I just bought some 3M adhesive spray, hopefully I can get it to look better.

Just be careful to stay it on and let it become tacky (not wet) before your lay the cloth back down or it will soak thru and leave splotches (don't ask... :facepalm )Quote:

Just finished reinstalling it back into the car. Doesn't look amazing but sure is a lot better than the fabric hanging down or spending $140+. I don't think anyone would notice any flaws unless they specifically were looking for them. I'll see how it holds up in the next few months...
I ripped mine off; you can't really tell. It just looks like it needs a vacuum.Quote:

He circled the DISA connection in the photo. Some people say the NJ 4k fix disables the DISA so this may be why he doesn't feel a difference.Quote:

Approximately how much engine oil is drained out during an oil change? I mean in terms of quarts...

I would hope around 6-6.5 quarters... the filter soaks up a good half quart in itself.Quote:

No problem. The actual oil capacity is 6.5 quarts but it'll take 7 because of the oil filter. I figure when you drain you'll get between 6 and 6.5 quarts out because of oil that may still be left in the system after draining. Just FYI.Quote:

Is there a way to tighten the rear view mirror? It moves when I go over train tracks.
Are you using an Aux jack? Otherwise I'm no help.Quote:

As far as I know, if you mean the ball and socket joint where you actually adjust the mirror, there isn't a way to tighten that. It's just plastic on plastic held in by friction and is probably worn. If you mean where the mirror meets the windshield, you may be able to replace the spring clip on it, but I'm not sure. Sorry I'm not more help.Quote:

I bought the mirror from a member here, was hoping for ...something :(
If you go down the list of possible solutions and really can't think of anything else, you could get some bondo or some sort of high-wear paste and just stick a thin layer all over the ball on the ball joint to just give it some added thickness and hopefully more friction.Quote:

Thinking of taking a road trip from Virginia to Florida for a vacation and driving the zhp. Rough idea on what maintenance I should be caught up on?
Latest thing I have replaced was the fuel pump. I am coming up on an oil change so I was going to do oil filter/oil, air filter, cabin filter and a new fuel filter. Any other suggestions?
Cooling system would be my main worry. I assume it's good on your car(s).Quote:

Well I owned my Imola sedan for roughly 37k and the previous owner replaced the cooling system using factory parts before i bought it. Don't see any leaks and the level is steady in the expansion tank. 60k is the recomended replacement right ?Quote:

Personal preference. I would do +35
35 for sure

Yeah but he won't have fit problems on 35s. Can still even space those out if desired. Just stick to oem tire sizes

35 is bleeding edge. I had to make modifications to make my et35 BBS' fit, though my car is lowered (not sure if his is). With stock suspension I suspect there'd be enough suspension travel to still rub at least a little bit, but I never had stock suspension so I don't know.Quote:

The rears are usually the wheels to give problems with clearance, but you're already set on that so all's well.
