It appears that CHE is still making their rear shock tower braces.
If so, maybe they would be willing to make a rear swaybar as well..dunno.

Ok..so Eastwood has a roll-on epoxy primer, but it is back ordered until September.
I am looking at
Speedokote Epoxy Fast Dry 2.1 low voc DTM Primer & Sealer Primer.
Based on Amazon reviews, It appears to have been used as a roll-on.
I know painting is not really show-and-shine, but hope...
Ok..I am starting to look at getting an O'scope for automotive.
I have a LT for my Audi VCDS, so if O'scope uses a LT for display, that is fine.
I would like to stay in the $400 or less range.
Would like something that will not get burnt by 500V spikes and doesn't need 9V batteries.
Looking...
Well I was crawling around under the car and noticed chunks of red poly on my k member. Sure enough, it looks like my prothane motor mounts are either melting or breaking apart.
I found some threads in some Corvette forums from years ago that talked about this problem with the prothanes.
I...
Media has dead Librarian painted in a corner on this one....IMO.
Only side to the story is the "injured" biker and his friend...who both followed her to her home.
There are other more detailed articles on line and police videos...
Though no arrest was made....I am watching for an...
So I posted this in the newedge forum and found out that only the 99 has the coolant level sensor.
I took my broken sensor apart by scoring the bottom of the sheathing..the dorman part just pulls off.
I desoldered the old reed switch and resoldered a new reed switch on.
The original sheath...
ok..so I was trying to get the coolant level sensor connector off and the sensor pulled out of the tank.
The slender sleeve that protects the resistor pulled off and broke the wiring.
I have had no luck finding a replacement or finding electrical part number a repair video.
I would try...
Ok I pretty much know what is wrong and how to fix it, so this is more about what tester to buy.
Recently...
1. Oem coolant temp is rock solid.
2. Aftermarket coolant temp goes up quite a bit (250) when I get on it, steadying out at cruise and idle to about 190.
3. After I come in for a landing...
Ok...so I plan to start troubleshooting this weekend. I need our backup car running!!
I plan is to fix speedo problem and see what goes from there. Problem is intermittent...and speedo working makes bucking go away...so problems appear to be related.
1. Run torque app to see if speedo works...

It can be bought here...
Ex-Facebook security chief, now Zoom advisor, says he still trusts Zoom for his video meetings
Considering the legendary Swiss cheese security of Facebook, I'm not sure putting the facebook security guy in charge is such a good idea for Zoom.
This is not the face Zoom should be putting on...
Ok..I got a hydroboost off of Amazon.
The body has 464A-4 cast number
My original hydroboost has 464A-7 cast number
There is a threaded barbed hose fitting that goes in my original.
It does not thread into the new hydoboost and the new one is not threaded at all.
The new hydroboost also seems...
I just wanted to post up pics of lower intake clearancing for MMR HCM.
I probably removed more material than was really necessary, but i did what I did.
I found that a file and hack saw worked best for me.
Depth of intake space above freeze plug is ~10mm.
Height of MMR fixture is...
ok freeze plug did not flip with the screwdriver/pliers method of removal.
instead it it just went in deeper.
it is on the top intake rests, where the HCM goes; so at least it will not get lost in the channels.
idea 1:
slice the center open with a sharp wood chisel and then pry it out with a...
I just thought I would post up a couple of pics of the two intakes.
The real difference has to be felt with your hands.
The AL Flashing shows a bit in the first pic.

OK.
I've removed the Airbox to replace the AC evaporator that I snapped off..dohh..
The AC was never blowing out of the center vents.
By looking this up, it appears to be a main (black) vac line problem from the bay.

This may be old news..but news to me...
ok..my MRT hood struts are 10 years old and fail when it's FL cold.
I've done a cursory thread search and haven't found a replacement strut solution yet.
I have found that the originals are 80# and that Cervini recommends 120# struts.
Admittedly, I haven't even measured the MRT strut lengths...
No more tip-toeing.
-Time for LE reform.
-Time for proper vetting, with real background checks and lie detector tests that actually check for crimes, not just truthfulness about committing past crimes. .
-Time for repeated psyche and drug evals, random and often.
-Time for open SOPs.
-Time for...
I just recently fixed my steering wheel slop.
First I was convinced that it was my steering shaft.
I based this on my having had a shop check it for me.
They indicated that it was my lower steering shaft and not my rag joint.
After removing the steering shaft, it was apparent that the shaft...
