Installing oil pressure gauge
Mostly warmed up was 11 psi at idle and 78 psi at 3k rpm.
That is a black Guage but pretty much the same, I got a silver 37mm micro gauge of eBay for $22.
Hooked up the power on the 5 amp garage door fuse.
I had everything done under the hood and did a quick twisting the wires together sticking out of the driver's door fuse panel just to test it out and see how it was working before I crimped wires together.
Posted the pics then went to my shop to get the crimp connectors and heat shrink to permanently attatch wires together and by habit I shut the door (oops) I pinched the 3 wires together in the door jamp shorting them out together and now the gauge is not working right, looks like I will be ordering another one tomorrow.

 

Installed the leather door pull covers on the rescue roadster . . . NICE quality and NICE fit . . .

Bought from E-Bay seller topgaiters. Different styles and stitching colors available . . .

RED DOG: I've installed the same covers in 2004 Coupe...really like them...installed this on the inside A-pillar covers (also from Top Gaiters)...Carl

 

Patted her on the backside on way to snow thrower.

 

Just put in a Sprint Booster on Saturday. Easy enough to access the nut securing the accelerator but as others have said....that washer removal is the tough part.....Dang! I also tried removing the panel on the right side of the drivers foot. That allowed me to see the wire connector but you'd have to be an elf watchmaker to get your fingers in and disconnect it. Back to the washer. I finally had luck prying it with a paint can opener. That gives a bit of upward pressure. Probably took an hour when "plink" it popped off. Accelerator comes loose and the wire connector is right there.....Easy at that point. Car now accelerates strong. I really like it. Feels like it should. Green setting is perfect, but even red is not too crazy with a manual tranny. I recommend! It works for me.

 

Took the cover off, opened the hood and put the trickle charger on her.

 

Those look great. Crumpy's SRT handles are delaminating bad. That is an impressive fix.


That said, she got a new battery, finally, today.

 

I agree! What's required to install them?

 

They just join together on the backside with velcro running the entire length.

 

Are you making Crumpy pay for her own parts / repairs out of her allowance money?

 

Well. Car got back from Body shop.
Trunk glass was replaced.
Dents fixed.
Replaced damaged side marker.
Replace all marker bulbs
Replace trunk struts



What I need to do is replace the pulley because after changing the belt, now the pulley is making noise (

I need to change fog light.. broken again

I need to find and replace these kind of rubber that is in the trunk area. It avoids vibration when trunk is closed...
NO IDEA WHERE TO FIND THEM?
CAN YOU HELP?

 

Just got back from a two hour drive. Some of the roads had a little sand on them and a few bridges had some salt but overall where the tire run was clear.

 

New shoes, Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Really like the handling

 

Installed new pyle dvc rear subs, almost threw in the audiobahn amd60h.
The pyle was minor modification but the audiobahn would have needed alot more, and they are svc.

I'd be interested in your continued feedback on those.

That's what I'm looking at for my next tire.

 

I will give you an update once I break them in a little.

 

To improve the seat comfort issue, today I had seats from an SLK 230 installed. They went in fine, electric and heated seat connections and all. These SLK seats are noticeably more comfortable. The upper seatback bolsters behind your shoulders are about 2" shallower than the stock seat, and this allows you to sit with your shoulders farther back and not pushed forward.


Also, since the SLK has a removable rather than integrated headrest, the seat back reclines further, adding more comfort.


I post this since over the last couple years on the forum I've noticed a few other posts about seat comfort.
Hope this helps anyone with a similar concern.

 

Is there a how-to that you followed to install these Pyle subwoofers? How is the sound compared to the stock subwoofers?
