Ordered two connector kits for the front signals, the tail connector repair kit for the rears, and two new rear bulb holders today.
Front coilovers installed, no more low speed clunk over bumps. It started raining so the rears will have to wait until later this week. It looks great even with the stock rears.
Hopefully that helps. Old bulb holders getting high resistance. Sh&% happens.Quote:

An old Omaha Steaks shipping cooler was the perfect catch can for the coolant!

It is amazing how much crap accumulates between the radiator and the A/C condenser coil.

The evidence of coolant bleeding...Attachment 24982
After that I gave both cars a bath and even spent some time rubbing and waxing the hood of the zhp.

Afterwards, my daughter and I went for a drive to make sure nothing was leaking and ended up at GMA (Georgia Modelers Association) and got to see some awesome rc piloting! All-in-all a great day. Oh, and no leaks to be found!;):cheers
It's strange. The current holder leads and harness connectors look very clean and fresh. But there is a weak connection since one of the lower dim bulbs won't stay lit. Darn electrical gremlins.Quote:

Also took her for a nice little drive as well, first good run after the cooling system R&R.....needle stayed straight up the whole time. Don't have the coolant gauge mod done yet as I'm having trouble getting the PA Soft reader from China working correctly.
Oil change and replaced the oil level sensor
Now that I've pulled the reinforcement plate, im confident it's okay to use as a lift spot, and worth squashing the dimple.

It occurred to me today that the HID kit installed in my fog lights by the PO may also be contributing to my CANBUS errors and fast blink. I plan on removing the kit entirely, repairing any wiring that may have been tapped into or altered, and going back to some nice PIAA halogen bulbs in addition to rebuilding the connectors and replacing the rear bulb carriers. Still hoping that there is not any damage to the LCM itself.
