Its lower, new braided stainless steal vac line, swapped out my halogen driver side light for a xenon, and threw in my d2s bulbs, got my high beams to work. I will be picking up a new passenger side mirror tomorrow, and possibly a short shifter next week.

**Turbwhistle** · 06-19-2012 07:26 PM

I forgot pictures.

Also, i polished my shift knob.

Low beams

**Turbwhistle** · 06-20-2012 06:38 PM

Thanks.... Lol

**Gdlaszako** · 06-24-2012 09:16 AM

pretty, I feel like your going to get a lot more bug on the front of your car at night now.

**Turbwhistle** · 06-24-2012 01:30 PM

It took me a while, but now i get it.

Also, i just ran put of gas on the mass pike bringing my friend to sell his wheels. Kind of sucks.

**Gdlaszako** · 06-26-2012 08:06 AM

is the car still there?

**Turbwhistle** · 06-26-2012 02:09 PM

No, i got a piggy back ride 4 miles down the road to the rest stop i was going to meet up with the guy at, filled it up and got home.

**Gdlaszako** · 06-26-2012 05:41 PM

cool, hate it when that happens

**Turbwhistle** · 06-26-2012 07:17 PM

Little up date, i re plasti dipped my grill, polished my muffler tips, washed my car, got a new mirror because the old one was cracked, i have black mirror caps i may put on rather then the silver, and i ordered a new coolant tank from EPL( yes EPL, i am now an official customer). Waiting for that to come in. I will probably take pictures tomorrow of my car and post them, nice and clean with the new plasti dip, and the polished exhaust.

Exactly...I meant it as a play on words, seeing your car develop from when I last saw it at Avantoberfest to today is nice......Great Job...!!
BTW how's work in your section...We just bid on a $140,000 interior remodel so the next 8 to 12 weeks are going to be busy.....

**Turbwhistle** · 06-30-2012 09:14 AM

I wouldn't really know. I am working at a lumber yard/ mill shop all summer, and during school. I still talk to my old boss, and he is steadily busy. Not to much new construction, but lots of siding, windows, and remodels. The people that come into the yard seem to be busy.

Also, thanks. Do you know if avantober fest is happening this year? Last i heard there were some issues from last year still happening. It would be great to meet up again, one of the best events i went to thus far.

**moyenecorniche** · 06-30-2012 11:15 AM

I don't know....Kneel is the one and I haven't seen anything on Facebook or here but it is still early and I suspect he is quite busy with his family and Job, so there is still time, however my offer still stands to help in any way I can from this corner of CT..
Hopefully I'll have the Avant ready as I had planned last year. This week will let me know if the mods I am currently looking into are feasible or must be put on hold..Once again...
I just partnered up with someone as projects are coming up and it is time to expand horizons....

BTW what are you referring to as issues on Avantoberfest...??

**happy2B5** · 06-30-2012 12:59 PM

And kneel wrecked his car recently, no? Was at the west coast avantoberfest in Tahoe and it was a good time. Would definitely like to do it again.

I think the last time i talked to him, it was fixed, or in the process of being fixed.

That's why kneel set it up east/west coast. Cars looking good.

**Turbwhistle** · 07-01-2012 10:49 AM

Thanks.

**Gdlaszako** · 07-01-2012 11:49 AM

I would go to the west coast but I don't have the time or money

**Turbwhistle** · 07-01-2012 04:14 PM

I would love to go, but no time.

**Turbwhistle** · 07-05-2012 08:09 PM

New coolant tank and some other stuff.

**Gdlaszako** · 07-06-2012 05:46 PM

eeewww!

**Turbwhistle** · 07-08-2012 01:59 PM

Check engine light came on yesterday.... Not happy.

**A3 Guy** · 07-08-2012 02:00 PM

Did you mess with the temp sensors when you did the new expansion tank?

**Turbwhistle** · 07-08-2012 02:18 PM

Coolant temp? I unplugged it and plugged it back in, but i get an accurate reading. I am going to get it scanned on night after work.

Check the connection...I had this issue with my E36, the temp sensor wasn't sealed all the way and needed some teflon tape to seal and i haven't had a CEL since.
