WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY?

From the inside, it felt like the car wash was going to tear the car apart, but nothing came off, yet.

Actually, it did a good job -

I ran mine through a similar type car wash for the first time (at least since I've owned it) a week or so ago. I was a tad anxious through the process, thinking something was either going to break or I would be left with scratches all over (not that it doesn't already have plenty).

But yeah, it came out fine. Probably better for it than the hand washes it gets with the terrible water at my house that leave water spots anywhere I can't dry.

Hard water in Indiana, what in the earth could cause THAT? -

What gasket did you use for your single exit delete?

I grew up a few miles from that quarry,and we didn't have hard water. Most of Chicagoland's water,not including unincorporated areas and collar counties,get our water straight from Lake Michigan.

I don't know what part of Indiana Squall is from,but there's pretty much no chance that the Thornton Quarry is the reason for his hard water.

Maybe he lives near one of the other thousands of limestone quarries that underlie the other 2/3 of Indiana -

I'll clearify my last sentence by saying there's no way he has hard water if he lives in NW Indiana. So yeah,it's probably a good chance he lives in another part of the state that doesn't get it's water from Lake Michigan.

I was given some performance pack Sachs dampers by a friend for helping him through tough times and being his go to for getting his car fixed. I didn't ask for them but after we installed his coilovers he knew I wanted them and told me to take them.

They have been through a couple Vermont winters and were thrashed by road salt. Good as new now!









Just a little touching up and they'll be perfect! They're also getting fitted with Eibach pro-kit springs.

I ended up heading to the Remark site and ordering the 2.5' type 3 gasket (4'' tall by 5.3 wide). Was a pain in the arse ordering anything to fit from the dealership, after 3 months and 2 wrong gaskets, Remark had it to me in just under 2 weeks (across the border to me in Canada, so not bad)

Nope, not Lake Michigan water here near Muncie. I have well water. And our property is surrounded by farmland. I don't know what all they put on corn & soybean fields these days, but I'd have to imagine we get lots of runoff collecting in the well aside from the normal well water issues. Tastes just wonderful - even with the water softener there's plenty of rust left, I'd imagine plenty of other wonderful things too. (We usually use refillable gallon jugs for drinking/food water, but not so much since we've been avoiding going out in public.)

The garden hose of course doesn't get treated water anyway. I have an RV filter on it, but that doesn't help much. And there are always some pretty big dark "particles" in the rinse bucket if I fill it with water from the hose. Good thing I bought a black car so I can see all the swirl marks (and water spots) I give it even when taking many precautions.

Installed a new fourth brake/reverse light. Just need to finish up the wiring so that I get the brake light in it as well and it's good to go.
