I haven't seen that filter in my CSI line. (80 FI) Where was it located along the line?

Great looking hose work. Is there any particular place you got the silicone hose?? I am gonna change my small filter under the car and all of my fuel line hoses are aging. Thanks for any response.

I also bought this kit from AR. The toughest fit was getting the hose over the lower crankcase breather. Lucky, I had the fuel manifold pulled...made the job much easier.

Finally, its road worthy

The old Goodyears were older then the guy at the tire shop Sent out the rims for powder coating. Ordered the Achilles Platinum (185/70R13) on-line. I had the alignment completed this morning (it was way off).

I think I'll slow down on the fix-it list and enjoy the ride for awhile

[SLOSpider]

Nice! Im right behind you...I hope BTW How much was the powder coating?

Finished re-doing my trunk boards (see my post in Cosmetics). I have the spare, boards and original carpet squared away.

From this:


To this:


I used steel wool to remove the old finish. Then all Rustoleum products, grey primer, metallic silver, and clear coat. I found out the hard way that if you omit the primer, the metallic silver will sort of dimple, leaving a terrible finish. Acetone to remove.

I did the same thing as yours and yours looks great! I also rubbed a little red paint in to the "ferrero" recess and then wiped the excess off with paint thinner and it looks really nice. A subtle but nice detail.

[wizard124]

great idea. will it work over clear coat?
Im afraid i may make a mess of it

They look to be quality tires. Do you know where are they made?

[RRoller123]

Not entirely sure about the red over clearcoat, but I would expect that the overage would easily wipe off of it.

I really like them. balanced easily. absolutely no shimmy or vibration at freeway speeds. good stick in the curves.

I noticed previously that the 2 wire leads to the head sensors had cracked and brittle insulation. I wrapped them with electrical tape as an interim fix. This morning, I rummaged around my garage to find the butt connectors, wire, spade connectors, liquid tape, and heat shrink to do a proper repair. I used the liquid tape to seal the connector ends before I enclosed the butt connectors in heat shrink tubing.



The sensor's caps are also brittle and cracked during their removal. I plugged the ends with polyester fiber and applied liquid tape to seep in and seal.

[vandor]

Do you know that those rubber sensor caps are available new?

Well, now I do.
This was a spontaneous repair, or I may have found and ordered them.
