Thanks - funny story I got the SES light today when driving it. After thinking about what could be wrong, i realized i forgot to re-connect the MAF and air inlet temp sensor. You can see them still disconnected in the picture. At least it was an easy fix

I finally found time to get her cleaned. Washed and buffed. Now just have to finish the job and put on a few coats of wax.

Bought some rubber axle bump stops to replace the long gone factory foam ones. Only $6 and some change from Advance Auto for the pair, hard to beat the price. Now just to put them on.

Car started having fueling issues last week, had to prime the pump two or three times to get it to start and then I had my fuel pump take a dump on me yesterday. Was idling and the car just died. Silver lining is it gives me a good reason to upgrade it now for my heads and cam install.

Went to a Koni Yellow setup, big difference over the Bilstein HDs.

Also for the first time in 15 years polished the car with Meguiars m105 and m205. Probably got 40hrs into it but the paint looks incredible now. Wish I would have taken a before and after pic of the WS6 emblem, it was dark and hazy, now has a mirror finish on it.

That's what I did. Downloaded all my pics from photobucket, and then reposted the ones I wanted to still show to imgur

Nice dryer! And half shafts

I usually use Flickr, much more user friendly and the capacity for much larger pictures to upload.

Put in high flow cats too. I had to cut out sections of the exiting exhaust and weld in some new bends to make them fit
