Figured I'd share my progress report for my winter projects!

I looked into my fuel injectors and according the AM part numbers I'm seeing, the 4.3L and 4.7L have the same injectors. Based on that, I'm guessing the fuel system on my 4.3L has plenty of capacity to be tuned without worrying about taxing anything.

I've got an appointment next week to get a couple fuel-related issues fixed. Pretty sure I have a bad fuel vapor recirc hose in my gas tank, and my fuel gauge isn't working. Those problems will be fixed next week, then I'll be getting the car tuned!

My spark plugs are good for another year or two so I'll save them for next winter. Still need to do my thermostat, maybe Sunday?

I've got new door/trunk struts on the way, I'll pick them up when I get my car back from the fuel system fixes.

Big things accomplished were new wheels, tires, and 2-piece rotors



And the pics from the photoshoot we did:

Picked up these black wheel centers.... We're still getting snow in the North East. Once spring hits and there's no more salt on the roads, I'll take her out to have these installed.

doc18015 is infamous around these parts
mods and left over parts

Hi , I am new to the board and Astons. I am reading of many glass switch replacement(s).
I need a switch(recline), stock for my passenger seat (2000 Vantage)


Anyone have one they want to have a new home for?


Any DYI info is also great. Is there a thread specific to DYI ?


Thanks.

Shenanigans are underway! Everyone goes with clear so how's about we try the opposite?

(They aren't this dark in person - it's the camera, and they still work perfectly fine.)



For reference, mine are a little less dark than these:
