Thanks, I responded to a WTB ZHP thread on e46f, the guy is looking for one under 100k, but why not. Another guy shot me a PM asking about it, we bounced a few PM's back and forth and it might happen. I told him I needed until about July 4th to get the car where I want it for its next owner. He didn't indicated he would challenge a $9k asking price. I think I can net $1k from the parts I have to sell, so I would be ok with clearing $10k.

I'm always all over the place on what to buy next, one week I want a AWD Tiguan, the next ax x1, the next an i3. I think I'm ready to defect to electric, at least give it a go for awhile anyway. We rarely take my car anywhere anymore anyway because the better half's CRV is just such a great vehicle for nearly all purposes. So an i3 should do fine for me back and forth to work (5 miles round trip) and a few errands on my days off. We'll see, a lot can change between now and July 4th, but I am going to start moving forward with de-modding the car and clearing out the attic.

From what I've seen, most people who sell their ZHPs for something that doesn't have an M in its model name tend to regret their decision. I wouldn't do it if those are your choices, but that's just my opinion. You'll have nothing to scratch the itch. An i3 is hardly a "fun" car.

Agree to disagree, have you driven one yet? Instant torque will snap your neck from a stand-still. I did an extended test drive last fall and loved most of it. I should probably see about doing another one if they still allow it.

This: (I guess I should've cleaned the MAF but i'll have a chance again soon, when I inspect the DISA someday soon)

If you say so.

Finally succeeded on fixing my trunk lights. Pulled open the rubber boot trunk one end a time. On the first boot connecting the trunk lid, Brown stripe on White wire was cut. Found out that this is one of the wires that controls the latching mechanisms that tells if the lid is open or closed.

Pulled open the other rubber boot trunk and slit a 3/4" to retrieve the other wire that goes inside the wire cluster. I was able to fish a new #18 AWG line and soldered to both cut ends. Shrink tube on both connections. Re taped the open slit. Put everything back together.

I'm glad that the cut was very accessible.

Can you explain what you mean by the rubber boot trunk ?
