Cleaned it inside and out and fitted the powerflex lower engine mount bush kit.
How hard can it be?

Installed my audison bit ten DRC in the ash tray


What is the rocker switch next to the TPM for?

Originally it was so I could turn my old sub on and off separately from the front of the car. Now its in the remote line from my bit ten to the amp although I just leave it on all the time as the bit ten does the remote on automatically.

Just wrote a lengthy email to Martin Winterkorn, CEO of VW in the hope of getting my rust fixed. See my posting in general area. What a kerfuffle!  :laugh:

So, did lots today. Finally made some vids. I changed the oil and filter, love having the Fumoto drain valve, and then changed the cam follower with video made, cleaned the intake valves with a mineral spirit blow-by with video made, and did a few more short how to diy vids. I still have to get the vid loaded and clipped for youtube. Sure runs better with a more responsive throttle after the valve cleaning.

What? Why was I included in this quote? I just said that I have the black ones and that I like them, meaning the control rings, whatever their finish. Not sure of what 'cheeky' means, but I surely didn't mean to offend anyone nor did I say "chrome ones look cheap and nasty".

I entered the topic simply curious if the rings the OP wrote of were similar to the ones available here.
