Well Happy New Year to All Tipec Members and 928 owners.
I wanted to get loads of 928 jobs done whilst I was off over Xmas & New Year and especially this week as I am supposed to be off work, but alas it hasn't worked out that way.
Have been using the 928 up until last week and now put it into the garage away from the snow & salt. Not really warm enough to work on it but I am going to try to get in there.
For Christmas I got my LED light set off ebay...the brightest I could find and the shortest in length @ 250mm long with 24 LED's. I am planning to take off the front light lenses and fix them up into the lens at the top so you can't see them by day and they don't show or affect the light. Was going to put them at the bottom of the lens but you would notice them in the daylight...just...I think. I have some upgrade Blue white LED bulbs to fit at the same time. I will take photo's and do a short write up for the list when I get it done.
I read with interest on the 928 list that someone replaced their front light lenses for new and they gave a better brighter light image????....interesting, I clean mine regularly ass they do get mucky but wonder if I should polish mine when I take them off the car to do the modification? How to polish the inside of the lens I don't know but guess thats where most of the work needs to be done. May post to the list on that one and see if anyone has any idea's.
So, my work list for Jan 2010 looks like.....
- Search for 928 S4/GTS Analogue Clock
- HVAC investigation
- Get down to JDS for a MAF check and ECU remap
- Swop air filter for new
- Exchange LED side light bulbs
- Polish front light lenses inside & out
- Fit LED strip light in lens upgrade for side lights
- Do upgrade of centre console lighting so shift gear lever panel ligts up as well as dash
- wire in permanat power lead to my Road Angel and trace it upo obeind the dash to the windscreen so its out of view & doesn't need to be plugged into the Cig lighter all time
- Fit my new EBC Green brake pads
- Spray Brake Callipers Red
- Finish removing old paint off intake manifold and spray silver
- Sort out centre console switches surround/base so my sunroof switch doesn't keep popping up
- disable my RDK sensor
- investigate why my rear speakers don't work ecept the 2 big bins - wiring issue I guess
- investigate why my drivers door speakers work intermittantly - affected by door being open sometimes
- investigate why my drivers door wiring - how it affects the elec windows operation when its fully open - only works in 6" open mode and nothing to do with door switch contact. Am guessing broken wiring.
Work needed to get done soon in 2010
- New Engine sump seal - to stop oil leak
- Change transmission oil and fit new oil sump seal / Filter
- Change Diff Oil
Should keep me good....
