Avery Dennison just sent a big packet of samples. Going through them now. I'm looking at metallic teal or copper pearl.

It is very classy but not sure how close it is to PPW. I'm going to have to park my Evo next to another PPW Z when I find one. lol

Yeah I'd love to wrap my car in matte pearl. Ever since I saw a daytona 675r with a matte pearl white paint job...

Let's see.. Today? Pulled all four wheels to check my brake pads. All looked great but the thing still squeaks. Replaced the driver's side power window motor, and finished it all off by replacing the plugs, cleaning the mass air flow sensor and the throttle body. Then if that was not enough, I got bold and replaced the cabin filters in my 01 Accord coupe. Ok, I'm calling it a day.

My driver door started to not open from the outside. Took it apart using the guide I found UN the diy section, and I did not find an issue. Seems like the internal door handle actuated the door release mire so than the external door linkage. Don't know what to do or what to replace...

Speed-shifting = no lift shift if I understand correctly. And no, I wasn't. Just normal shifting. Shoulda been double clutching, the Diesel is disappoint.

Yeah, that's what i figured they were asking....

However, it only works on old american tractors (read mustangs etc) you should never do that on any quality/modern vehicle, it's one of those things people talk about as they've heard it from old stories.

Wickliffe, great videos. They capture the exhaust sound well. I'm glad someone else out there likes to rev under overpasses haha.
