    I should. But damn if it isn't buried. Maybe I can get to it from the cabin, but I don't think I could get my hand in there to change it.

    make an ad on CL looking for a midget to replace a fuel filter....make sure you specify it to be a chick and has to be willing to wear a bikini and that you videotape her changing the filter

    I think it would make it more interesting if people tried to find generation pics of their own vehicles.

  11. What are some good tires for the TA?

    in Tech and Tips

    Posted

    Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec (tirerack is the sole carrier)

    best street tire out there now...........short of the Yokohama Advan Neova AD08

    but the latter is more expensive and the difference in performance is marginal

     

    tons of grip in the Z1 and wet traction awesome.... I've been thru 3 sets already

  23. Secrets to cleaning up wheels?

    in Daily Ride

    Posted

    This is a lot less complicated than what people are making it out to be.

    I wouldn't expect any degreaser to work well for your application. Grease has a tendency to be slippery, and I'd expect brakecrud to made out of non-slippery things.

    You say that you have water spots on your wheels. Mind you, this will likely be noticed by no other human on the planet but you. Ever. It's part of the HD culture though, so don't sweat it. My suggestion is to use a minimal amount of cleaner that is designed to remove the hardwatercrud that causes the water spots. A dab of CLR or LimeAway ought to do the trick. I'm not a chemical engineer, but I'd immediately rinse and dry any spot of my precious that the CLR touched.

    Brakedust is a separate issue. It wipes away easily until it pits. Some people have mentioned wheel wax. Because wheel wax is... wax, it has a tendency to soften when exposed to heat, like the type of heat that something bolted to a brake rotor might experience. I think it's reasonable to expect molten wax on a wheel to catch crap like brake dust, so I would just forgo wax and let the hard clearcoat on the wheels do what it's supposed to do - provide a clear and hard protective barrier.

    I must respectfully diagree there..... you are right about wax in general but wheel wax is not like other waxes... Poorboy World's Wheel Sealant I linked to is made to protect up to 500 degrees F. That is why you use wheel wax on wheels and not simple wax....It is a product worth every penny. It also makes subsequent cleaning a breeze. Simply wash with water and soap. No hardcore wheel cleaners needed

    PS: Sonax Wheel Cleaner is ph-neutral as they claim but they say not to let it dry on your wheels. Process is spray, wait 1-2 minutes, then scrub and rinse.... DO NOT let it dry up....that stuff is worlds better than any other wheel cleaner I've tried (simple green, meguiars, etc etc).......it smells just as terrible as it works well (P.U.!!)
