Hahahaha thanks Russ the light is off thanks to the absurd method of reseting it. Thats 1 light down. Check engine is on for good though.

I wish I had more time to deal with the cars little issues. The AAM spacer for the fuel guage is leaking fuel bc I have no clue probably poor installation. The front bumper has dimples because the fitment is off and how it is mounted sucks I think. Weird noises blah blah blah. Cant wait till I check out of my flight training in 4 weeks and will have time to clear up some issues.

Well Joe, the only thing I've gotten fixed was my front bumper. I had the center bar shaved off and had the entire thing repainted. Looks 10x better IMO.

Ya ur bumper really needed a makeover. Glad you got it looking sharp again. They really chip very easy and the paint on my also flakes off real easy too. My bumper is a pain. After my rant about all that was wrong I took some time today to figure it all out.

1. Got an actual filter mounted onto the filter tube. Had to order a special small version and rig up a special coupler to get it to fit but its better then a piece of mesh screen.

2. Found out about the fuel leaking out of the fuel pressure sensor mount. The little rubber gasket on the fuel rail part is messed up and I think I needs a new one. Have yet to look into that.

3. The dimples in the bumper I tried to fix by drilling holes further back in the bumper but that didnt help. So no dice on that issue.

Anything good happening in Dothan this weekend?

Yeah, I'm curious what is causing your bumper to do what it's doing.

As far as dothan goes, I'm not sure. I'm headed back to up to bham friday night through sunday and possibly jacksonville monday and tuesday.

Not to thread jack but I'll have my Agency Power TI 3" Single exhaust for sale at the event if someone wants it. $450 cash or $500 shipped/includes pp fees. reason for selling... doesn't fit my CF diffuser. Also I'm willing to trade+cash for a JIC Ti single or amuse titan.
