KIDS2000, won't be any high load runs for a while. Have to break it in for a bit and besides, winter's almost on us.

vapors2k, no unusual noises so far but haven't had much chance to drive it. It was late when I finished. But today.........

ItalianBucwheat, no air tools of any kind ........... pure grunt work.

If the weather holds out a few more days, I'll have the chance to "play" with it a bit more. I'll give an evaluation then.
Thanks guys.

Xviper-

Great work. Thanks for posting this up for all of us to see and enjoy.

I can't wait to hear your impressions after you have broken her in.

PS - I can't remember, did you get the Yellow Box thingy to correct your odo and speedo?

Yes, I did. I'm actually on my way out now to make the adjustment. I've had it on my car for about over a month now with no correction. I tried it once with a "phoney" correction and it worked like a charm.

Wow, things look so easy when you do it. Your S is a lucky car to have a very good driver and mechanic as its owner.

Now what are you going to do for the rest of your vacation?
