Add Jeep to that as well.

A Renegade is a Fiat 500.

 

So check this out...not gonna tag anyone in particular, you're all smart gentlemen, ladies, and whatever you identify as.

Without disassembling my Fox 2.0 shocks I won't know what's up, but I brought them with me from the house and they both compress with the same resistance.

They also extend at the same rate after being compressed.

I *assumed* my shock seal was bad on one hence why I took them out but I can't tell the two apart.

 

Would like to weigh both but don't have anything that'll measure below 50lbs

 

Shitty Cali paint

 

Yea

 

No, no that’s not how it works.

 

Than why does it need a light to cure

 

It doesn't. That just makes it cure faster so I don't have to wait.

 

Hmm these new process components
arnt that heavy

I can just pick up and place the transmission in the back of my lifted suv with a drawer system i also have to overcome

The t case i can just carry with one arm

 

Again shitty Cali paint

 

Yeah buddy, that's not how it works. You can go to any state in the country and they will have an infrared curing lamp or a heated paint booth.

 

But you wont need one anywhere else

Here in texas paint is ready to handle within an hour

From bondo, to primer, to paint, to 3 layers of clear, and back on the truck all in the same day on my tailgate no lamp it was actually cold that day too

it came out great aside from the fact i didnt use enough bondo so the dents were just diminished

 

Yeah. I don’t need one, but I have it so it makes my life easier. Stop trying to use California as a scapegoat. This is the same paint you can buy in any other state.

See where it says 15 minutes under IR light instead of 3-4 hours?

 

Got the Wheelers shims put on, looking to do the Alcan install tomorrow using my sister's driveway

 

Yup. Its the aerosol propelants in rattle cans that make the term California paint true. The stuff you bought should be the same everywhere.

 

Apparently the Omni clear coat I bought is illegal here, because O' Rileys isn't allowed to sell it in California.

 

Did you wipe the paint down with acetone before clearing it?

 

Most likely it will go away. If I was running Nissan, I would drop the Maxima and revert the Q50 back to its original Skyline name and market it as a "Nissan Skyline" like Japan. There is not enough difference in a Maxima and Altima now days to keep both products. That would give Nissan a true high end 4-door sports car and bring people into Nissan showrooms. I might turn the Q60 into a more refined Z-Car. Both are built on the same platform. I wonder how much longer Japanese muscle cars will even be a going marketing concern in the future? I haven't see anyone up in NWA driving GTRs lately. That may have run its course.

The initial marketing for Infiniti was a case study in how NOT to introduce a product.

We may see Ford drop Lincoln sooner than later.

Interestingly, I see the Infiniti QX80 is selling ok for a luxury SUV. I like Lexus, but like looks like QX80 sales numbers can't be ignored.

 

That's a terrible idea. It will dissolve the paint. You use 70% Isopropyl, followed by a tack rag.
