I've used this type of product as a trail fix. I wouldn't leave it on, but I will say that a buddy had it on his rad for 2 years and all was fine.Quote:

Washed it since it's finally above freezing. (It's been over a month) Also waxed the headlights and tails as I always do almost every wash. Good to wash the salt off, I sprayed what I could of the underbody too. My car doesn't seem to clean up very well like it did in the summer for some reason. I really need to clean the inside windows, I've been using rubbing alcohol to clean windows for years and it's always worked really well, but recently the new bottles they come in also seem to b a different product. It's no longer streak free, they must be putting other things in it (that don't evaporate) so now I have to find a new favorite glass cleaner. Anybody have any preferences? I know of windex and dirtex.
Surf City Garage "Beyond Glass". Been using it for a few years and haven't been able to make it streak.Quote:

I use vinegar and newspaper to clean my windows and I wouldn't do it any other way.
Ahh see I hate the smell of vinegar, and strangely that's my mom's method too.
Where can I find that stuff?Quote:

walmart or Oriellys for Invisible Glass.
cheap and effective
Drove up to Intense and had a 3.5 pulley installed. It really screams now. And pulls better.
Another thing, I FINALLY decided to aim my headlights. The left was pointing all the way in the center and far down, the right was just up too high. So I leveled them to about here. They're level to each other but I have no idea where exactly they should be. How's this look?

Drove it for the first time in a month. My beater took a dump on me. Here's the damage...

Apparently the shift tower bolt snapped, hit a gear and blew a hole in the trans case. Ah well I only paid $600 for the car 5 months ago...

I cleaned up the bullits around the outside of the rims where they had a little curb rash. I also noticed 2 of them are welded up. They still hold air fine so I'm guessing it was a professional fix. I'm dropping them off to get new tires put on tomorrow. 235/50/17's sound good to me.
how much KR now?Quote:
