Both of the C-clips on the headlight lift mechanism were in place, but they were too easy to remove. Installed the locking clips and oiled the arm joints.

My LH, is in Oregon, at Ott's Performance. Figured I'd clean the grounds while I'm waiting on return mail.

There's a bunch of oil in the Valley under the intake. I think, maybe the pipe from the blower, has lifted the filler neck, or the hoses under there are mush. Gotta check that out ASAP.

It's always something!

Sound like my son. We just did the fuel lines, busy with the a/c, and I want to remove the front suspension to clean everything.
And then there are brakes and a fluid flush.

Default Moving day

Get to drive a rear-engine Porsche for the first time.

Maybe I'll finally see what all the fuss is about.

Getting the Velvet Hammer ready for 3rd Coast next month. Today, an oil & filter change using Mobil 1 15W-50 along with a differential fluid change using Redline 75W-90NS. Up next - a visit to Sean Ratts for an ATI harmonic damper install along with timing belt/H2O pump change, brake fluid and PSD flush.

Today I lifted the front end, adjusted the LHD wheel bearing and cleaned the wheel wells with hot water and a lot of dish soap. Wheel wells look so much better!

Default Replaced this thing.

No idea how this thing could crack. Fortunately, it's a separate part. Who'd a thunk?

I assume that people think it's a button and try to push on it. Some probably get frustrated and push really hard.

Default Oil Filler Neck Scrubber & Clutch Master Cylinder

Fixed leaking oil filler neck, so added Kuhn oil scrubber while at it.




Quick drop-in to see fit before proper install with gaskets and Hondabond.



Then the miserable clutch master cylinder replacement. New mc, blue hose and GB long hose to the slave cylinder.




I wonder if the deterioration at the blue hose fitting was the source of letting air into clutch hydraulics?

Think I'm in good hands with both Sean AND Roger working on it. 😀

Default Less Disco

One of the previous owners of my 88 S4 installed a bunch of stuff from Jager Engineering including the 928 LED Gauge Illumination Kit (78-88) which offers pretty nice illumination but the blue color the PO choose is very cool and disco colored and I wanted to revert my interior back to stock.

Here is a shot from the Jager site and mine side-by-side


The kit replaces the OEM prism wedges with special ones cut for a LED bulb. Depending on the color you want they just put in a different color LED. I tried to have Jager Eng sell me just the LED but they would not do that. I was looking at new kit for $90. I did some research for alternatives and found this replacement LED: Wired 12V DC LED Pack which seems to be nearly identical to the product used by Jager.

Cleaned up my paint a little. Still a lot of work needing done. Love it when the water beds off with fresh wax.

Default Washed' cleaned and ready for a 620k mile hop
