I haven't seen my car this glossy in awhile. Posting one last photo before the Seattle rain comes

Is that a factory color?

Retrofitted CIC, after the original CCC unit failed - it was boot looping like crazy!







Also (cheesy as hell I know!) fitted LCI climate dials and a silver Start/Stop button. Playing with the idea of swapping the Walnut for Glacier or Hex at some point.

Changed my grey (ugly) rooftop to a black one.
IMO everyone should do it, it changes the look of a car by 100$

Tried to figure out why I'm getting 93B2 code for the BST. Saw a lot of discussion about making sure the two-wire connector is seated properly and as far as I can tell, it is. Yet, the code still remains.

Hate seeing the damn airbag and seat belt lights on the dash, so maybe I'll go ahead and buy a new power distribution block that sits on top of the battery. Not sure if that is the issue, but at <60 bucks I guess it might be worth it.

Another option I guess would be an emulator... https://shop.blshop24.com/bst#E90 Anybody used those or built their own? Mine looks slightly different from that, though, so go figure...

Also installed a new gas cap since I've been getting gas cap warning almost on a daily basis as well as P0442 once. And, of course, got the gas cap warning again this morning on my way to the office. No code yet.

Gotta love these things...

getting ready for winter. Riced mode.

Installed new Eldor coils and Bosch plugs to get ready for winter, 19k miles on both sets of old ones so plugs were due, coils had plenty of life left I am sure, but with the FCP Euro lifetime warranty why not do them all at once!

Yikes...broken it while doing spark plugs??

Having just struggled with that hose - replacing it after breaking it while doing the valve cover replacement - I'm inclined next time to look into doing what someone on here recommended...which is to replace it with standard rubber hose, fittings and clamps. Search for his post, you'll find it.

Replaced perished front flexis with Hel braided lines, and tinkered with my tailgate wiring to try and resurrect my tailgate locking... Brake lines went fine. Wiring fixes had no effect. :|

[Tambohamilton]

Nothing...except it won't lock!

Had to replace my lower radiator hose today. I was thinking if I should replace my ac pulley today, went to check if the kit i got off the ebay was correct (it was), but when I saw that my lower radiator hose is very noticeably leaking from where the actual rubber hose is clamped to the fitting. Shame on me for not replacing that hose when I had to replace my radiator. I had a hose on hand but couldn't connect the wiring plug to the temperature sensor because of clearance issues with sensor retaining clips. However, today I was able to nudge one of these clips which was too close to the sensor and interfering with the plug, to the outside and it clicked and moved to correct position.
I had issues with heat since my thermostat to cylinder head hose broke off, and today after I got the lower radiator hose replaced, I got some nice warm air blowing inside the cabin)

I hav a similar issue, mine locks and engage but it opens without press of key fob yes i hav CA, if i open boot with key in my pocket it opens but sets off alarm. Point bring it opens with or without the key.

[Tambohamilton]

Yeah, that's basically my problem, except I don't have CA. Can open the tailgate any time; it'll just set off the alarm if the car was actually locked.

I'm thinking replace the lock/actuator, if I can't find any wiring/fuse issues.

I replaced push button, and the lock actuator to no avail
