    Tech tip: How to align ur own suspension at home

    I wouldnt overthink this too much. I used the toe plates with good results. Get it close to "0". The only other tool I used was a magnetic angle finder. You can adjust camber easy. Caster you need to turn the frontwheel the same amounts left/right. This then gives you 2 numbers and the...

    Valve cover smoke after switching to synthetic oil

    Can I recommend a Liqui Moly brand ceratec or mos2 additive. I ran that with every oilchange in a 4cylinder 7000rpm engine with flat tappet and no hydraulic lifters. Never had any real wear and after a few oilchanges I even noticed a 1 to 2 mpg increase! I think the ceratec is better, smaller...

    I mean... if you have the sellers address you COULD try small claims, just have it documented that the part was garbage and you want money back. But I'm not giving legal advice here...just personal expierience.

    Always inspect right away. Ebay is buyer oriented and you could have gotten money back. I have been scammed several times that way when I sold things that were actually exactly as described...so there are buyers that do this too. Anyway, you should report it to ebay.

    Condensation problems STILL!

    Look at gunsafe dehumidifiers. I have a big metal cage thing that has silica in it. The "pearls" change color from blue to clear and all you have to do is throw it in the oven and its good to go again. I remember I had some issues with a cover too when my car was parked outside, i got tons of...

    Aftermarket Bucket seats because of medical reasons..?

    What happens is that certain movements cause a lot of pain and that includes the slidi g on the bench. I am not so worried about the in and out but the time i am in it. I dont mean a hardshell without cushions but... I am looking at a Sparco Qrt maybe but they are pricey whow.

    Aftermarket Bucket seats because of medical reasons..?

    Yeah I got some color swatches and I think this would look like "tried but failed to match". I would probably be better iff doing an all out hardshell seat. The getting in and out is not so much my concern...yet lol. I'm starting to look at a sparco QRT in alcantara/leather. Maybe one of those...

    Aftermarket Bucket seats because of medical reasons..?

    I'm surviving day by day. The back is extremely weather sensitive so thats fun... Those seats look like old "factory oem" recaro seats, that of course would be the best thing to find... I had something very similar in my '91 minicooper when I was 18 lol.

    Aftermarket Bucket seats because of medical reasons..?

    Uh and they do custom work as well. I think those without the headrests would look decent. I gotta see if I can get some vinyl samples from them.

    Aftermarket Bucket seats because of medical reasons..?

    I thinknI am going to look into a better harness first, thats the least amount of interiour modification I would have to do. Maybe I have it in me to build a removeable harness bar or something...

    Aftermarket Bucket seats because of medical reasons..?

    I havent even thought about the harness option! That would look a lot more correct either. I have looked around a little but haven't really fou d anything that wouldnt look like puke in the car hehe

    Aftermarket Bucket seats because of medical reasons..?

    Hey all. I'm hesitant to ask but does anyone know of some decent buckets/racing seats that will keep your lower half planted in the seat with minimal body twisting and such? I had an accident and have arthritis in my lower back now at only 37 and I have a newly upholstered metallic red/maroon...
