    San Diego Guys

    Hey, Bill. Saw you "flying" south on El Camino Real and Mesa Drive Saturday afternoon around 4:15. I was at the light turning south from Mesa onto ECR in the wife's Scion Xb so there was no way I was going to catch up to you. The new hood looks good :nice: John

    San Diego Guys

    I've had mine dynoed at The Dyno Shop in Santee a couple of times. When they have their dyno days it's usually $40 for two pulls with air/fuel data. I don't know how many cars minimum you need for a group deal. Give them a call.

    C5 vette or 05' stang?

    Heck, I've seen new C5's around here for the high 30's. If $$ aren't a problem I'd spend the extra $10k for a C5. It will hold its value better too.

    Re: Waxing new paint, use a sealer first?

    I getting set to put the initial coat of wax on my new paint job (base + clear coat). I'm going to use P21S for the wax. Should I also use a sealer before the wax? Thanks!

    Pics of new paint job

    Thanks. Actually, I think it looks better in person. Lens Autobody in Oceanside did the work. It was not inexpensive, but a little less than another estimate. Including all new moldings and bodywork, it was $6k. I didn't want to spend that much, but that's how it turned out.

    Headlight questions

    Wet sand with 600, 1000, and 1500 or 2000 grit sandpaper. Then polish with Mothers mag polish (white paste). They will look much better.

    What can cause a starter solinoid to go bad?

    I've gone through 3 of those in the last three years or so even with new battery cables. I wonder if the cause is cheap, shoddy manufacturing (probably in China).

    Anyone here from Arizonza?

    I used to live in Phoenix and I loved the weekly car show at Pavillions. Pretty neat.

    Polished or chrome???

    I have AFS polished on mine and they're great. They are clear coated so you don't have to polish them. Chrome is too shiny IMO

    Headlights

    I wet sanded with 600, 1000, and 1500 grit sandpaper and then used Mothers mag polish. It turned out well, but as stated previously you need to do it every 6 mths or so to maintain the appearance. I've heard that spraying clear coat on the lenses can help.

    Gear Drives?

    I had a gear drive years ago in my 340 Cuda. Sounded alot like a blower, but it doesn't quiet down above idle like a blower. It got rather annoying after a few weeks. Perhaps they've figured out a way to quiet them down with better technology.

    Pro5.0 vs Steeda Tri-Ax for a T5?

    I've got the Pro 5.0 and its fine, but the slightly longer handle on the Tri-Ax and the tilt might make it a little easier in everyday driving.
