I would steer clear of the undercoating. If you find scratches in the engine bay or chipped paint you can get touch up paint and then clear coat over it and that will protect the metal way better than undercoating. Pretty much all aerosol under...
Do NOT use that rubberized coating for the engine compartment, if that was your question.The textured surface will hold all kinds of dirt and look eternally dirty. In addition, if water were to get underneath a crack or nick in the coating...
My tools are cheap but I calibrate them each and every time I use them. You don't have to have brand name stuff but make sure what you do get is a correct measuring device and check it all the time. If your green on how to use any of them just...
^^ Yeah I don't really see the value in a DSM chat server. Forums, the OG social media, are far superior because you can actually catalog and search a knowledge base. Yes, you can search Discord and Facebook, but their function is abysmal...
Some of the harshness is the binding, specifically on the 2-3 shift. The goal of this is longevity at mid to high power levels more than street manners though. As soon as the pressure control parts are eliminated street driving will be harsh.

I once had an issue where my car wouldn't start, took my bike to school and said screw if ill deal with it later . (This was in November if i remember as it was cold af outside )
I replaced the starter solenoid to find the same classic click (in...
#1 do not do while rebuilding engine: Smoke crack.#2: don’t use a roloc disk on the surface of the block. Use a plastic razor blade to remove the old gasket material.#3: don’t do meth either.
I hope you’re right about more DSMers taking longer trips. These cars really do have great road manners, making them fun to drive for long periods.One surprising thing that was a learning event: to view the preparedness of the car for a long...
This morning we left El Segundo and headed south on the Pacific Coast Highway. Just south of LA we stopped at Laguna Beach and Victoria Beach. It was still pretty windy in the morning but the sun was shining and we had fun getting our legs wet in...
I know this is an old post but i got some spyder seats and did that ..
I wanted to know what is different.
So if anybody want to do that here is a tutorial:Open the zipper in the back and pull the rusty clamps off.Fold back the leather on...
If you have a spare oil dipstick, this is the mod for you. Buddy gave this 2g one to me for free but I have a 6 bolt so I couldn’t use it. I had the idea to simply cut off the end and then took off any sharp edges with a dremel and a flap wheel...
RTM Racing is still in business, but we don't have much remaining in inventory now.We used discount coupons in the past to offer deep discounts as we wound down operations, but these coupons caused us some difficulties (with some of our more...
