im 110% positive theres only 1 washer on the drain plug as the original one fell into the oil as i was draining it lol, when it warms up a bit i will go check the oil filter

Just received my new thicker gaskets that have adhesive on one side! Yeah! Hopefully these will stop my trunk from being a pond....

I got rid of the stock Primacy's and got MPSS today. I haven't had a chance to drive much but on the way home I felt like I was riding on Flintstone rock tires- they put in 37 psi! We'll see how the ride is today with 31. I went with 225/45/17

MPSS were my first choice but expensive, so I originally planned to go with BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2 (great price for a good tire). But one place I went to tried to sell me 3 year old tires (ALWAYS read the DOT date on the tires!) and the next place had a hard time finding the Comp 2's. So I decided to spend too much and get the best.

Trying something different. Added the rear window window visor, and moved my third brake light to outside the car.

Nice mod, can you tell us more about it?

I made it from stuff laying around, like all my mods... I am cash poor and "stuff-laying-around" RICH! Plus, I work with LEDs and enjoy soldering.

The wire to the light is ran up the side of the window behind the small rubber trim.

(window window LOL!!!)

Currently the wire is quick ran through the tail light hole into the trunk. If I decide to keep it this way, I will run the wire more elegantly through the trunk lid wire rubber boot.

Installed my tail light gaskets too. Thanks to @Clipdat
Used this like you suggested!!!

How did it go? When I used it I just applied it to the back of the tail lights, and then pressed the gasket down onto it and let it set for a while before installing.

That stuff stinks so bad, I made the mistake of doing mine indoors.

It went well. I have a car port, thankfully, cause this stuff probably causes cancer. Anyway, it has not really rained yet to test the seal. I'll update if my trunk stays dry or begins to fill with water, again.

Thanks for the help!

Ill add this for others...

Tip: I think it's a good idea to wear rubber/nitrile gloves when using this stuff.
