Morning, all. Any insight into my smelly A/C predicament?

Today, I used the California Duster to get it back to shiny. Live on a dusty road that blows dust on things over night :/ Oh, and pollen.

Run the air with the A/c off for a couple minutes before you turn of your car, this should help with the smell

wow, that's nice! :tup: yah, i was eyeing the wera's green/black set which is the non-electrical one. but then again, my driver set is still okay so... :icon17: maybe for pop's day i will ask for the set. :p

how is the metal on the wera screw drivers? is it super strong or equivalent to about a professional line craftsman?

weha also makes nice drivers. their metals are super strong.

I got my first ticket speeding ticket in maybe 10 years :( I speed sometimes but do it smartly and in intervals, usually.

I was driving back from Ottawa (1.5 hrs away form Montreal) and was flying, 130km :driving:...it was pitch black...cop was nice, marked it down to 120 and $98 instead of $260 :tiphat:

However the trip was not in vain...I picked up a pair of Motordyne ART pipes in mint condition with only 1000km on them :happydance:

TheGreatOne: What was the speed limit? I go 80 mph (130 kph) on a 65 mph (104 kph) interstate road here in Upstate, NY, and the troopers don't bother you. 80/130 is probably near the edge though. I even blew by a trooper while going 82 mph. If you're going to speed, you can't do it during conditions where the troopers can hide ... night ... around blind spots, or bends/curves ... behind obstacles. You need clear straight visibility. :icon17:

By the way, my last 2 speeding tickets were July of 1991 (70 mph in a 55 mph) on I81 in NY, and December of 1990 (77 mph in a 55 mph) on I90. The speed limits have increased to 65 mph on most segments since then ... thank goodness. :p

hey anyone in midwest selling nismo wheels? :confused: i think i want to have a second set of wheels for my Z and my choice is nismo wheels with PSS...

if not, i will just buy new probably. :)

dont need tires or tpms.
do need lugs and center caps. flawless is ideal, but not required as i will have them fixed and painted a different color as needed.

or 40th sport wheels. those are cool too, but these will need to be flawless.

The Wera tools do the trick but not quite as nice finish as I'm used to. The metals are good, I haven't snapped the tip on a flat head and wear on the Philips/Robertson heads are normal (very little). I do like that the tips on the flats (not the jeweller screwdrivers) have small grooves etched into them for added bite, it does make a difference. Normally I avoid using flat head screwdrivers and fasteners, unfortunately much of the equipment (relays, starters, overloads, etc) used in panel builds for industrial settings have slotted hardware. :shakes head:

Mr.gale- thank you for the info once again. :tup: I should look into wera next. :p
I think my ratchet driver should do the trick for the most part. At least I can use impact driver bits if needed. :D
