Delivered papers this morning with the front seat removed and the air bag sensor. I thought it was just a sensor for the passenger side, but nope, SRS light stayed on. So back it goes. The floor was smoother without it, but one less light on the dash telling me something is wrong is better. The big test will be how no front passenger seat goes on a Sunday, in preparation for the largest paper of the year on Thanksgiving...
Why is not having ABS such a big deal? ABS is TERRIBLE.Quote:

my car says abs should be disabled with the dtc im throwing but guess what? it works just fine.
Took it to coffee shop. Read few chapters of 'A Game of Thrones'. Awesome book.
Took me a lot of time with some small brushes to clean in the small cubbyholes. I know some shops around here acid clean wheels. It's safe for the paint, but it will ruin the lip if the factory clear has come off. I'm not sure how the acid will affect the aluminum. When I polished my wheels last year, I removed the clear on them and polished them out. Such a big difference.Quote:

Nate, those wheels look great.
Put on my all-season Goodyear GTs today with stock CompG wheels.
Thanks, they didn't turn out too bad at all.
Discovered today that my EGR knows when it's going to be replaced. SES light was on, so picked up one from a pick a part lot. SES light went off for six weeks. Past few days SES light returned, so I went to pick up the gasket. And now the SES light is off again!
Well whatever paint was on them has started flaking off from the brake fluid. If you have time you should put a write-up on my progress thread in the my ride section.... if its not too much of a hassle. I'm gonna be pulling the tires off and probably putting it on jack stands and replacing the brakes if I have time anyway. Might just have someone take the tires off cuz fronts are shot anyway and i'm thinking about sandblasting them and painting them like you mentioned.Quote:

Edit: or should I just tape off the tires and use the sandblasting booth to do it? Which would work better do you think. Also do you know if PPG sells a 1k epoxy? Too lazy to do research lmao

If I had the right car this is how I would do my X laces. I could do a write up as to how I polished my lips.
This option is black mesh with a polished lip. Very nice as well.

I think I'll do that on my black 1995 Ford Lightning. The Boyd Coddington wheels I put on it are really bad. I think I might still be able to get a good polished lip out of them.
Change my headlights in my car as i discovered that one was burnt out. Then I changed a buddies spark plugs and o2 in his gagt.
I really like this its my favorite blue. If I could I'd paint my whole car that color but too much money for color changeQuote:
