Front and rear Hawk brake pads, oil change and transmission fluid in Royal Purple.. Will shine her up real good Thursday.

For anyone that hasn't.. The difference between stock tranny fluid and RP is like night and day. What felt like shifting through sand at times is now replaced by supreme smoothness.

 

Changed my tranny fluid to RP few months ago shifts like butter...

 

I plan on changing oil and diff/tranny fluid and air filter before then. I thought people were having problems with the RP for the tranny fluid?

 

Yeah I read and it is kinda back and forth between RP and RL... Have used RP products before and I have had great results. the difference in shifting was very noticable... been running it for 3000+ miles and no problems...

 

Got the oil changed today, motor mounts replaced, new brake pads, new wipers (since its apparently supposed to rain all freakin' weekend) and clay bar'd/waxed. That's about it..

 

Yeah frackin rainy season. I'm hoping that it wont rain in the hills on Sat and the roads will be dry, but very over cast and that there wont be bikers on the road.... A man can dream....

 

checked the weather this morning and they are saying 20% chance of rain Friday and Saturday... usually means none....

 

ok ... everyone do the rain rain go away dance.....

 

 

Yeah I saw that too, and it also said scattered showers, to its highly possible there wont be any rain... I just hope its enough to scare the bikers away

 

ahem.... i said EVERYONE

 

 

 

awww look mini dozers everywhere

 

 

lol you werent suppose to see that yet

 

I did the tranny oil change today with RL and got new kumho's last week. Made sure all my wiring and **** still works on my custom stuff, changed engine oil, thinking about polishing the exhaust. I noticed while waxing today that I had about 15 new chips in the front from driving in the rain on the freeway > Cleaned the rust off the painted calipers/hubs. Now all I need is a new air filter....Somebody told me they had one for like $20, but I can't remember who...



oh yeah

 

Ok so yeah im flushing the Tranny with RP, changing the oil with RP, maybe a tire rotation, possibly some wax action, polish the exhaust, try to level the headlights, and yeah thats about it. Keeping my baby ultra clean... mmm, I cant wait...

 

So I finally got around to getting the latest flash and got my motor mounts replaced (holy cow, world of difference), and guess what they pointed out? Seems I've snapped my RB rear sway. Looks like I'll be tossing my OEM one back on for the cruise.

 

how did that Brandon? RacingBeat sway bars are bigger, thicker and stronger than OEM right? How did this happen?
