    went up to my brothers today and waxed the regal with the PC.



    we also did a trans service on his Yukon, pan drop and filter, then we followed a write up on trans flushing for his truck, and it worked great. we took the top trans line off the radiator, screwed in a barbed fitting, then a clear tube. dumped 4 quarts in the trans, run it till you see small bubbles in the line, shut it off, add 4 more quarts, flush, and then one more time. it was easy, and no real mess to complain about either.

    i see no reason why this would not work on our cars.

    I just add 10 quarts and pull a trans line and have my wife shut the car off when i yell at her to shut it off when the fluid quits coming out. I did the same thing on my old sho and it did wonders for the old slipping trans.

    took the water pump pully off to see if it was leaking - nope

    took the engine mounts out, strut bars out, wiper arms out, and cowl cover.

    And there was a cabin filter in there just dirty

    Double DIN selection is limited, why should someone concede on a headunit just because its double DIN? That Alpine is just as good, if not better than 90% of double DIN's out there.

    Yes, and it's not entirely fresh paint either. I know you're supposed to wait 30days or so, like I did painting the bumpers on my eclipse. The fairings and tank have been painted for well over a week, and were only waxed right after wet sanding.

    Double Din IMO looks far better and completes the car more.

    A week still isn't nearly enough time. 30 days is the absolute minimum time, most people recommend 6 months before you wax. Paint has to outgas, once you wax it you have stopped it from being able to do so.

    Got a price quote to repair front bumper amd do paint touch up all over car.

    $250.00 decent price?

    Mind the front bumper is badly cracked by the right fog light corner and is causing spidering in the paint.

    Sounds pretty decent. Might be the lowest price you can find. Reputable shop?
