Converted my a/c refrigerant to r134 and it works great! It hasnt worked since I bought it. Also undercoated my wheel wells and front bumper support. Slowly but surely its looking better

Didn't do much but put washer fluid in her.

I did tend to the Altima today and topped of oil and got a new air filter in her.

I need local trails to hit. Stuff that's 30 mins away an nothing crazy just fun. :sigh: my girl needs to stretch her legs

I second this. Grinders work well and are precise. Just gotta let blade do its work.

Nutn special. Replaced plug wires and cleaned my K&N filter. Degreased the engine block and the valve cover. Priced new VC gasket and comtemplated buying a second keyless entry remote for my wife. Thought about that squeak in the belt upon startup for about a minute.

Oh the fun!

Well, for $19.99 + $5 for a 1-year replacement warranty, the grinder will work fine for me!
