one of my local B13 SE-R VE buddies. My car did well, but I found I had an alignment issue and the car was running a bit hot. I installed a Mishimoto 12" slim fan, but didn't have time to get it hooked up until today. It's currently kicking on when the "high" signal is sent.

I also got a few transmission switch connectors for my B15/P11 trans. I cut the old sensor wires off my old SE-R transmission to use so I can make patch cables to go from my P10 harness to the B15/P11 trans. I should have the patch cables finished and installed this week.

Let's see, what else is on the agenda in the near future...

Adjust clutch (it engages a bit high for me)
Install the copper gasket (primary to secondary) that I ordered yesterday.
Install replacement WideBand O2 sensor and start tuning!
Start cleaning up the spare engine harness I picked up last week.
Install updated harness and COP/Nismotronic combination.
Fix my rear door (won't open, has a broken plastic clip in there)
Finally get back to working on HID's!

Oh, and I fixed my oil leak. I had replaced the front main seal a few weeks back (and it did need to be replaced or reseated) because I thought that was the main source of my oil leak. Turns out it was the chain tensioner gasket or o-ring. Not sure which one? I replaced them both, and pressure washed the motor. She's looking MUCH better under the hood now! I guess I'll take some pics and post them in the next few days.
