Certainly not long hood work, but I replaced the PCM / Stereo in my '06 Coupe, as mine had really bad display problems. Purchased from a PCA member, and it appears to work perfectly. Other than a message stating an error with phone, GPS... anyone know how to clear something like that? My car doesn't have a phone or GPS or CD changer, and it appears this unit is looking for these items. Not a big deal, but figure someone here might know.
Thanks,
Scott

After switching out my front to back tires on 3/12 in anticipation of a 3/30 track day that was cancelled… and after taking nice a mountain drive on 3/28 that involved driving on some freshly cleared snowy roads… A couple of days ago it’s was time to wash the drive off and take time to pull off all 4 corners and have a look, and clean while I’m in there….. I do this about twice a year, depending on the amount of hard drives and track days…
Considering how hard I drive my 47 year old car I try to generally smoke over the bottom and inside corners of the car: Brakes, wheel bearings, loose bolts, and (heaven forbid) any cracks at or near suspension points….
In 31 years I’ve had one A arm sway bar drop link connecting ‘U’ mount tear off, and one rear sway bar round mounting pin pull out of its bushing ….
Oh, in 1998 I had a flywheel seal and accelerator linkage coupler fail on the same day at the track, and had to be towed home…
I’d say the old ‘German over engineering’ has worked pretty well for me so far….
- Took the pic just before I set my jack stands…..
- Go'n home from my DNF 22 years ago….
Cheers,
