Wrong thread. Try this one. It would have popped up first if you used the search on the right side.

Had stopped by SAMs and saw they had an immediate $80 discount on the Pirelli p7 h rated. Picked up the set of 4 for only $475. Pretty happy with that price and hope I'm as happy with the ride. They had to order them so should be here next week. I think that rebate ends on the 12th if any one else is interested.

Just replaced the drive belt and did the airbox hack. That first pull put a big smile on my face, this stuff is better than pills.

Hit the leather with some VLR to keep it plump and amazin. Ran some new vacuum hose to my MAP sensor. Moved the pile of crap removed from the car from three corners of the garage to one giant pile.

Thinking about putting the hood back on but we will see.

These days ours doesn't get much road time, might get driven a couple times a month. Today it went to the gas station and a grocery run. Was to lazy to get up and head over to the Westminster meet. Bad moderator to not support the forum.

Having an expert on these ECU's fix the one from our '94. 1 of the 5 leaking capacitors did some damage that is going to be tricky to fix as seen in this pic.
