Picked up some optimum opti-coat hyper seal for my next wash.
Also snagged a radium master cylinder brace from a part out. |

Is $400 CAD good value for a open flash header V2?
I have a seller offering it to me from a part out. |

Seems fairly cheap for a header to me. Maybe verify all the welds are in good shape before the buy? Have a look at the collector.

He's willing to toss in a Perrin overpipe for $500 all in. I'm hesitant since it won't pair well with my Corsa catback that I bought new 6 months ago. |

Just finished cleaning the inside of the back window on my FR-S.
I got in, got it cleaned alright, however, I thought I was going to have to call for the jaws-of-life to get me out - humfrz |

Bottomed out on the freeway today. My FRS is only two inches lower from stock height, but the bump that I hit managed to smash my Fumoto oil drain valve and put a small dent in the oil pan.

With the oil filter on the top of the engine I use an oil extractor. I haven't even seen the underside of my car yet. When I get rid of this car the oil drain plug will still be at factory torque spec. Plus the oil changes are a no mess affair

That is why I would never put a drain valve on a car. The added 10 seconds to remove a plug is worth not having the risk of knocking a drain valve off.

Seeing how tough it is just gives me more confidence. I know "10 seconds" is hyperbole for the sake of emphasis but in reality, the Fumoto is a godsend for a few reasons. Mid-stream oil sample is a hateful task without it.
