no they are the stock park/ driving lights fitted on the correct sides and they point the correct way on high beam.

however the panelbeater didnt affix them how I requested so they sit a bit proud of the bumper and it made it so the rubber bumperettes that fit between the park lights and the indicators don't fit. I'll get around to fixing it myself one day.

Well for annoying my environmentalist, granola bar eating, aspergers having, car (porsche) hating, neighbors, clearing out the remains of a bad venturi, and helping free up my ISV so the car will idle worth a sh*t (until I get the new one on...) it seemed to do its job. I don't expect much more than that.

I mostly just do it for the entertainment. I haven't done the math yet but I would guess that burnouts are becoming the more expensive option...

I installed my cylinder head, cleaned the 2 grounds at the back of the engine, put in my new heater control valve, and new cooling hoses for the heater control valve (all other cooling hoses will be replaced too). Look how fresh and shiny it is!

I've been having issues with my 944 dumping its coolant, when I turn the car off, after its been driven around and really warmed up. It looks like the coolant is coming directly out of the hose by the cap that is meant to release coolant. With that said, does it seem like a water pump issue? One of the members had mentioned that it could be the coolant cap seals (those are fine) or the H2O pump. - I would put this comment on the others as a chain, but cant for the life of me figure out how.

If you haven't already I would replace the coolant cap. They don't cost much. When my 944 was dumping coolant that is what I changed and the problem was fixed.

Today I got my torque tube aligned and bolted into the bellhousing on the lt1! It was pretty difficult considering I had taken the trans out, while trying to get the proper angle with the engine. I also got the starter bolted up, and a few other things buttoned down. It's a good day

Make sure that you're bleeding the system whenever you fill it up. I had the exact same problem when I didn't bleed it.

P.S. I'm in Reston, VA. Where are you? There are quite a few of us in NoVA. We need to get together sometime.

Got it. So I'm going to go ahead and order a new coolant cap and bleed the system before I refill it. I appreciate the advice fellas.

I actually live in Ashburn but I work in Reston right off of Sunrise Valley. I agree, we should get together. I see a guy on here that lives in Sterling too. I see his 944 driving around sometimes.

Left work early, took the long windy way home, and felt my stress disappear.
