I might do the capacitor replacement preemptively.

with how fragile my fuse/relay holder plastic is, it would also be great if someone knows the capacitors I'd need so I can minimize the risks.

another thing I noticed today is that my ECT has no harness. Does anyone know what the connection type is called? I have a new ECT but I'll need to replace the male(?) connector on the engine harness when I do that.

Here is my order from digikey, I tried to shop around to get a good deal and not have to pay for parts I'm not going to use. The first item is a diode for the ECU to disable the SAS warning light.

Does anyone happen to know what the thread size and pitch are for the SAS valve attachment point? There's a double ended male adapter that sits in the downpipe, it'd like to know so I can have some options on hand to plug the hole after I remove my SAS valve.

Well what a coincidence!!!

349 miles driven today and the average fuel consumption was 34.9mpg.

Does that mean if I drive 600 miles my average will be 60mpg? :shock:

Put a horrible 1.9 miles on the Kat driving to the train station. Should have walked.

Went to see Brooklyn Caitlin

On the topic of mileage, what should I be expecting from an A/T T-5? Is the computer accurate? (Also what app is that?)

In rush hour traffic I get about 30-35L/100km (at an average speed of around 5-7km/h)
Regular city traffic (probably on par with rush hour everyhere else) I get about 20-25L/100km

When my brother took it out for 80km mixed it was about 11L/100km

Dear Diary! What a great day! I finally had a reason to drive through Germany with my R. What a scary blast it is to drive a p80 at over 140 miles per hour.
