I found a Dark Gray engine enamel while at Autozone today, I think I'm gonna paint my wheels that color.

He said it was most likely graphite wheel paint from advance.

Have my TWM (with M1 Abrams knob... engraved since the fianc is still learning stick, and poly bushings) coming in on Thursday, SRI sometime after that (going out of town Friday)

Got a CEL this morning driving to work, so going to Advanced to get that read to see if I have to take it in to the dealer for some warranty work (only mod so far is installing the subs and that shouldn't throw a CEL at all)

Put in work!

Strip, sand, sand, sand, sand, sand, primer, paint, clear.

I must be lucky. Only cel I've had was after sea foaming and I knew why that was on. Other than that I've never had a cel pop up.

I have the permanent cel mod.

 

[Lewis7789]

Probin, I see you're waiting to be boosted. Then you'll get your case of CEL's. heh-heh.

And the permanent CEL mod is the removal of the bulb, no?

I've only had two CEL's in my 3 years of owning my P5 with 122k miles on her. The first was was because I hit a pothole so hard it popped a fuse block out of the tray next to the strut tower. And the second was after I removed mt VTCS butterflies I didn't tighten the intake mani down enough. Other than that, my P5 purrs like and kitten, run really well and still pulls pretty hard. Though still slow.
