I use Mobil 1 0W-40 and that is all that will go into my car. I once changed to Mobil 1 High Mileage 10W-30 and got engine clatter on start up. It was out of my motor in 2 days and back to the 0W-40.
I'm not changing unless someone can show me another 0W-40 oil that is better.
Nice feeling on the debris clean filter eh?

I had to replace the driver's side roll bar windstop clip. I carefully removed the vinyl trim piece, drilled out the rivet and installed the new clip. I then hid the wires for the windstop LED's.

Pelican listed the clips on the roll bar as no longer available. I need to replace one - where did you get yours?

ZIM's Home | Zim's Autotechnik which is also where I get my car serviced. The clips only come in a pack with both right and left and the bottom piece along with the rivets, about $30. ZIM's advertises in Excellence and Panomara. I am fortunate that I live 10 minutes from them. Give Kirk a call on Monday.

Too cute.

I was in the middle of painting my calipers when I got called to an accident where a tractor flipped over.
Can you spot the completely upside-down tractor?
Got home from the 14 hour shift to open the package that arrived today:
Hoping to finish up the calipers tomorrow and install this weekend.

Finished installing the rear speaker kit from  Euro Motorspeed on eBay. I took a lot of time with this install. A little here and there over two months. Today I finished the wiring and it all works for me the first time!
The sound is a heck of a lot better. It was worth the time and money for me.
