Once again, many thanks to those who replied with their wisdom, I really appreciated the many good suggestions, tips, and the encouragement to go a different route than I originally intended. Irrrational Exuberance is currently in the final stages of getting rebuilt. At the very least, I intend to keep her as a summer car. In the meantime, several additional issues were addressed... for one, thby Constantin - Main Forum
What a classic story - hope we can preserve it in the museum - if there is one here.by Constantin - Main Forum
The car is at the shop, I left her with the filter there for inspection. I hear more news on Monday.

If anything else, if I can keep her running for several more months as her replacement is being built, a more nominal investment into her makes sense. Otherwise, I'll hby Constantin - Main Forum
Well, we've had a pretty good run. Almost 48k miles of permagrin, plenty of good memories on two continents. Just ordered a new set of snow tires, had a new battery put in, etc. but now I fear our days together are numbered. The check engine light came on two days ago, steady orange, dealer let me come in today to have that looked at, along with the annual service. Apparently, the CEL was promptby Constantin - Main Forum
