does the seafoam help clean out your cats too or just engine components?
I doubt it. I'm reading mixed reviews about Seafoam being able to clean the cat converter. But it definitely smoothed out my rough idle and acceleration.Quote:

Damn thing dry rotted out completely, gave me no warning. Hooked up a jumper cable from the negative battery terminal to the ground point, and she started right up! I was scared that it would come loose while I drove back to the shop, so I kept the hood from closing completely and drove 10 mph all the way back to work. Got there and used some 1 AWG to make a temporary ground cable, it's been fine ever since.

Ignore that rusty hold-down, I've been too lazy to change it , it still works. Check yall ground cables, make sure they're not too corroded out.
Hahaha I have done that for several galants.
But keep that 1awg and do the rest of the cable 0awg your car will like you
Do you happen to know any specific lengths?Quote:

Negative is 10-12 inches
Block to ground is about 40 inches maybe more
Alternator to battery is 65
I got 30' of 0 AWG packed away somewhere, oxygen-free tinned copper, high quality stuff. I plan on using it as soon as I move. I'm gonna keep this here, but I'm gonna cut it down, it's too long.
That's crazy holy crap
Well got my m3 style lip spoiler on I like it. Would post pics but because I painted it gloss black its difficult to see in picture. Question though. Some how I got about 2 light hair surface scratches. Probably no bigger than a cm. No idea how other than the paint still being a lil soft. Is it possible to polish out after the paint hardens? Its gloss spray paint btw with no clear.
oil change and [as much as i hate them] steering wheel cover
Well cancel the idea of a lip spoiler. Messed it up tryna touch up a scratch. I have the worst luck with spray paint. Should've just payed to get it painted by a pro. Money wasted.
You can always sand it down and start over
got some blue8g approved wheels rota Boost 17x8 35 offset. cant tell you what the color is because its like extremely light bronze/brow color. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...DBDB8F92A7.jpghttp://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...5sgww60_57.jpg
I didn't know you were getting those, do you have tires and how much did that run you?Quote:

super sport all the way. i got the sport a\s plus doesn't look as good as the super sport..
Just putting this out there, while I agree with Cody about knockoffs, I will never condemn anyone for owning some, and I would hope that you buy what you like, what you can afford, within reason. Don't get absolute cheap shit that will break on you and jeopardize your safety and others, but if you want Rotas, do it for you. Buy self-approved wheels.
I will say this too, buying so many different sets of cheap wheels, if you saved all that money you could have had one nice set of wheels. At the end of the day however, just do you.
JDyal comes to mind. Except I think there were some trades that don't count as buying.Quote:

Lol you're right, I got some weird 15s that I traded for those enkeis that I traded for those 4gs I have on now, so it actually ran me $225 for wheels and tires originally. It's been just about a year now since I've had those 4gs and I'm happy.Quote:

Has that alway had an accordion shift boot? I thought these were long gone, I love those accordion boots.
Yep, the Fit came OEM with an accordion boot from 07-11 IIRC.
