Just checking things over after Winter slumber. I had some help.

Installed the new air filter set up for Weber DCOE's . uses a K & N filter.

Recaros dependent on condition and model i would say $1000. to $2500. 

Most sellers are asking $1800. to $2600.

There are deals out there but if you want nice ones plan on spending $1800. to $2600.

The market is hot past few years. I paid $1200. for a redone pair three years ago. 

I would  not part with them for less then 2k. Still need to be installed in car. Life if funny.

I lust for a orange Spectrum pair at $2500. but keep tellin my self to just install the ones I have.

Facebook has a Recaro page that is active with some nice stuff and some deals.

Good Luck with your search. 

Great stuff, enjoy your videos

Agree, Speedhut gauges are well worth the price of admission.

First short drive of Spring just to get the temps up. A few minutes in my horn shorts out.

I think I impressed the neighbors, my plastic plunger in the steering hub came apart and was shorting

the horn button.  Some e6000 adhesive and looks good as new.

Crisis averted .

I payed less than $20. on eBay a couple weeks back.

This showed up today on my front porch.  New air filter setup for my 40 DCOE Webers.

My old filters were getting tired and started looking at my options. I found this made by Tim

at TimJason Performance.  We talked a few weeks back and I'm excited to get this installed in the near future.

would it be acceptable to clean and squish grease into these bearings at the top of the strut?

 

 

FCP Euro or ECS Tuning has Meyle ones for under $30. Buy two and get free shipping.

The cracks are obvious on my Macbook Pro.  Most today use their phone but that would be on him.

No disrespect but I wouldn't call those cracks small.

One mans junk is another mans treasure.  

Best I would do is he pays for shipping both ways and refund for wheel only. When you get the wheel back.

Or tell him to pound salt,  caveat emptor 

All the reviews are very recent. Plus very little info on them. Have sold hundreds of cars. Yeah right.

I would think scam also. I would tread very lightly.

Agreed, wait till Monday and talk to Blunt.

I  have springs on my rears also. 

Some used ones in the classifieds section. NMNA

That or do a WTB ad.  Someone will have them.

If it had free shipping i'd be interested. 🙂

Mike, I did look up Flit Gun. I am 81 and remeber them but not the name. Your Granddad must have ended up with biceps like Charles Atlas. Look that one up younguns.

 

Speaking of DDT, a friend of mine grew up in a rural Illinois town. The kids would run behind the DDT Truck in the spray of DDT(look it up, hint, a lethal pesticide) to cool off on hot summer nights. He is still alive with no chronic illnesses, walks three miles a day, is 86 years old.

 

I wonder how many of his fellow runners can say that? If they can say anything at all.

I have crossed paths while getting treated of a gentleman that did just that.  He had blood cancer of sorts.

He didn't know if it was the trucks or the fact he worked with Roundup for over a decade.

He was giving it a pretty good fight for his age.  

Stay healthy people.

They handle over 16 million pkg's a day. Things happen

I searched for ever last year for VDO. I gave up and went with Speedhut Gauges.

They have a ton of options on how the gauges look. 

I did go chrome bezels cause I like shiny. Guess I should of dusted before pictures.

and I thought 70k was a lot.  Holy Moly 

Think Flitz is the best. 

Cleaning up the new to me seat floor brackets.

Still have some metal to trim off of two brackets.

Agreed Dremel cut off wheel, the 420 wheel is almost an inch and is reasonably tuff.

I prefer alcohol over swearing, but then one usually leads to the other.
