Chris let me know if you need a hand with it. i can run down and lend a hand, unless your relying on a shop to do it

Eh I still haven't decided on that one. Normally I wouldn't even consider taking it to a shop but I don't have the proper tools or a lift. There's a place not too far from me that rents shop/lift space though, so I may give them a call. I got a quote from NGP for $650 which I thought was fair. Also never done a clutch before, so I'm not sure if I'm confident enough to do it myself..

I have done it on jack stands in my garage and its really not that bad, but for 650 it makes sense to let them handle it.

Went to get oil and oil filter. Seems like inflation had made the cost of oil change go up to $90 now boo!

I installed chrome tips on the exhaust today lol :P

Finally tore into my throttle body/I.M. to clean that stupid EGR port over the weekend. PITA but worth it to not see that stupid CEL staring me in the face! Cleaned up the ICV and the throttle body while I was in there and replaced the rear cam plug seal on the back of the head. Also replaced the drivers and passengers side Upper CA's. Was a little nervous dealing with the pinch bolts for the first time on a car with 215000 miles on her, but with some MAPP heat and a BFH, I made em my Biootch....

There was a shipment delay. I know Beau and I are both waiting too. He's expecting them any day now.

Well. I bought from him and he didnt ship it immediately but it still arrived quickly. Just email him he gave me the usps tracking number. On another note, I removed my badges a4, 1.8t and quattro. Damn it looks so much better. Im getting ready to try to paint the lower valence so shell have a nice ***. A little nervous though.

Pulled out my Forge 007 and gave it a nice cleaning and regrease.

Then went and bombed up and down Grizzly Peak.
