michael: the coolant light is on, any CEL? How is the car driving?
After you had that coolant issue on the SB run a few months back, did you add more water / coolant?

Could it be it's just low? anything leaking anywhere?

Deatails man, DETAILS! What time is your appointment Monday? you realize it's only 2 miles from my office, right...???

the dealer flushed the coolant and replaced it so the level is good i think. when
i look at the bottle the level is normal. i made my appointment at 7am. but they are going to have to wait til it warms up some to get the light to pop on. plus they are going to have to run it quick and fast

wouldn't your car be hot already by the time you got to Tustin? If the light is on, ask to either drive with the Service Advisor in the car or vise versa

when you exit the Tustin AutoCenter, head east on El Camino, turn right @ Jamboree: MASH accelerator.

I was at neptune this morning to check out the installation. The time it takes to install the kit is longer than i expected becuase its just too difficalt to put the turbo in that small place. Hopefully it can be finished by tomorow.
Jedi, do you know if yoshiya will let me work on my car at his shop tomorrow?

psycho: not sure if Yoshiya will let you work on it IN his ship (insurance liabilities) but when I saw it last night, they had the bumper off, it was on the lift, and he was working on it. He menitoned that some part didn't fit? I was in a hurry so I didn't get the full scoop.

you saw ME!

So I was getting bagels this morning down at the Fremont hub in an attempt to find some appetizing food in my current sick state. As I was getting into my car to go home, A guy cruised past me in the parking lot and waved wildly. He wasn't driving an 8, and I was too doped up on cough meds to remember what he was driving. Was that one of you guys who waved at me in my VR? I waved back even though I couldn't figure out who it was.
