I can say that I saw Oxygen working on fixing the ABC pump in his own driveway with a jack and a simple 50pc toolset..

Is TT motorsport hooking you up or paying you to have their logo on your car? or are you doing that for your own sake?

good to hear your car is fixed!

but on previous note, i was serious about my question on the TT MS decal.....it really reminds me of the decal on the new honda civic SI, which in hand doesnt flow too well on your beautiful car. so im really hoping that decal is there for gratuity issues to TT ms

Trust me when I tell you-- it's nothing that anyone would want to get into, ABC is no joke. The whole system is running at 3000psi (200 bar) CONSTANTLY from the moment the engine is started, so everything must be very tight, very clean, very much to strict specifications. The knowledge and expertise of the people at TT Motorsports was exactly what we needed to get this job done correctly.

I will be posting a "DIY" on how to change the pump and lines in your driveway with jack stands and a simple 50pc tool kit from Pep Boys.

3000 p.s.i is standard hydraulic pressure in aircraft systems and other systems. ( 206.8 bar B.T.W. )
The pump produces very low G.P.M so it's not that bad to deal with, but you should have some knowledge of basic Pneudraulics otherwise you may get intimidated.

Glad to hear you are back on the road again O2. It's been an interesting years with your car so far. First the vandalism, and now this. Hopefully you can drive and enjoy it the rest of the year issue free.

I always follow his posts so I know what I'm in for when I get a W220 S600 LOL. I would do the same... have it lowered on 19s.
