Since it had been cold out the engine miss has gone away. over the winter I am going to change the coil, intake air temp sensor, and the coolant temp sensor. hopefully the issue wont come back when it starts getting warm in the spring.
I had discovered in my last two oil changes that this is my first car that doesnt burn oil
no difference on the dipstick between oil changes. its kinda weird lol and have been consistently getting 40mpg on every tank without even trying hard to putt putt the car
been tinkering with little things here and there no major updates. i have a small one that i had been thinking on since i got the car and finally decided how to do it. the removable handle for my small aluminum harbor freight jack has always been a pain in my ass in the trunk of my cars. first the blue car now this car. yeah it comes apart in the middle but then I have two handles to keep from rolling/rattling around in the trunk lol
so here is the handle and the upper strut bar that came with the car when i bought it
I used got a couple pieces of steel ruling from work and used the cutting die repair bender/notcher/cutter to whip these guys up. the clamps are not exactly the same its very hard to work with our 1971 equipment lol
a little welding, drilling, and bolting later
then i just bolted it back in the car
My mind keeps going down the "want more power" road. i was so happy when i first got the car like aw damn this is so nice to have a nice car ill be happy with a stock B7 forever i dont need more power... now i keep arguing with myself about keeping it stock or getting some more power down. but there are so many options... minime setup, z6 swap, a few bolt ons, a B swap like b16a or GSR... the list goes on. i cant make up my mind i love the stock car but sometimes i just want more
