Like a kid in a candy store I bought a bunch of little stuff from autohausaz the other day and they arrived a short time agao. Side note: their pricing is tits, I don't remember who on here suggested them but thank you.

Anyway, one of the things I ordered were new hood struts so I figured I'd throw em on at lunch, sweetness ensued. I was unaware that when you pull the hood latch the hood is supposed to jump up and forward, for some reason I thought that was the coolest thing ever. That and I won't have to wedge the hood open anymore with a large rubber mallet.:buttrock

So this weekend I will be replacing my thermostat housing, thermostat, belts, and the valve cover gasket. Sadly my lower control arms and spark plugs wont be here until Monday...and I am right back on the road Wednesday. Anyone in the Bryan/College Station area feel like they want to help?

While I was throwing on the hood struts, since I was there, and having read the instructions that another forum member shot my way on replacing the valve cover gasket, I thought what the hell, I'll just start taking shit off. Seems like replacing it is a safe bet:

I use "tits" sometimes when I get impressed or am excited by something. Their pricing impressed me, so it's "tits".:D

No I totally understand, I'm just an asshole.

I use autohausaz for my odds and ends. Love them.

I have a box from AZ today. It is patiently waiting on my front step for my arrival. Mine has new pullies, tensioner, fuel filter and a wheel bearing nut. I also have a box from bimmerparts with some 02 sensors. It's all for the M3 though. Joy!

You sir are awesome, I just ordered 2 hood struts from Autohausaz, that idea was tits.

I used to use that word a lot as well, now it needs to be brought back!

Thanks again, I'm excited to have my hood actually lurch forward instead of just click, :rofl

No kidding...my wife got home and I was covered in dirt and grime (see coolant thread) and I said "honey, honey, you gotta see this...get in there and pull the hood latch and watch what happens."

Apparently I am easily impressed. :)

Hahaha, you and me both then. I ran and got my dad when the glass hatch started opening again randomly, just so I could show him. (now THOSE struts can be replaced) Oh and also when I learned about being able to close the windows and sunroof with just the key in the lock cylinder. :buttrock

I'm thrilled that they had them so cheap. I payed $36 something for 2 of em, where Bavauto wanted nearly that for ONE, not counting shipping!
