It's sedan

Has Turner Motorsport stopped putting together maintenance kits and cooling system kits? The links to the kits I used show them as no longer available. I shot them an email but haven't heard anything back.

Actually clicked the overhaul kit link yesterday and saw it was no longer available. Appears as though they still have maintenance kits with a build your own feature to customize. Maybe they'll take the same approach with the overhaul kit in the future.

Wonder why

Just conjecture, but keep in mind that Turner was bought by ECS in the last year or so. I figured when it happened that they would probably realign store priorities sooner or later, with ECS selling to the regular crowd and Turner concentrating on racing/Autocross crowd....but then again I don't know anymore than anyone else!

Most likely the case since ECS already sells the cooling kits.

I had been wondering why a bunch of parts I purchased from Turner a few weeks ago had ECS pick labels on them, lol.

Here's the links to what I purchased for my cooling system overhaul:

The last link is a kit that replaces all of the coolant hoses and pipes. Here's just the upper and lower radiator hoses to save some money:

WeissLicht Illustro FLEX LED's for high-beams on a facelifted coupe (I just typed "facelifted couple", fwiw): any tips from owners here? It's a bit daunting and Bimmian's installation guide is a few seconds of a longer promo video.

There really isn't much to it. I installed these in my sedan housing - I can't imagine the coupe housing being much different. Take cap off, take out old bulb, and put new bulb in. Spread out the heatsink ribbon and stuff it inside the housing along with the small resistor box. It's a tight fit, but doable. It's a lot easier if you take your headlight out.
