The RS America is READY to go back to Europe, put the new Wheels and Tires on today. Here’s a list of what I’ve been doing to her to get her ready again.
Rebuilt Front suspension New Battery Fresh Brake Pads, sensors, system flushed and filled with Super Blue. Rockers pulled and cleaned, seals replaced Drivers Seat Recovered A/C and heat checked New Door Seals New Radio Touched up Paint Replaced Engine Air Duct Pulled Axles, cleaned/packed CV’s, replaced Boots Replaced Distributor, Distributor Caps & Rotors New Fuel Filter Complete Engine Tune Up, new Plugs, Set Valves New O2 Sensor Changed Oil and Filter. Magnets Clean Changed Oil Transmission, Magnets Clean Replaced Front/Rear Wheels Tires Scrubbed/Detailed Top to Bottom Clayed and Waxed She is running so sweet. I think she’s in even better shape than when I shipped her to Europe last time. I really want a trip like last time, she was faultless, she only had 2 minor problems, a shorted Alarm wire in Wales and I replaced the Idle Speed Valve in Paris. NO Breakdowns, amazing for a 1 ½ year Tour. Every thing is all set up. I’ll be shipping her in about 2 weeks. I’ve got a San Diego to London direct flight at the end of May to pick her up in Felixstowe. Started making reservations, how about 9 days at the Ring, woo hoo. I am so ready to do this again.
