I know I didn't use punctuation. Guy at work always goes away on vacation March 1st. He figures you can live through the snow til Christmas, and then Christmas is pretty. By mid Jan, everyone's lights are down, and February, you get hammered with .... well, what we're getting now. So, as things just start to thaw Mar 1, but you're still in for another month or two of crappy weather, he heads south and gets a week or two of sun. Sets him up for dealing with spring showers. But look on the bright side. You're not foolish enough to try month long kitchen renos right now, moving yourself into your upper floor and living out of a spare bedroom as a make-shift kitchen. Heh. What kind of fool would do THAT?
The moment a turbo spools, all your dreams are made possible.

Damn, that's awful.
But hey, it's a cold grey day here in Dallas today. The wind is blowing, the rain is intermittant, and it's hovering at 5c.
This weekend it'll be even worse: Sunny, clear and in the mid to low 20's.
Terrible.
I want an RS4.

Well, pulled the covers of her today, fired it up! Took a bit of cranking to get the fuel prime as I have a leaky sending unit (replacing) but she weathered the winter VERY well. No musty smell in the cabin, no frame rust or moisture on it due to the tarp I put under it, everything looks great.
Since it's going to be so BEAUTIFUL tomorrow in Sudbury, I'm going to start the tear down and wire tuck.
FINALLY SPRING'S HERE!!!

LOL, isn't that the truth. Started tearing into mine today. I did a wire tuck for the wires that run across the IM, they are now hidden in the middle of it, and I've turned my injectors so the wires don't show. Got rid of that damned red wire loom too! Pulled the front off and removed the FMIC (Jay, it's ready for you) as well as removed the Fuel Sending unit to get the Walbro 190 I'm selling out. Now my engine bay looks like it puked, all the wires all over the place. Next task next weekend: Relocate the fuse box to where the SMIC used to be. It's good to be back.

That's a pretty dusty, wet, dirty spot for the fuse box, isn't it? Or is this car a Sunday driver? Definitely gets it out of the way.
I redid all my grounds today on the new rig. Previous owner had the battery relocated to the trunk and there were a few pretty sketchy grounds but they're good now.
Figured out my coolant leak is coming from where the main water line connects to the water pump. No big deal since I have to take the manifold and turbo off anyway and I was already planning on flushing all the fluids.
The starter problem, on the other hand, isn't looking so good. Had a look at the teeth on the flywheel and they're chewed up pretty good from repeated use of a starter that wasn't engaging properly. So, hopefully I can just replace the starter and it will be ok 'cause I really don't want to have to change the flywheel on my new car.

See, I'm going to put the fusebox wires side up, and put the shrouds there, so it should keep it decently dry. Probably fill the wiring area with some sort of non-conductive goop.
Good to know you got a few things fixed today. Hopefully the starter just has to be replaced and you don't have to do the flywheel.
