Ill just try to drive it everyday weather permitting


Going to make my Wisconscion run on the 24th, weather permitting. Burning out the 93 before filling with 91 for the winter. It's a full day of, as you called it, carnage. Unfortunately, my timing misses the fall colors, but hey, I'm driving (sort of hard) anyway. Everyone is welcome to join me for lunch at Hansen's Hold-up if they wish. Have to start early, as it take's a few hours to get there, but I like it.

Fun area, always has been. Best on non-business days to do a fast pass through, but not very often.

Why do you fill with 91 for winter?

Have been running BP 91 since I bought her in 2012, no problems. My station added 93 this summer for cheaper than 91. Been running BP 91 in my Kawasaki since 2001, sits all winter and fires right come spring, no additives, no problems. Dealership doesn't think 93 is an issue, but we are waiting to hear crickets at idle. Either way, she hibernates come the end of the month.

I know theyre trying to convert to an online only store so Idk if you can actually just go there anymore.
Sorry, MAP? What's the acronym for searching for map is no good.

I have a friend who does a lot of detail work on the side. He's younger 22~, but does really good work. He's done a couple hoods now, shouldn't be much different.

If you use fb, search Nick Bower. His profile pic is him wearing a Canucks jersey on the right. This is his side business and you can tell him I sent you.

I was going to do the same thing, ended up changing my mind. I have a precut gloss black vinyl overlay from Blue Bat Overlays that I never even took out of the shipping packaging. If you want it let me know.

How much are you willing to let it go for? I was going to get it professionally done but for the right price I mine as well try and do it myself. Is it dry application or is it kind of like window tint where you need it to be wet?

This is what BlueBatOverlays told me about install: "Overlays are made from a 7 Year rated High Performance Premium Vinyl, very durable! Application is Peel and Stick with the aid of soap and water, and a hair dryer for some applications. Overlays can be removed if desired with no or minimal residue left behind by applying heat with a hairdryer or heat gun and slowly peel off."

I think I paid $80, I would probably let it go for $60.
