    Super durable black paint for bracket/suspension/etc...advice?

    I have had good success with duplicolor high temp flat black engine paint. The shocks on my BMW had a ton of surface rust and the paint worked perfectly. If you can sandblast them otherwise sand by hand.

    Cluster, Setting Milage, question

    The mileage is stored in the cluster and not in the ECU. If you change the cluster, the mileage will change (either higher or lower depending on how many miles the new one has). And why the hell are you changing your cluster?

    98 v6 battery power

    To be honest, I don't think its a alternator problem. It should have more than enough power to roll up a window without dimming everything. Someone can correct me, but Honda declared this as normal. It has to do with the voltage regulator thats built into the capacitor. Grounding kit...

    my parents arent really 100% supporting me, but they pay for insurance. Which is suprisingly not that expensive. the only reason i can keep it is because its not a daily driver. i can take my time to fix things when they go wrong.

    Never really thought about the kbb < personal value. But yea youre right man, its definitly easier when its not your DD and more of a project car. I just work on it when I have time. Now that the Accord got hit, my dad got a 1993 Ford Festiva with 70k miles. We bought it for $400 and it works...

    New Power Outlet Port

    NO! Do not just use a resistor. The voltage on a car is not steady. It can fluctuate between 12-14V. You need to get a 5V regulator. The most common one is the LM7805. It can handle 1Amp which is more than enough to charge your devices. Most USB chargers are 100mA, 200mA or 500mA. I...

    Who said its slipping?? haha it shifts perfectly every time, but not as unnoticeable and smooth as it could be. flush and filter should take care of it, imo its probably the water that got in it. 1 month before it was perfect.

    I think the fluid has been changed. But I read somewhere that Mobil1 now owns Esso and its pretty much the same ****. It meets the BMW specs. And searching the formulas, e38 guys run either valvoline or mobil1. but now valvoline changed their formula so i dont want to risk it with them...

    Yea I did. followed the MFR instructions. It was 5x agressive 40-10 and 5x moderate 35 to 5 and drive a little to let them cool. I definitly think its the antisieze though, the weaker braking is on the side that got messy during the installed. and after some driving, i noticed that the left...

    I'm going with Mobil1 Synthetic ATF. Its approved as an alternative to Esso BMW fluid. Oh and guys. I completey forgot to tell you this. Its been raining balls in Illinois this summer and one night I got caught in a storm... got stuck in a street and even on some guys lawn the water got up to...

    I dont think I was clear. It was dark when I changed the discs and I think I got a little bit of anti-sieze on them. So i think its the small amount of anti-sieze on the face of the pads... braking was perfect before i changed the rotors and pads.

    I realized that lol. but hopefully all will be well once its done. a lot of the stuff im doing is preventative. youre right, everything on this car was designed as complicated as possible to make people go to the dealer.

    Yea, I think once its all set I should be pretty much trouble free for a while. A lot of work was done, I got some records from different dealerships. Rear suspension, all shocks, radiator, were all taken care of Its mechanically perfect. That's pretty much why I bought it. Compression was...

    And here is the LIST: I dont have time for day by day updates, but I will keep you guys informed. I really learned a lot from everyone here, you guys are really knowledgable and without you guys I probably would be at this level now. And tech question. I got some anti-sieze on the brake...

    ;) I have my own folder. I'll post up my plans for the bimmer. And that car is mojoloco's or something. I think he was running Nex or FK coilovers. I did inspect it. I brought a mechanic. lol But most of the problems came after I bought it. But yea, I guess I should've looked at it more...
