Or just sell the car and get something else.

yah, im sure they will take care of you, haboob. kinda a big waste of money selling your car for new just for that! unless youre having other issues or have another car you really want in mind.

Nah, I'm not getting rid of it. Not yet anyways, and not because of this if I did.

How'd it go? Did you pass your inspection yet?


Checked the tires today... front right was at 32... pumped to 36.5 lowered my left from 37 to 36.5. Rears were even at 37.5. Spare was 32 so I pumped it to 60.

Quick question on the spare... do you inflate to recommended on the side wall or do you underinflate? If you do underinflate to what pressure? It was such a pain to get to and hope to never have to use it.

Yup passed inspection yesterday and just now driving home from the install. I went ahead and splurged with the Uprev tune.

She sounds so now. I'll try to upload the one video I took once I'm at my laptop.

As if you need another poor quality dyno video. Sorry, this was all I could get in a hurry and my T3i wouldn't focus for shiz.

My buddy says he thinks he can buff it out. The part on the A-pillar is just a scuff, not into the paint (from what I can feel/see), so I may be lucky.

Just gotta schedule a session this weekend for him to swing by.

I tested crc maf cleaner on painted nissan surface.

Did not damaged the paint. Means can be used for tar removal.
Cheaper and readily available vs RC car motorspray.

Try at your own risk.

Today, the Z and I came to work. We had gone on a 10 day Motorcycle trip, and the Z sat, covered in the garage under her 40th ann. cover, begging to get out and drive. Looks like I am going to have to order new head lights. I got a ticket for "tinted lights" and need to get that singed off, Any options?

Is the lens tinted with paint? Use thinner and remove.
