Nothing big here.  Just pulled the IAT sensor and MAP sensors to clean with CRC electronic cleaner.  Mostly wanted to see if there was any oil residue on the IAT sensor from the newly installed K&N.  Been in for about 200 miles.  This is like the 15th car dating back to the late 80's that I have used a drop in K&N on without issue.  I swear that the issues that you hear about must come from people that just way over oil the things.  Knock on wood, I have never had a MAF sensor or any other sensor in the intake tract fail on any car.  Maybe I'm just really lucky.

Nothing serious that makes it unsafe to drive, need to get in to a shop for an alignment once I figure out how to get the ride height to be what I want in the rear. I am new to coilovers so I feel I am poking around in the dark even with all the info out there.

Thanks, watched a video on corner balancing that while beyond what I am doing now these were both helpful. Managed to get the rough ride height adjusted to almost perfect but I am still trying to understand how to control the feedback from the rear. I would like to avoid cutting the bumpstops so I am hoping messing with dampening will help.

Hi should of posted and looked sooner but winter is coming up still need to install the battery changer transmission heater, oil pan heater and thinking of Installing a coolant circulator.
I had bought the car with a engine block heater already.
Curious anyone done this themselves how they run the wires?
what did you use?
Most of all where are you storing your plug.
I wanted to try getting a fusion fog light or MTz fog light bezel that also has the plastic cover and plug built in but haven't gotten around to actually ordering and seeing if they would fit with minimal fabrication. After a few weeks of comments I'll order them if now one has tried it.

I never found it necessary to install any of the items you've listed.

And during the course of several winter seasons with my SHO motoring around here in CHI-Town and NW Indiana & Michigan, where actual temps have been below zero..... never had any problems.

IMHO I'd invest your money in other mods, before any of these.

well, being that he is above the arctic circle would merit many of these items.
sorry OP, can't help you as I have only lived in Phoenix and OKC

How low do the temperatures get?  You can up the ethylene antifreeze % slightly to a 60-40 ratio to protect to -60F or so.  Max is 70-30, but that's not recommended even for Alaska, it seems.  This is an article for boats, but same principles:

Antifreeze tables for ethylene glycol based products:

Comparison of ethylene and propylene glycol products:

If you switch out to a propylene glycol based coolant/antifreeze like this Amsoil product, it will protect even up to 100% coolant:

PEAK also has a product called SIERRA:
