    Does anyone have an Oil Reset Tool? Or any experience tracking down ABS problems? I'm getting a light when I hit bumps. Checked all my wiring and nothing is obviously loose. My next thought is to clean my rings and start replacing sensors. I suspect my slightly soft pedal might be ABS related too. I've bled the hell out of the system and actuated the pump multiple times on gravel roads to bleed any air out...
    not sure about ABS but you can jump 2 terminals on your diagnostic port w/ a paper clip and reset your oil light. Do a quick search on "reset oil light" in the DIY forums, you should find the answer pretty quickly.

                      No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

                        Sorry for the absolutely horendous picture. I am trying to decide whether or not to sell the BBS valence I picked up. I am torn because I don't know if I will run BBS wheels or other body parts. Is it sac relige to run BBS and other brand body parts? I don't know how it will look.

                          If you can get it to fit then please run it. It is awesome.

                            I spent some time with the OZ wheels to figure out what I am dealing with. I originally thought they clear coated. Here is what I started with.




                            As you can see they are fully dull and have water spots and brake dust deposits. So I started with clay bar and cleaner wax to see if I could get the water spots out. Soon enough I found out the wheels were NOT clear coated at all so I went and got my aluminum polish.

                            This is my "test" to make sure they weren't clear coated. I only did a very light polish on the center spokes. Sure enough the spots started to come out.



                            So I spent about 30 more minutes giving the entire wheel a polish. It sucks trying to get around the bolts by hand. I am going to have to go out and buy a polisher of some sort. I will probably try the mothers powerball first just because it is cheap and used for polishing wheels :)

                            Final product for the day.




                            This was all done in my kitchen with poor lighting. They are shining really well even just by a short hand polish. I will get some daylight pictures once I buy an automated polisher of some sort.

                                I'm not a fan of the wheels, but you've done great work. Maybe I'll like them when you mount them on the car. Hurry up.
