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?

New Escort Max2 and new TRW Trailing Arms
 

01S with a lot less road noise.

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.:cheers:

Finished the last leg of our 2500 mi road trip. Spent a week in Fla, highlight was Saturday in the Porschplatz for the 12 Hr of Sebring.

Can you spot the completely upside-down tractor?

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.

Got my '02 back from the shop - where it had the original Water Pump replaced after 127K miles.

Conditioned my leather seats and drove it along the ocean on my way home from work :D

Your got your money's worth out of that water pump. My original water pump went out at around 109K miles.

I saw another forum member enjoying the outdoors in their natural habitat! Not that I'm stalking forum members or anything.. :D

Any guess to who this is? The bumper sticker and green interior is a big hint !

Retroman1969

Ding ding! Sorry for the bad sideways pic. Dang smart phones!

It was too easy with you saying green interior and looking at your location.

Did you guys get to chat with each other?

Unfortunately not. I was in my dd. So he was probably scared that some guy in a hyundai was taking pictures and waving at him like a crazy person! Maybe next time!

Just picked mine up from the Indy... Took it in last week for my yearly oil change (only drive about 2K a year) and had them cut open the filter. The news wasn't good. Metal in the filter. Scheduled a ims retrofit on Monday and they finished the work this morning. When they got to the bearing, they noted it was failing. Bearing was replaced and sump dropped for cleaning. Metal and plastic were found in the sump, and the intake tube had debris in it. They also replaced the RMS with the new style. Total cost 2400.00, but engine sounds smoother and I can breathe easier now... Just glad wife was supportive haha... More botox for her now.

Plastidip my exhaust tips and surround.
Going for the black edition look :-)

Wheels are next, waiting on the Matt black plastidip wheel kit getting delivered.
Good thing is this is reversible, simply peels offhttp://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1427394666.jpg
