The "Look what i got TODAY!" Thread! Post them up guys!
Be careful with that oil cap rotors, I had the same one and it was a pain. Once you drive around for a bit and try to remove it, the mother doesn't want to come off. Your going to have to use a small phillips head wrapped with tape so you don't scratch it to pieces whenever you do an oil change, aside from that it looks hot.

After changing the whole intake thing my car had shown signs of needing a coolant system burp. I had done that with the 'dealership' method and the problem went away from the most part, however a few days later I noticed that the temp gauge was going like 1mm above the usual mark (but not getting any hotter than that). I did some research and came up with the Lisle funnel thingy.
So I got one on Tuesday:
...and went through the foolproof procedure... and got out some bubbles I still had in the system! This thing worked like a charm and with no mess!
To test the results, I took the car for a 4 hour mountain run and temp never went over the normal level.
And here's a pic I got out there today at about 7,000 feet... this road was a good test for the new suspension (which works great!). Although I said it would not happen, she ended up getting a drop, but this is about as low as she can go with the quality of the local streets and the multitude of speedbumps we have
