By the way, Bob do you or Steve have any idea what kind of resonator this is?

[Ben Carufel]

I say use a yellow/orange LED, or pick up a used motorcycle cluster and get the small lamp out of it.

I'm thinking I'll go with a red LED like the one that's installed for the turn signal notification. I'll just slap a CHECK ENGINE label under it from a P-label printer.

It's worth getting RSs refinished professionally. Polishing them is a thankless task.

Yes, and my wheel refinisher guy has developed a clear powdercoat that only reduces the mirror gloss of the lips by 5% or so, in my estimation. This means no periodic polishing of the lips -- just wash 'em and go.

Please give us up to the minute updates on expenses for the wheel bolts, polishing, fuel for said truck, value of worn tires from driving to and from refinishing location, etc.

We must know how much money you're spending to feel validated for reading this thread! ;)

I'll update with more details when Operation Redeaux BBS commences.

Sure, I can tell you how it'll go:

- I'll take the RS003s off.
- I'll put them in the back of my truck and drive to the wheel refinisher.
- I'll drop them off.
- Two weeks will pass.
- I'll drive to the wheel refinisher in my truck.
- I'll pay for the wheel refinishing.
- I'll load the RS003s into my truck.
- I'll take them home.
- I'll mount them on the car.
- I'll drive.

Let me know if you need any more detail :).

Excellent information. I now know what I'm in for when it comes time to refinish mine :).

Two weeks? I think you're being a bit optimistic.

FredK, thanks for the info. Would you happen to have a wiring diagram? I'm hoping the ref will be okay with a little LED in the dash that's labeled as a check engine light.

Good idea on the LED. To keep the continuity with the green turn signal lamp, go to radio shack to pick up another. They offer them in green, yellow, and red. I you cant find them let me know, I think I have some. I'll send you a couple.

how much fuel will you be running in the truck that will deliver the said wheels to the refinisher?

lol

Don't put an aftermarket header in there, the referee won't like that!!

True, true.

[Ben Carufel]

ahh the uuc flywheel bolts.. :)

Yeah, I've heard from several people that this isn't the first time this has happened.

[Ben Carufel]

Make sure to document your bbs rs 003 rebuilt, because I just bought the same wheels!
