I replaced my brittle plastic crankcase breather hoses with aluminum pipe like I saw on bshusted's V6. Turned out OK, I'm not a great pipe bender.



Had to shave a little on the shroud to get it over the pipe here.

Doors now freshly LEDed


How do you replace/remove the red door marker lights?

So my ABS light has stayed off and the ABS has worked great. The airbag light came back on. I contacted the ebay seller and they apologized and gave a full refund including shipping. They said the error had to be corrected with the module in the car? Anyway, I bought an airbag reset tool on ebay for about $40ish and it cleared the code. We will see how long this lasts.

You have to buy clear ones, to take them out just take a small pick and pry the small indent in the light up, pops right up

I swapped in a used Hotchkis sway bar kit I bought from 209AudiGuy here. Nice upgrade. The ride feels just slightly stiffer over some bumps, but not much at all. You feel less roll going around a corner at 15 mph, but you really feel it changing lanes quickly at 60 mph. Turn in is quite a bit quicker. It's a real nice upgrade with almost no ride penalty.

Full Syn Oil and Gearbox fluid change
Sunroof switch fix
New Tires
Sanded and cleared Headlights and fogs
New Tie rods (inner and outer - both sides)

Cooling system flush
Sunroof gutter drain flush/clean
New cabin air filter
Rear fog mod (love it!)

...and that's it (for now)

Replaced my valve cover gasket and coolant flange. I'm lucky that's all I've had to do in about 6months, I'm trying to launch my own buisiness so money is tighter then ever
