Curious: what hole did you need to drill? I'm waiting for unicorn fluid myself, but I understood there to be a drain plug already in the transaxle?
What'd I miss?

horn frame adjustment
I adjusted my horn framework again. Spent at least 2 hours working on getting less sensitive.

Fill plug is no problem but without drilling a hole, you have to remove the metal plate completely to get to the drain plug. Its just a time saving thing. Removing the plate isn't that big a deal and gear oil is a 90K mile maintenance item. If you plan to keep your car a long long time, drill the hole!

Very nice!!
I pulled my lug nuts a few weeks back....sanded and painted. I just did two from each wheel at a time knocked it out over a day or two without pulling any wheels off.
Looks much better.

I had a set of Audi lugs laying around so I was able to pull all of them and take them for sand blasting. $70 later, good or better than new! Thanks to Ernie for the locking bolts.

Have you any measurements you could share for the hole center? I've mine off at the moment so it might make sense to pop the hole even though I only change the oil 5000km ago.
