Car is running well. I put a new oil filler pipe on last week. Broke the crappy coolant flange so coupled the lines with a brass barbed coupler held in place with velcro to the block. If the old one had broken on the road, it would have left me stranded. Old plastic in the engine compartment is NOT reliable! Leaving tomorrow morning for Montana. Car should be all ready to go!

Car is running great. This fill includes the fill from Sterling ~130 miles. Found a cracked oil filler tube on the car and will change out the oil level sensor at the same time. Still waiting on parts. FCP Euro shipping sucks and I will not order from them again. Might wash car tomorrow.

Changed the oil and filter today. The oil looked clean, the filter had no bits or metal. Drained 6 qts out, put 6 qts. in. EvoSyn 0w-40 plus 12 oz. Camguard. Ordered some Cerratec today and will add that this week. Sent sample to Blackstone to see how the EvoSyn is doing. Looking for lower lead values. Edit: I drained out the filter 2X for a total of 32oz. oil. then added 2X bottles of CeraTec for a total of 20 oz. So, my total fluids added for this oil change are: 6qts + 12oz Camguard - 32oz oil + 20oz. CeraTec = exactly 6 qts. The level shows at the 2nd line down on the OBD display or one space empty. Right where I want it. But, is this accurate??? I ordered a new level sensor and a new filler pipe as mine is cracked.

This is just the top-up before heading out to DM tomorrow via Neb. City. Car is running well. the F. suspension is quiet after the replacements and the Ceramic pads are quiet and hopefully dust-free. All ready for the road trip!

Okay, inner and outer tie rods all replaced. Also R&R'd all control arms and the sway bar links on each front corner. The sway bar bushings looked just fine so left those in. No more creaking and the car still seems nice and straight so I doubt anything was compromised in the alignment. After the tie rods, had to go back in and give the right side one more turn. Perfect after!

Car is running great. R&Ring inner and outer tie rods soon, as I have about 1/16" play in wheel side to side. New Delphi with life warranty from RA. Also got new ceramic brake pads for the fronts to do away with the dust. Will do those soon too.

Car is running great. New air filter (Hengst) a couple of weeks ago. And new Denso cabin filter. Tried without cabin filter for a drive and no improvement in air flow inside w/o fan on. The warmer ambient temps are good for "warm up" fuel economy. Maybe by about 10%!

Car is running good. Changed the air filter (Hengst), cabin filter (Denso), and washed the car last weekend. No issues! May experiment with removing the cabin filter just to see if air flow improves. If so, maybe make a porous foam filter of some kind to get more air into the cabin.

Car is running good! Installed the new passenger door speaker this week. All went well - no rattles now. The foam was all torn out on the old one just like on the driver door speaker.

Car is running good. Front end creeks after washing. Need to get it up on the rack when the weather looks up. Also, still need to R&R passenger door card to inst. new speaker. The free rear tires turned out to be front tires so no sale!

Car is running great. This is the first tank with the Evolve oil 0w-40 and the Liquid Performance ethanol / fuel treatment. With that, the car has no knock and the 'notch' at about 2700 rpm's seems gone. Hard to say, but I think the oil and fuel treatment are a very good combo. With winter gas, noticably better mpg's with the Evolve oil.

Car is running good. I insulated the driver door speaker today to seal the gap around it and keep the cold out. Also replaced the 2 broken panel clips. It went well and I'll get to the passenger door soon. I changed the oil last week. Put in the Evolve EvoSyn 0w-40 all veg oil. Seems good. Oil temps MIGHT be 5-10 degrees higher but can't say for sure. Evolve is supposed to conduct heat better whatever that means! I did not use any Camgaurd. Also looking for better engine lube and mpg's so we'll see. The next oil test should be quite interesting. 7.5 qts. came out and I put 6 qts. in and it reads at the 3rd line down which is right where I want it. The math doesn't quite work but I'll just start with 6 qts. from now on.

Car is running good. Put a new driver door latch in last week. Had lubed it and the oil must have shorted something out. Tough job but it went well and now the latch works good. Washed the car today. I've been playing with programming with the Foxwell scan tool. I now have side markers that flash with the turns, daytime headlights, and fixed rear spoiler.

I also replaced the blown woofer in the door w/ new Alpine 6.5" speaker in place of the 8" (7.5?) that came with the car. It sounds good. Had to modify the install w/ clips I made. The latch install was a brutal job made doable on the UK911.com site. Jonttt did an awesome write up. I could not get the new Vemo (RA) latch electric socket to "click" when plugged in, so if I lose electrics, that's why! A 3 hour job took me 3 days stopping and starting. Very frustrating but very satisfying to have done it. Saved thousands!

The automatic window lowering feature was not working after I lubed the drivers side door latch. Driver courtesy lights were not working either when the door was open. Door open, no lights and window would go up meaning I had to either keep handle "open" or window down a bit when closing the door. Internet says: "bad door latch". So, R&R'd the latch and all is now well.

Car is running good. This tank is winter gas. Put on the new B6 front struts last week. They are great. Car drives better and is more stable in cross winds. The install went fine and I think I have the camber right on. I put in a new Duracell #49 no maint wet cell battery this Sat. It had good specs and was 20% off. Not an AGM but may be better. I need to lube all hinges and reprogram the door opener. Otherwise, all's good.

This was the total trip to DM and back. Car ran great. Winds cooperated. Drove speed limit the whole way. Lowest octane available with the Lucas additive. No issues. Hit a deer part (ribs?) on the way back. No damage that I've found but I need to get under the car and check the panels. May have a crack.

This tank included 260 miles up to Saratoga and back. I added 5 gal when I got home which is why the miles and gallons are higher. Car ran great! No issues at all presently.

Car is running great. Love the LTT as engine runs 20 degrees cooler. Had breakfast this morning with the local PCA folks. This tank is 85 as well as the new tank. Can't see any difference with the 87.
