glad you figured it out because i couldn't make a definitive call on whether they were straight through or not just by looking at them. spoke with the dealership i bought the car from again today, and they've decided that they might help me out some on the repair costs, but they wanted one of our indy shops around here to take a look at it first. so i will literally unbolting the transmission from the engine when they decided this, so i just got done throwing everything back together so it can get looked at on tuesday. oh well, i guess them paying for some of it is much better than nothing, so we'll see what comes of it. if anything i guess i'll just have to take it back apart again, but it'll be much easier the second time around since i've already done it.

 

I put on my summer wheels/tires, washed, waxed, vacuumed, and detailed mine today
Too bad its not amazingly sunny out but there was still time for a nice ride.

 

Replaced alarm motion sensor button on doorjam.

I'm sure I'll come to regret this...but I put on the caps that cover the lugbolts.

If I get several tons of stone spread today, I might go after the fuel filter.

Driveline fluid still pending......

Still taking baby steps, while researching best exhaust solution.

 

did the Tip recode to 01032. Love it

 

New Rims Today!!!!

 

Positives and negatives this week...tore the throttle body boot (negative). However, got APR bi-pipe and their new R1 diverter valves. Expensive, but very worth it.

 

Whats the difference in the tip codes folks are using? Boston Driver is on 00030, I think, but 01032 is cited above. Gotta check it out, either way.

Today- changed fuel filter...finally. Folks were saying in front of rear wheel, I figured that meant that it was between wheel well lining and the body. Jacked the car up and DOH, right there at the floorpan.

Did the transmission fluid. Only got 4qts or so changed, which stinks becuase the stuff that came out had all the viscosity of tap water and was pitch black. Not too much clinging onto the magnets though. That fill procedure is for the birds...

Did rear diff fluid- it looked pretty good.

Tomorrow hoping to fit pipercross air filter, and to fluid in middle diff and front gearset....I'm getting perplexed by the different boxes and names for them though. My VR4 had front and rear diffs and a transfer case. The final drive terminology is throwing me off, I think.

 

WE were so slow at work that I had time to do my Timing belt, also installed a new coolant temp sensor.

 

Center or intermediate diff/drive whatever fluid change. Nice stuff came out, redline went in. Seems to be a little less gear/drivetrain noise. One more gearbox to go in front of the trans.

Also slammed a gi-normous new england pothole, got a flat, and think I knocked one of my 17" sport rims out of round..[:@]
