BTW after replacing the main stat mpg's raised almost 10% (7.7liters/100km to 7.2 liters/100km within a hour of driving)
Assume the stat = main thermostat?

That's a pretty sweet side effect

Received and installed Performance spoiler. Subtle, but definitely freshens up the rear.

What guide did you use for that? The one on the site that I found had seriously blurry pics. I guess it's pretty straight forward, but I figured I would just ask.

I used a Dremel tool with the sandpaper barrel to clean the glue and filter residue.

Washed and dried her so I could get a better look at how much hail damage she has.

There are a bunch. The good news most are small, so I hope they can be removed with dry ice or other paint less methods.

Just disappointing that after just a month she's in for body work!

Got this @#$%& pen out... It has been the bane of my existence and I'm glad I finally fished it out, since it's a major pain in the ass when cleaning, fishing for something that fell under, or having a shorter friend drive and the seat can't move all the way forward or backward. Since it was so well hidden, myself and 2 shops couldn't figure it out until just now! As you can see with the wrench, I was THIS close to taking out the entire seat!

Oh, and since my last rear fog mod fell apart (which was jury rigged using a bundle of toothpicks held together by a rubber band and a portion of an old credit card) and didn't engage when I wanted it to at times, I started over, this time using an empty lens cleaner solution bottle (new bottle also shown), plus the cap of a water bottle and superglued it all.

Let her live to see another day.....

6 car accident RIGHT in front of me on the interstate. I would have been car #7 if it wasnt for how amazing these brakes are and THANKFULLY the cars behind me swerved to avoid rear ending me. Pretty shaken up.

Was it due to congestion? Or was there something in the road?

Too much excitement for a Monday if you ask me.

Brakes

All new rotors, pads and sensors over the weekend. Too much break dust with stock setup. Even through the fronts were pretty new, I changed those as well. Took hours to clean the calipers etc, probably never done before.
