They wanted to do tranny and rear differential for $59 each. I said no.
Unless you have tip the diff and transmission fluid are shared fluid, it is a transaxle. If you have a tip I think.you have to take quite a bit off to change the diff oil. Major bullet dodged and $$$ saved

That's a red flag right there. If you had said yes, they probably would have discovered they couldn't do anything for you. (Or charged you and done nothing)

Yea I'm sitting there thinking the tranny is the differential...
I changed the carbon canister and blew out the line the goes back to the manifold. I was getting codes P0446, P1124 and P1126. This seemed to work. If the code comes back I guess i'll have to get a new valve for $200. The canister was pretty clogged. I could barely blow through it. So I put one Woody sold me.
Today I also took off my front bumper cover as well. I did it to remove all the debris and dirt that was in the radiators. It doesn't show it that much in the pictures, but when I pulled the A/C condenser away from the radiator, about a pound and half of old leaves, dead bugs, and other junk fell out. I'm doing a track day in a few weeks, and it can't hurt to have the maximum airflow for cooling.
While I had the front bumper off, I also re-routed the emergency frunk release cable so it can now be reached through the front grille opening.
Yesterday I got new tires mounted! BFGoodrich Sport Comp 2's stock size in the rear, 225/45's in the front.

How tough was removing front to clean radiators? I need to do this.

It's pretty easy. The other poster suggested watching the you-tube video, which I didn't do. Watching it probably would have saved me some time, as I had to figure which screws needed to come out. If I ever do it again a second time, I'm guessing that it would take about ten minutes to do.
Be careful about what size mesh you put in the grill if you decide to do that. Anything under 1/4" mesh will really restrict airflow at highway speeds.

It's a just a lot of screws. Pretty easy. There's a YouTube video on it. Install some mesh grills while you have the bumper off, and you won't have to do it again for a long while.
Todays I removed the super fugly warning labels from my sun visors.
Two and a half years ago when I bought the car I covered them up with some black vinyl covering stickers I got on ebay. The stickers worked great. But over the weekend I noticed that the stickers on the mirror covers had started to bubble (not the stickers fault - bad prep on my part).
I decided to finally remove the labels rather than cover them. So I removed the covering stickers, then used 91% rubbing alcohol, a bag, etc . to remove the labels. When I had the labels and all traces of the adhesive removed (the adhesive took a while), I gave them two light coats of Dupli-color Fabric and Vinyl paint. They now look brand new.

I drove a 400 mile round trip for dinner with my daughter and my grandson's opening game (T-ball). A nice twisty drive on the way up, then mostly highway back home at night. I was surprised how much attention the car got going through the small towns in rural Missouri. I'm still not sure of the rules for T-ball, but I think if you can keep most of the kids facing in the right direction, it's considered a win.

This, right here, is the primary reason why I now own a 986. In fact, I believe a law exists that requires all grandparents to own a cool car for the wonder and enjoyment of their grandkids.
