Faint, good to hear. So I bet you're not selling anymore now huh?
Gerald, out of curiosity, where was the needle when the tank was truly empty? My fuel flap retaining clip fell out after I filled up, oddly enough. Anyone have a picture of where this clip is positioned? I'm assuming it goes in the catch-thingy (no better word for it, sorry...latch? The black part that catches and locks the flap), because I see a little slot where it fits into. My flap now doesn't open without it having to be pried.

... am working from home, because its been melting like crazy here for the past few days, and then overnight it all froze again with about 20-30cm of snow on top of it. Makes for a horrid commute.
I'm not going to risk it. -------------------- |

visited New Image Auto Center Inc in Kissimmee and they pulled out my back seat and passenger seat to be recovered WOOT! freshly upholsterd seats will be installed next monday just in time for the Fl meet the following Sun. I went with dark charcoal vinyl outer and med charcoal preforated inserts my interior is gonna start showing some sexiness!
UPDATE: after talking to the guy doing the work I'm now getting the Celica Dragon embroidered into the front seats just have to decide what color, i'm thinking low key having it the same dark charcoal as the outer parts of the seat This post has been edited by b22ri22an: Feb 7, 2011 - 11:10 PM -------------------- |

Replaced a thermostat and gasket, first time removing components in the engine bay so it was very exciting. Reset the ECU while I was at it and now my idle is much smoother.

Gerald, out of curiosity, where was the needle when the tank was truly empty? the needle was pointed in the middle of the letter E on the fuel gauge. i posted this same question in a thread a while back and i remember some guy posting that his needle went all the way below the letter E. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Not filling your tank all the way and just doing "$5.00 fill ups" etc. can cause your gauge to read improperly. I bet the person who said that does 5 dollar fill ups all the time. Do you run your tank almost empty then fill it full every time? That's what it sounds like. That's the most ideal way to do it, after all the gas gauge should be accurate..haha. -------------------- 2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 1

I run it till it's almost dry and fill it all the way up, but my E light comes on way, way too early. We have a 15.9 gallon tank and if I fill her up right when the E light comes on, she'll only take about 12.3 gallons. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
