    PACE PERFORMANCE OR CRAZY PAUL. If you order from RockAuto something that one of those two guys sells, I'll ban you myself.

    Hahaha I've rebadged my whole car through Crazy Paul. If I don't feel like doing it till after vacation ill order from them. Mobil 1 European Car formula is probably there best quality oil. I thought most people were using it?? I'll never use Royal purple again. $80 oil change and had a lifter go bad a couple weeks after changing to it. Maybe just bad luck but I don't want to find out.

    Yep, I've researched to find it's a great quality oil, but never quite got the viscosity thing and when it's safe to vary from the manufacturer recommendation. That said, I've just stuck with Penz Plat 5w30. No way I'd run RP... it's so odd there are a ton of people who swear by it, but then again there are PLENTY of horror stories as well, which for such a big company is odd. Most of the ones with loyal followings have pretty bullet proof reputations.

    Got an ABS fault today. I was hoping it would go away before I got home but it didn't. When I did get home I put it on ramps and wiggled all the wheel speed sensors and it finally went away. Checked it with a Genisys scan tool afterwards and it had a C0045 code stored in the history. Left rear wheel speed sensor circuit.

    Finally got around to finishing up some LED mirror covers. Wiring these into the side markers takes some time to do right, but turned out nicely. The LED strip fades pretty well with the PBM. Thoughts?

    That actually looks really good. Looks factory.
