+ 1 Definitely need metric flare nut wrenches. You may find yourself bending the steel portion to make up the connection. And be VERY careful against cross threading the flare nuts.

Pod,
Thanks. Now I need a little warm weather to get to it.

Added eyelet leads for my CTEK battery charger. And worked on the Leatherique for the back seats. I guess if you leave the Prestine Clean too long, it gets gummy. So my next step is to re-do the Rejuvenator oil.

I need to access the rear speaker and hinge bolts. How do I remove the upper carpet panel that covers them and the shock towers?
Advice and pictures would help immensely

Soooo many shiny cars. Great to see spouses and children in the event.

+1 Fall oil change. Why leave janky oil in the engine? Besides, you'll have a lot more to do in the spring like wash and wax.

It is interesting how "cruise control" has evolved with integration of crash avoidance, lane departure, platooning and GPS. Adding primitive CC seems like a lot of work. I would imaging that CC would become a smart phone app. I've worked with a company that did event recording for trucks to capture ...

I found that the Lowe's blue bucket is slightly smaller than the HD orange bucket so that they nest nicely for storage and don't get jammed together. Consider it "color coding."

Bobbo,
You're always welcome back.

I suggest Dynamat for soundproofing. It's not lightweight are there are other similar products available.

Does the center button become the horn?

I am converting my T12 4' fluorescent lighting to LED. Costco has them for $39.99. The benefits are no flickering or dimming when we get to the chill of winter and they won't need new ballasts every few years. The new ones have 4000K color temperature, 4000 lumens and consume 52 watts. This compares...

I'm always late to post my updates, but this past weekend I did my engine and transmission fluid services!

What tranny fluid did you use?

I'm having trouble too!

The interior needed some work so I've started a Leatherique treatment to my Pearl Beige seats. I guess most of the crud that comes off with the rejuvenator is actually oxidized dye rather than sweat or soiling. As to the steering wheel, after the Leatherique, what is the best stuff to redo the black...

Stance appears to be non-stock. Do you know what changes were made?

Aren't you two neighbors? My left coast geography is a little weak.

Tommy,
Could you post some pics. I thought the rear shelf was always carpeted or leather wrapped?

How did you prep the brake discs and calipers to withstand the heat? And what paint did you use?
