what's the ID and max power levels of the common MAFS s13, s14, N60, N62, Q45 (P60?)? throw in more if you know them.

just use your tow hooks in the front to jack it up. Their high strength steel and sit higher than the frame rails.

best bet is to just invest in a good low-profile jack. Well worth the money compared to screwing around with extra steps like ramps, etc.

It's not the switch as I've tried 3. To my knowledge I haven't messed with the wiring concerning the wipers.

Any ideas where I should be checking first to fix this small, but irritating issue.
I have the same issue too but havent been able to pinpoint it. i'm guessing it might be a relay or somethin?? i dunno

btw thanks to those who replied to my question..i guess its not a big difference which one you choose then huh? i don't wanna be super quiet but i also don't wanna be loud as hell like a harley lol

Hello gentlemen.

i am in the process of doing a bunch of bodywork to my car at the moment, its a long process but i have to leave my car outside. Its also going to be a few months before it gets painted. So here is my question, what paint can i get (in a can) that will protect my car from rust? I need something that will not chemically react with the actual paint that will be applied later. I understand that primer is not a good idea as it is porous and therefore it absorbs moisture, is this true?

Thanks! all info is greatly appreciated!

which rustoleum products?

it appears they have epoxy, lacquer acrylic, enamel, water based paints...

they also offer an automotive primer, would this protect against moisture?

A few years ago when I took off the factory spoiler and filled the holes I sanded the trunk to bare metal and spraypainted it with Rust-Oleum. My roof is also painted with it. Just this regular kind:
http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=24

It's just one coat, with no clear or anything, and it's been through rain and snow pleny of times since, with no problems. I use it on everything, because I have rust-phobia when it comes to my car.
They also have a 'Professional' 'High Performance' line, with most of the colors:
http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=95

Recently I found out that the nearby Lowe's carries all of the colors, so I have switched to using the 'High Performance' enamel, which I'm assuming should be even better, although I don't have any complaints about the regular one. I even used it to cover the rust on my rocker panel years ago, and it still hasn't shown through, haha.

Hello,

I may also be in the process of doing a bunch of bodywork to my possible future car. Is there a proper method, per say, to remove molded aero? Sand down the filler material until the aero is exposed => Source the method used to secure the aero => Remove?

-Yuta

P.S. Yuta, thank you for asking a question I was wondering about a few hours ago.

the CAS on the bellhousing is only used for onboard diagnosis of misfire, not to directly control the engine system

you can remove it and i don't believe sohc makes any difference

i don't think it will be a problem at all

but i would recommend putting real automotive primer on before a base coat anyways

the primer in a can should protect fine but i the enamel will be better over time

I'm not sure if i understand correctly but i would sand it down to where it the aero meets the body and dremel the remaining filler until its weak and pop it off

any attachment (securing method) you should be able to see from under the car

check this archive faq

just remember the pressure raises as boost pressure in the intake manifold raises

is there a way to keep the inner fender guards, while rolling the fender and lowering the car?

i would not really want to remove it, because all the dirt and shit will fly inside my fender/door/engine bay

btw: great thread!

if you roll the fender, the plastic won't be able to clip into the factory holes.

also, if you lower the car until it rubs the plastic guards, there will be absolutely no need to roll your fenders because it won't be very low at all.

I understand that primer is not a good idea as it is porous and therefore it absorbs moisture, is this true?

Thanks! all info is greatly appreciated!
to protect from rust
if your going with a can of primer
*epoxy primer
or
*self etch primer

if you have rust already
sand it off

its best to spray with the gun you will save money.

POR-15 POR15, Inc. - Stop Rust Permanently - Repair Gas & Fuel Tanks
good stuff

if your to bare metal try to use gloves metal and human oil will cause rust.

oh stay away from those rust convertors..

im trying to figure out how he did that.


you got to stretch the metal with body hammers use the fender roller and body filler to smooth it out

some durablocks with different shapes will get it like that
