Is that an original Aerokit C4S? Very cool, wish mine was. Love the look. Very nice pics, beautiful area of the desert.
Doesn't look original to me, but it DOES look nice!

In case you wondered, a 32” TV fits perfectly in the back of a 4s.

Would never fit in one of those skinny narrow body cars.

I haven’t been to Death Valley since I was probably 10. Sunshine looks good.

Ordered up a decent looking used manual three spoke wheel to convert to a paddle shift, based upon some of the ones I’ve seen with Mercedes sourced paddles.

We were there about a month ago in wife's Subie. Late winter and spring surprising how interesting and beautiful desert can be. Artist's Drive we were really enjoying the rapid ups and downs in road.

if you get out there early, before it gets crowded, the artist loop may be one of my favorite drives anywhere.... that one section between the stone cliffs... the echo from my exhaust .... seems even louder than a tunnel.

Had this installed this afternoon. Now I get to wash my cars with soft water! No more water spots!

Finished up my injector swap last night. Not sure how my car was running fine though:



One of the leads for the fuel pressure regulator was disconnected. Wouldn't that manifest some type of symptom?

If we are looking at the same thing, then that's the oil pressure sender. Would give false or no oil pressure reading.

Ah, ya, you're right. This is what happens when you work on your car at 11pm.
