    Looking for good mechanic LA<->SD areas

    No worries. I did take off the IAC and cleaned the gold spring looking thing that had a black layer on it. Nothing odd under where it was bolted. The EGR though was hard to take off as the second screw was hard to reach. I need a shorter phillips head

    I feel like I'm terrible at explaining myself. So it wasn't the seafoam specifically but the chevron fuel system cleaner. It could've been a pretty big coincidence that it threw the CEL the next day.

    Looking for good mechanic LA<->SD areas

    Hey guys. So some backstory on my car and I. I've had this car about 1yr now. The guy who sold it to me, I feel like cleared the CEL codes and me being excited to getting a new car, didn't think about it at the time. It took me a while to get those cleared and finally get the tags. It's been fun...

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    I didn't want to quote the picture but does that bar get in the way at all or does it rest flush with the back of the seats?

    A few random parts

    Love the feel of the short shifter, thanks. The only minor issue I have with it is, the stock one has a metal cylinder that holds the shift boot in place. Any suggestions on how to make it stay in place?

    Just installed an OBX short shifter I got from one of you guys here. Puts a pep in her step. I feel like I come out of first much faster.

    good place to order wheels other than Tire Rack or Discount Tire Direct?

    local, I think the online guys are good if you're ordering all four. Or sometimes TR has them cheaper when they need to clear stock.

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    Glad to hear. It was between that and synchromesh. I couldn't find the latter. I just have to replace my clutch now and it started slipping about 2 weeks ago so I can't say I really feel the difference.

    I've done this once before and it didn't quite work out. I had to take the adult path of getting my "need" parts over "want".
