Time for an UPDATE! It's been a minute!


Got a lot of little things done, but unfortunately nothing that I can cross off the To-Do List...


- New filter on the cold air intake = notable difference in mileage per tank (400km on 38L, compared to 360km/40L before)


- Trying out a new motor oil, Lucas Oil 10W40. Seems to be running more smoothly, sounds like it anyway...


Headlights: Blue halos have been moved to surround my daytime-running lights, so that we can still see them when full headlights are lit. Support rack behind driver's side headlights also fixed: the Shoopster had a droopy eyelid, one of the headlights had fallen inside and was pointing down to the ground


- Transmission fluid: 2 flushes completed, 2 more to go. The first flush, we drained 2 litres and added 3.5  Anyway a huuuuuge difference in my E-4AT shifts


  • And finally, the check out the Shoop's new digs! Every time I leave, it's Open Shoopster-Bay Doors and countdown to Shoopster launch

CEL P0420, reset twice, waiting to see if it comes back a 3rd time.


Yesterday I noticed that the BOV was way too soft (opening too soon, throttle lag), and so we hardened it again. Lag's improved, but CEL returned (so, this was the 2nd time).


Oh yeah and this happened:



STi V5's + Nokian Nordman 4 (not studded) 205/55R16
