All kinds of crazy instructions on the new clock spring, I hope it all makes sense when I pull the wheel off

OK - Marc and his Mod bug (he has money)

so I quickly ran out and fixed something that had bugged me since I bought my seats - I re-painted the seatbelt feedthru parts (which had speed yellow on them)

PICS
dark out... but looks better, last pic is a "before"
I have always taken pics carefully making sure not to show that too much, feels better......

plus I got to go OT on Marc thread

Ed, looks good!

The "before" pic would have looked good with a yellow GT2 wing!

If you haven't taken the air bag out yet could you please have video or better yet a live feed at an angle that would show you being slammed backwards Make everyone pay like pay per view. Just mucking about. It should be easy work if you follow instructions. Maybe have the sharp objects like the fancy screw driver out of your hand when lifting the cover off

Well, I did the clock spring, not a hard job at all... thus I was able to do it

reset the airbag light and went for a spin to get the car inspected, it passed! .. was overdue since January.
The airbag light has not come back so I am hoping that was the issue, The light usually come back on within a minute or two of a reset.
I cant do the airbox cause I don't have the goofy bit to remove what I guess is the airflow sensor, what the hell is that called? size?

After my car towels com out of the dryer it's polish and wax time... guess I will play ball with the dog while I wait

Awesome day off, weather is perfect! Couple of nice cigars. This is the life.

Looking forward to cars & croissants tomorrow Frank! even without fisterD's
