Designing adapters for cold air intake motors.

I sprayed WD40 in the vacuum hose near the venturi in a forlorn attempt to avoid having to replace the ISV.

Tonight I installed the RBM.
It is loud for sure and the tone is not closer to a euro sound like I am seeking.
I will leave it like this for a while as it is not loud when cruising, only when you get on the loud peddle.

I am thinking of replacing the resonators with some bottle mufflers and seeing what the tone change is.

Has anyone tried this yet?

I started the car after leaving the WD40 to soak overnight to find it had actually worked! I have a stable idle again - it doesn't get any better than that.

Cleaned some grounds, made the lights a little brighter. Also got the 1 Amp fuse for slot 26 in the Fuse Panel and replaced it. Going to clean more grounds later this upcoming week since it started raining and will continue this whole weekend.

I heard Cold Play "Fix you" on the radio while working on the car and it motivated me to look for other things to work on.

Detailed the interior. Went the extra mile this time and fixed the carpet on the driver's side. My sound deadening was all rotting away and the carpet that is supposed to be glued to the firewall was in a little pile at my feet. I took a tip from the passenger side, got myself a thin piece of plywood, glued the carpet to that and put it in place. I don't think it's looked this good as long as I've owned it!

The air compressor does wonders fluffing up the pile of the old carpet, too.

Had enough of the warped panels needing washers the size of silver dollars to keep them attached. They also didn't fit flush and had an untidy appearance.
Sorry, didn't think to take before pics, but you can imagine.

Below are the original panels. I used a 2mm thick acrylic sheet from Lowes, and used the old panels as best I could to trace a template for the cutting. I chose the 2mm thick acrylic, for the original panels were between 1.9mm and 2.5mm when measured, and were HIGHLY irregular. The two pics of the cut panels were best shown against a black background. These weren't final in that I rounded out any sharp ends. I carefully removed the carpets, and washed them in cold water on the delicate cycle in the washing machine. As Dr. Bob said, I placed them flat against the drum for the spin cycles. I sized them up against new panels and used a hot glue gun to attach the folded over edges first. I then used Loctite Spray Adhesive (300 Heavy) to adhese the carpet to the new panel. It is water/heat resistant, and listed for wood, metal, acrylic, carpet. It sets quickly, so be sure you have it sized up first with the folded over edges bonded. I then used screw cover caps (from Lowes) to cover the flathead screws I used. These covers acted somewhat as a washer, and covered the matting down of the carpet that years of washers had caused. These screw covers come in white, black, and brown. I painted mine a light silver to try to match the best I could. The acrylic, I think, was a good choice for it won't warp, the carpet adhered excellently, and was flexible for the re-install.

Add: Sorry the pics are out of sequence with the text. I also couldn't manage the text with the pics.

Aerospace 303'd the heck out of the plastic bits, hoses and wiring in the engine bay.

Put the seats back in and took it on a test run - buck thirty five on the autobahn - and it felt great. First real drive since winter. Working on the "how I put the leather on" thread...

Installed adjustable FPR, set to 46 lbs cold. Started up, went for a drive and left some black lines in the road. Next weekend, Road America.

Brushed some Silverknit with a brush designed for cats like this - no comments Brad...

Even after cleaning the pile tends to stay matted. I found that a cat brush with fine metal bristles works wonders in separating the pile fibers and restoring the original softness.

Went to change the fog light bulb yesterday and ended up stripping the head of the screw holding the assembly in place.

Decided not to divorce the 928 and pulled the MAF and LH for rebuild.... FedEx'd it to Mr. Ott. Signed up for SITM. Looking to stay married to the 928
