    Honestly I'm not so excited about it.

    Just a thousand other places it can leak now.

    Today I checked out if the HUD works. It does. So grabbed a razor and hack saw blade. And went to town cutting a big hole in my dash!!!
    HUD up and running no problems. Looks boss. Just a shame can't see with my sunglasses on LoL

    Found this on the G6 I spent 20 hours polishing this weekend



    Somehow, I'm glad to see that today. Before, the water would just stay and not bead up. So this is a gorgeous sight.
    Finally getting somewhere with this car's finish. yay!

    the first time i used the pc on my car the water still beaded up just like that after a year, with a lot of weekly car washes.

    i do it yearly now, nothing but car washes in between.

    Not for my year.

    My cooler fitting at the trans is supposed to have an external check ball.

    If I ever have the thing rebuilt I'll go internal and run stainless lines.

    The PC got a workout this weekend, that's for sure.
    I just did the G6 back in March, only thing its had is a few washes since then and if its not at work outside, its in the garage. When I washed it saturday, the water just sat there. Didn't run off or bead up or anything. I was disgusted lol.
    So hopefully these 3 coats of wax on top of everything else will last a little longer.

    I seriously don't know how I waxed before I got the PC. That thing takes all the work out of it, so nice!

    I put the scanner on my car today....pulled up 8 stored codes...copied the codes down then cleared the codes....still got the abs light on....took it to my uncles put the abs scanner on and it shows that the new hub isn't showing any speed...when I put the new hub on I was looking at the wires and the negative wire is showing a bit of copper....so now I have to clip that piece and butt connect it back together and hope it shows...if not gotta replace a whole section of wire.. On a good note it rained here saturday after 2 months of no rain !!!

    solder your wires and use shrink tubing to seal it. but connectors suck! not even close to being weather proof.

    it's not about torqueing it, it's the simple fact that when a shop does it and I need to change a flat I gotta use a dam cheater bar on it cuz they torque tf out of it and cause me a pain!!
