Yeah, and the SOTU on Tuesday had the highest ratings EVER.

It took me ten seconds to figure out HOW to do it, without instructions. The rest of the time was wasted because someone made something simple difficult... just like a Republican.

Thanks for the tip, but I paid four bucks for the stock replacement. When it comes to license plate lights, I just want my car to be legal. An $18.50 license plate light is VERY Republican -- the military would probably pay $918.50 each for those license plate lights.

I find the LED replacement tag lights to be too bright. I turned mine in on an angle to cut down the bright-ness.

 

I tried led ones on mine. They flickered a lot. Are there certain ones that will not flicker?

Si. Always get CANBUS bulbs. Also note that if you get LED's in place of incandescent bulbs, unless you disable the bulb check via Carly or the like, your bulbs will flash X amount of times after you start your engine. I disabled all bulb check systems to get away from the flashing after start up.

 

Ah. Thanks! Never really knew about the whole canbus thing. I'll look into the carly thing. I read that you can disable the drl through there too?

Anyone have any info as to why Gen 2 HPFP's fail? Would upping the quality/flow by changing to Colins upstream pump aid in the longevety of the HPFP? Are the HPFP's burning out in some way that a better supply of fuel would help whatever is breaking down within the pump?

 

Looks like Carly doesn't list the R53 on there as an option.

They've gotta get the money to pay my retirement some way.

 

DRL?

 

Try a set of CANBUS bulbs, maybe it doesn't have the bulb check stuff.

 

Thanks. I'll try it out.

I went to a club (Queen City Coopers ) and we talked about an OHIO get together with the (Dayton club, the Columbus club (group) and a club in Toledo, if there is one. One idea was to have a poker run on a route easily marked so it would be 'fun'. Each club would meet up at a final common destination point and determine who the winners was. AND THEN, the winners would then determine the winner. Just an idea that could be fun over a week-end. The event would be open to anyone who wants to come. What do you think An Ohio poker run????

 

Hey, I'd rather see that money go to you than to some corporation charging $918.50 for a light bulb.

They're legal. It's the non CANBUS LED's that should be illegal.

 

My MINI is in the garage. My office is in my house, and I had no reason to go anywhere today. Just as well, the weather sucks.

I need to do some research on diverters/BOVs. That was an item a lot of Audi enthusiasts replaced, because the factory diverters were cheap, mostly plastic parts that leaked pressure. I have my suspicions about the one on my R56.

Nice!
