Repair to the 1 Inch hose under the throttle cover which is on that stack of vacuum ports most of which are capped, this thing flies now! Omg.

They're supposed to be capped, I think there's only one that's actually used. I bet your idle is smoother now with the idle air valve hose repaired!

The P80 seat worked its usual magic

Met some really interesting astrophysics people

Picked up some rear floor mats and a driver's seat switch at the 'yard today. I can finally move my seat forward! And the memory settings work!
Probably gonna need to go back tomorrow for a blower motor resistor for my Saab and to grab a taillight for somebody's 960.

Replaced the upper radiator hose with a silicone hose and some new ABA clamps. Interestingly enough my temps went down one tick on the instrument cluster. The old hose was most definitely in need of replacement and had some minor to serious swelling.

The next warm day I may conquer the lower hose and turbo/heater hoses.

I definitely recommend getting to the other hoses as soon as you can if they're getting soft or swelling. My cousin and I made the mistake of changing his expansion tank hoses and radiator hoses to silicone without changing his heater hoses, which were already pretty soft. Heater hose blew out two days later.
Then his radiator went a couple weeks later. Fresh fill of $40 Volvo blue coolant too...

That's the plan once the weather is a bit more manageable.

Yeah, not the most fun in the cold! I’m enjoying these 60-70 degree sunny days here in NC!

I did a wheel off ABS sensor in the driveway Saturday..about 25-30F but dry and sunny.

Good 7 mil gloves and work gloves are key

Fixed my headlight wipers with ProParts - some issues with fitting.
Gathered up all my spares and pinged Dirk

Nice! Did you have to access the wiper motor? I bought ProParts replacement arms when they started to fall apart but never managed to get the old ones off.
