Took it to the dealer and they ordered the 2 valves for the cooling system. Bought an extended warranty. It is the best one I could find.

Took mine back to the dealer for a P0496 emission code.

Mine passed emissions. But it still throws a code now and then.

Trying to get the recessed grills painted. I bought the paint a week ago and I now have a renewed appreciation for those that do it for a profession. Have to prime again as I've been having issues.

A few more days and I will post pictures.

STILL waiting for CCW to get my wheels built. But, the weather is great (FINALLY) so I decided to work on the car. Having already swapped to heavier springs a few weeks back I thought I would check the alignment in prep for the Solo season. Seems like it sat higher with the stiffer springs (Duh, huh?), and I thought I had adjusted the collars enough. WRONG. So, measured the cambers, put the car up on stands, dropped the collars another 1/2", and aligned the car to -2.7 deg front and -1.9 deg rear cambers, put it down on my home made skid plates, did a string job to set the toe settings, confirmed my cambers, and took it off the plates. Two and half hours. It's getting quicker!!!

Now I wait for the wheels.

Cried as I watching it rain 10" at my house flooding everything... except the garage. At least Lindsey is okay... Basement, that's another story.

I have my Rally stripes for install from ASAP, any last minute advice, lessons learned on graphics installs before I start on Wenesday afternoon???

Last night while driving home my A-pillar gauge illumination went out. I realized it was nice not to have those red lights staring me in the face during a relaxing drive. Today I fixed the loose wire tap and installed a switch so I can turn them off at will.

Added 4 ExtremeContact DWS tires...
after hearing all the good press these tires were getting here and elsewhere, I replaced the stocks.
What a difference!

Looking forward to the dragon with these tires!

Ordered a Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT nav unit. It is their flagship unit. I got it for 999.00 and I get a 200.00 rebate which cuts it to 799.00. Crutchfield wants 1399.00 with a 200.00 rebate for total of 1199.00. Ordered all the accessories Joe said I needed. He will install it for me.

clay bar before you put them on. Then use soapy water.

elff · « **Reply #563 on:** March 31, 2010, 04:25:00 PM »

I drove mine today
WOOT.
Gonna put the top down for the ride home.

GXPinKC · « **Reply #564 on:** March 31, 2010, 05:24:34 PM »

The sun was brightly shining and it was beautiful outside and I had some things to do so I had taken off for the day my volunteering for the Kansas University Medical Center and put the top down and drove my baby. That's what I did! Prior to that I worked out at the Prairie Life Center and walked 5 miles on the track. Tomorrow is another great day weather wise so Miss Red Eagle gets to go out again as I have my appointment with my Trainer at the Prairie Live Center. I recommend to anyone to join a YMCA or health club.

We have had some rain last week so could not drive the Eagle, and when winter finally ended we found out that it was the most snow ever recorded in Kansas City, (45 inches for the winter).

Then it rained for two weeks and now back to sanity. Life is good again!

I painted the center honeycomb of the recessed grills. Tomorrow I blow in the outer ring. I'm not a painter but this has been a learning experience to say the least.

I now have more respect for those that do this for a living.

Put the insurance back on it...usually do it May 1 ..but it was 75f here today.. and 10 days this month new high temperature records were set..the snow normally this time of year is 2 feet on my driveway in front of the garage..no snow no rain and forest fire season has started..strange days indeed

Critterman · « **Reply #567 on:** March 31, 2010, 07:39:56 PM »

Took the long way home with the top down, it is so much fun to have the rear squiggle when you hit the gas..............

JimmyBaja · « **Reply #568 on:** March 31, 2010, 07:51:21 PM »

Broke the door handle for the 3rd time!!! These handles are made like crap. Anyone else have this experience?

elff · « **Reply #570 on:** April 01, 2010, 12:00:30 AM »

My Driver side handle is hanging on for dear life.
I'm going to see if I can have the dealer replace it with a Black one so I don't have to rewrap it.
Whatever happened with the aftermarket ones?

1LILNDN · « **Reply #571 on:** April 01, 2010, 12:43:49 AM »

I installed a pair of black cobalt Handles on mine and the OEM's were still like New and worked like new.

smartin · « **Reply #572 on:** April 01, 2010, 10:24:01 AM »

My handles work fine!

Brad Kenny · « **Reply #573 on:** April 01, 2010, 10:30:16 AM »

Today is the wash, clay bar, and ASAP graphics Rally Stripes install, day ONE!!!
