Today I removed the inlet parts of the intake. Will see what difference it makes beyond sound/noise. The rubber tube from TB to MAF has become harder to remove. It used to be easy, now I have to pry and push with two hands. Don't want to use a flathead yet. There are a couple of reasons why I...

I was considering the CorkSport SRI for my CX-3 and have decided to hold off while I experiment with the stock box without inlet snorkel and resonator. Would have deleted this post but will edit it instead when I am ready to pursue further. 😁

It works well on wood puzzles too. I would color the bare sheets before brushing oil on. Update: During email exchanges over a recent UOA, it occurred to me that these puzzles/models are better off at an oil lab. 😁 Shipped the few intact ones off today. Also ordered two models that I haven't...

This piece of tree trunk has been out there for maybe decades. You can tell that the bottom is white-greyish.

Here's a new 2*4 on the left that has been left exposed for one year. The two pieces on the right have been kept inside. Both got one coat.

Eventually it will become dry to the touch, but when you rub on the surface, your fingers will catch dark/dust particles. Ok to sit when wearing dark colored, rugged pants. My wardrobe is now mostly black/brown because of how dirty I get on weekends. 😁 It was therapeutic to run the paint roller...

I like the color it adds to the wood. A friend once mixed diesel with oil from his truck and the color is dark-greyish. Have you noticed that used oil gets thicker after sitting in a jug? The 0w20 was very thin when drained and filled the round drain pan to 4+ quarts. After sitting in a closed...

Are you worried about scratch marks on the plastic/leather part of the center armrest from your dog in the backseat? A step up from a towel would be a piece of yoga/exercise mat (of a similar color). There are also dividers that hang from headrest posts to block access. https://a.co/d/e7ICPbr...

I have a few outdoor benches that I assembled two years ago and stained with used oil from one of my cars. After being exposed to the elements, the wood looks dry and thirsty. Yesterday they all got a coat of Royal Purple 0w20 with 6K miles from the CX-3. I wonder if the purple dye in the oil...
