    What did you do to your ride today

    I have not used the v36 and 38 in a long time. I think the only time I used it was when it first came out. The hard thing with detailing I think is finding a product line that works well for you and with you. For example a lot of people really like meguiars m105 and 205. For me I a have never...

    What did you do to your ride today

    What is your pad and polish combination, what brand polisher? After a few details on my old 07 ms3(when I use to have it, I think it was about 8yrs old at that point). I pulled the side moldings off. Polished it up and waxed it and it looked like they were never there. When I detailed mine I...

    I've had ball joints and torque arm bushing (control arm is different) cause clunking when going over bumps or like driveway transitions.

    Parasitic Draw?

    I would make sure all the consumers are off and see if it's charging at idle around 13.5-14.5 as stated above. If the battery is good and not to cold outside where you are at and have a multimeter. What I do at work is set it it in amps. Take the negative cable off the battery terminal. Then...

    painted wheels

    Thanks. I though about powder coating a set of wheels but didn't feel like not having a vehicle and having to take the tires on and off of these. Also didn't want to buy another set to powder coat and then have to try to sell off the extra set. I'm happy with the outcome and save a tone of money...

    painted wheels

    Decided to paint the wheels on my 2017 f150 instead of buying different ones. I like the 17" wheel for now. Cheaper tires. I didn't want to just go with black as everyone does black wheels with white trucks so I decided to do a metallic graphite.

    That thing is nice. I was looking at getting one of those or the triumph rocket 3 but they ended up being to hard to find in my area and to expensive.

    If you need to do a brake flush and have a dot 3 or dot 4 system then I would recommend trying 5.1 fluid. It was awesome on the first ride out since I did the flush. Lever action is amazing. Hardly take much action now unlike before for me. I am going to put 5.1 in my truck when I need to flush...

    Just did a brake fluid swap with some 5.1, rear pads, and put new shoes on but have not had time to go break in the new shoes yet.

    Yeah iv'e seen that too. Talking about 4th gear. But from what I remember it was with the oem(triumph) quick shifter installed from factory. That's nice about the insurance. I wish yamaha was cheaper for me just because it's a little closer and some days im lazy. That's how I was planning to...

    @mangosmoothie I like the lane splitter type mirror. I was looking at the fz10 before the speed since I like the odd way it looks, like a transformer. But the insurance on it was insane for me compared to the speed. The closed triumph dealer is now 45 miles away. The yahama dealer I like to go...

    Gen 1 misfire

    What spark plugs are currently in there and any idea how long you have had them. Might be time just change them out if they look like crap. Porcelain counts also, just not the electrode. I usually ran mine at 0.028". https://www.mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/spark-plug-data-base.1436/

    It depends on what your doing. on mine at least if I want to change maps I think I need a corded dongle. When I try to do the throttle body balance for fun yesterday it failed, same with trying the radiator fan. I am thinking because I am bluetooth. But I am using this one...
