Wow, that was quick. Is it close to the color you were hoping for?

It is. I might talk to my paint guy about maybe a slight tinted clear over the orange for a slightly darker finish but it wont take much. It looks great, thanks again. :tup: :driving:

Love the orange stitching on the leather. Subtle.

I wasn’t allowed to say anything until today, but it's now okay for me to share that I have volunteered for the Covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer. The vaccine is the one that has been developed in Russia. It is in 6 different stages and I received my first dose this morning at 06:20 am, and I wanted to let you all know that it is safe and I’m ok, with o side effects whatsoeve, and that I feelshκι , . .

You can easily remove the handle for clear coating. The button is loctited on but can be unscrewed. Then just unscrew the orange end cap, slide the carbon fiber sleeve off. That will expose 4 set screws that hold the handle on. You'll have to remove the boot first.

17f out and snowing sideways currently. Looks like tackling the cai's will be put on hold for a little. Took the corolla to Wally world for a fast oil change. Not gonna lie, they do a decent job for $30. Way better than valvoline or having to schedule with a local place.

Yeah, theres a guy that is doing a blog about living there. The inside is the same as outside...all concrete. The apartments are suppose to be nice though, just the hallways, foyer, outside all looks like you need to keep an eye out for a guy namd Paco the shank.

While in the process of dropping the trans, I believe I found my never-to-be-sufficiently-damned rattle.

"Lost" the damn thing when I was replacing the hoses two years ago; put a new clamp on instead.

I have no idea how I'm going to deal with it, without draining the coolant and pulling the hose. Or pulling the header. There is precisely zero room to hold the clamp and put it on the end of the hose.

Probably safer to just pull the motor and get the FI TT kit while I'm at it

Hey madwi. Your shift knob display case. Is that just a generic watch display case with deep pockets?

Slide down the other clamp & put that one behind it :tup:

jchammond 12-05-2020 06:10 PM

Or use a long neck die grinder or cutoff wheel....with something wedged behind it of course :ugh2:
