-7 spd, worth repeating

The CarMax warranty is awesome, check out Doug DeMuro and his Land Rover extended warranty through CarMax, its legit for sure

Thanks, It isn't final yet but if it looks and runs great in person I should get it :)
 
I hope K&N expands their line-up of cabin filters so I can get one for my car soon, hopefully by next spring

Sorry Klasse Act but needed to be fixing the handbrake on my Kia cee'd SW almost all of the day yesterday. So the time or the energy wasn't there to drive down to the town and look at the Mustang meet. This week when I get the extra brakelight for the back hatch it's to teer down that and switch to the new one. And also the positions lights is needed to be switched. Those things is what the yearly inspection was wrong at. And if not fixed until friday the car is not legal to drive anymore until I get it in to a recall inspection LOL. You have a month on you if the car don't pass the inspection. And I have been lazy LOL.

But they where driving home again from the meet today. So standing just outside of the altan and during a couple of minutes these passes through. Later on my nephew which is 3 years old and I sitting outside on the stairs to the altan and watched Mustangs driving by. He's into everything with an engine in it just like his uncle LOL. Here are how my view is :)

So the car has been sitting since Friday night all cleaned up and some additional free time was given to me this early afternoon so I'm sitting here thinking what do I spray on the car....Beadmaker, Hydrosilex, another coat of TWSS, nah....(light) coating time! Now I'm not going to post what I used but it's from a guy who shares his name with a popular paper towel company and resides where one of the greatest guitarist was born, a state where everything is BIGGER

Now it's not because I'm not happy with TWSS but you guys know me, I like to try new things and layer. Yes I know to get the most out of a product is to prep the surface and THEN apply it for the best bonding but we're going to see how this does for now. My car was washed 2 days ago with Ech2o @7:1. I followed the directions in his video, yes, he has a YouTube channel as well, very popular one. I did 2 spots on my cotton applicator for larger sections, working it in and then giving it atleast 3 minutes to flash. You can see the "rainbowing" effect going on here. Taking one of his plush towels to level it, I then grabbed his removal towel to buff to a final finish and man what a finish! My car looks like a blue raspberry Jolly Rancher now

Protection with 1 coat is said to be good for up to one year with proper maintenance but obviously I'm going to be applying boosters on it over time but I feel very good about this product and need to use it up as now it's only good till no later than August of 2020 once opened. I'm looking forward to observing water behavior and self cleaning abilities as well. It's also said to have filling properties but my paint is in really good shape so I can't comment on this feature personally but it's good if it infact does a little in this respect.

Hmmmm, tires still look good and I'm resisting a light topper coat, haven't applied anything to my tires since July 27th

something else in the works?

Maybe, but nothing planned. My son just wasn't into the Jeep. I really liked it and tried something different since I'm not a "Jeep" guy either but keeping it wasn't really the best move given I just sold a couple toys. With my son just a year away from college and my daughter following shortly after, I may take a few years off from what I really want so they don't come out of school in debt. It's the right thing to do. #familyfirst right?

That said, nothing says I won't find something fun but cost effective to enjoy in the mean time :) The great news is he has had a good learning experience about what he wants and I'm hoping whatever we end up with he's a part of picking it out and who knows....we may make a small trip to go get it too. Stay tuned!
 
Had some faults on my Kia cee'd SW on the yearly inspection. So have a month on you to fix it and that date is today LOL. The handbrake on the left side was not working at all. It's new parts since early spring this. So some detective work on what it could be. The moving part between the handbrake wire and the drum was stuck big time. Cause of the construction it gets really dirty on this moving part and is what's useally wrong with the handbrake. So got it moving and lubed up with high temp grease and cleaned. Then the semi auto-adjust is not so fun to dial in. After driven some and used the handbrake in a little higher speeds so it gets to brake great. It was weared in the drum and needed another wheels off adjustment puuh.

The third brake light which sitting on the highest point on the hatch was broken too. And of cause it's a LED and yeah expensive. If your newer car to you when you buy it. If any kind of visual damage as slightly cracks or they are foggy inside of the glass. Stand up on you so they buy a new one before you buying the car. Brake lights and the DRL in the front useally have LED lights on these. And if they sitting in where you have the headlights. The whole headlight is needed to be replaced and this useally cost much. So a heads up to save some if you are unlucky. No problem with replace this and just desamble the plastic interior parts. And when I got the first screw out I got water all over me that has been standing in the brake light LOL.

Know on to replace the parking light on both sides in the front. At one time I was considering to get it to the scrap yard and leave it there LOL. First the idi*t who replaced them last had crushed the both sides parking lights base with pliers. So that's why it's broke the lights and I got just pieces of small plastic bits of the base and just the electrical wires left. No spare parts if you don't buy the whole headlight so no thanks I DIY it LOL. Took off the headlights and bought a generic base to the light bulbs. Yeah so easy it was not LOL. Sawing some parts off the base. And how it sits inside where the headlight is was so tight and off it's place to reach easly. I doubted that I could fix it many times. Everything that could be going wrong seemed to be doing so. Took a long coffee break and calmed down LOL. Then at last I found a way to put it together so it's light there at least LOL. I need to be haveing a big drink tonight LOL.

My sister still borrows my car and I don't need it much. So if I can help her out I do. She took the Kia cee'd SW in for the recall inspection and it passed. Lucky me I guess and hope it don't gets much of new parts for some time now. But so lucky I don't useally are LOL.

When down to the autoparts store to buy the parking lights base. I saw they had gotten Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax in stock. It's been sold out for a long time here in Sweden. Was a little sale on it too.

Have an awesome weekend everyone!

Went to see Apocalypse Now: Final Cut - 40th Anniversary last night with one of my sons.
 
I bought new top end kits for my chevy 350. I was looking for the best top end kits and finally found reviews on (I shouldn't be posting links). These kits contain parts such as cylinder heads, intake manifolds, head bolts, camshaft, timing chain, gasket heads and more, depending upon which top end kit I choose. So convy!
 
^ looks great! that car never goes out of style, enjoy it for many years...
