Yep, I've killed about $200 worth of those gloves in my car-modding lifetime.  They're fantastic and without them, my hands would look like they went through a pencil sharpener by now.

Yep, although you can get barbed 90 degree nipples to make the tight turns and use the silicone for the straighter runs between them.

Heheh, it's always that way with a female member of a forum.  I used to see that all the time on the other forums I used to be in.  Noobs would ask a question akin to someone here asking "what BOV should I run on my 1.8T?" and would get killed for it, and then a woman would ask the same question, and everyone would rush in to nicely explain that BOVs are a bad idea.  Not sure why that is, but it happens.

Heh, if I get a chance to get out and play today, maybe I can swing by and pick you up for some snow drifting:)

Heheh, nice job - now we're even for bonehead moves (one of my powerslides cost me a lower a couple weeks ago).  I have the right tools if you wanna take your steering wheel off and straighten it out lol.

Yep, just sand it with 600 grit and use adhesion promoter, and spray plenty of very light coats, and it should come out nicely.

Yeah I thought he was bi-polar for a minute until I figured it out - he does have different replys addressed on each box, but quotes would be easier to understand.
 
Srry for the cutting, Sineo - how's your dog (Fang)?

He's crazy, as always. He and my other dog (another pug) are battling for alpha dog slot and I thought it was funny until the little one (Fang) started winning and I can't have any of that...the other dog is almost 12, so no fair. How about yours? Eaten any coke cans or babies lately?

The only thing I had in mind so far was replacing the vac lines with silicone ones and new spark plug wires.  I'm thinking yellow.

Thats a cool idea! I might do that to... I am planning on doing my VC gasket today but I don't really have time to paint it today. Hmm... decisions decisions.

BTW, how is the fog light install coming?

Do it.  It only takes an extra hour.  I did mine and its so much nicer not having the engine cover on any more

Yeah I don't have my cover on either. I am thinking maybe just flat black but IDK yet. What color did you paint yours?

Josh

P.S. sorry for thread jacking sineo.

I think all of the engine enamels are going to be pretty glossy.

Yeah thats true.

Are you using part of your air-box to tilt the fan???

No, I didn't...I thought I would get to it yesterday, but other things came up . Now it's looking more like Saturday.
