I got the Ap2 silver radio door swapped out this evening in favour of the CR yellow carbon radio door, it's pretty simple once you've done it a couple times. I really like both styles of doors, but it's time to change things up once again.

 

Replaced a broken valve in the EVAP system and had to replace the ECM with a new one at the dealership and get it programmed. Wasn't cheap either!

 

Installed Billman TCT and reinstalled the Puffo intake this morning.

Battery is toast. Replace.




I think I jinxed myself. Looked again and the red light was flashing indicating a bad battery. That may be from the -15 cold snap we had.

Anybody know if I'm hurting anything by leaving it flashing. Hope to get it inspected in April without losing the codes

Unplug the Tender, check/twist the connections between the tender and the battery, and plug it back in. You may have lost a connection.

Good tip. I actually did this yesterday and it worked for a while before the bad battery light started flashing again.

Did it again on your suggestion and it seems to be working for a few hours, We'll see if we get to full charge. Battery is 6 year old

Installing some LED DRL's within front end, they mount behind the bumper grill. 10 watt LED x 2 fixtures. 5000 k colour

 

Removed the plastidip on my rims. Then I gave her a good wash.

Battery is showing full charge so it appears it was a lost connection.

Hope I didn't lose the codes but just a minor PITA if I did.

Probably have to spring for a new battery this year anyway

 

Hope this fixed it. I've seen it happen before. I'm debating a new battery this year too, but the original from 2003 is still plugging along! Part of me wants to see how long it will go.

 

new brake pads in the front to take care of some squealing noise from OEM pads. Probably first time it's been changed since car was new (2004 w/32k miles right now). No more noise, stopping power seems to be similar or slightly better (Stoptech Street Performance Pads; chosen because I could order via Amazon Prime with free 2 day shipping compared to other choices I had!)

 

Wow. 13 years on your battery? That's amazing!
