[T3] Invasion prep

[Max Welton]

Hi all.

The list has been pretty quiet lately. Is this thing on? ;-)

Here's where I'm at with prep.

I dropped my engine yesterday to deal with an oil leak up by the oil pump
and do some general checking things out.

One thing about the CSP exhaust is that the process of dumping the engine
is more of a process. First I remove the bumper, then the support brackets
for the muffler which tie into the bumper brackets. Then disconnect the
heat shield above the muffler and finally the muffler itself can come down.
After that it's pretty much the same as stock. Discovered a tear in the
dipstick tube. Air bellows still good.

The list going forward:

* Adjust the rear ride height as it's just a little low as is. I've already
bumped the extended sump on one of those concrete parking logs. That's no
bueno.

* Find and fix a rattle in the left door.

* Rig up a circuit for USB power for phone and tablet charging.

* Rig up a bluetooth speaker to sit in on the rear seat. Or hang from the
front seat-back. Tablet to supply tunes over bluetooth. Rig something to
keep the speaker charged while driving.

* Figure out why my horn ckt drains the battery overnight.

Probably other stuff I can't think of right now.

Everybody else ready to go mobile?

Max
