I bought a 7 year old/80k mi Michigan CRV in 2011. Once I had it home I got underneath for an initial inspection. Pretty rusty, surface wise. I sprayed it with CorrosionX once or twice a year until I sold it in 2017. In that time the rust advanced, but far far far more slowly than it would have...

+1 others; no immediate risk, could go forever with that condition (or plug up). I'll add a rec for a vigorous Italian tune up. Fully warm engine, run to redline in the first three gears, repeat as desired.

I've had a string of Petzl AAA units over the last 20 years or so, until I found the BudgetLightForum and fell into the rabbit hole. Now I have and use regularly a Skilhunt H03 while the Petzls sit in a drawer until someone needs a loaner. The Skilhunt is cheap and tough and does what I need...

Or some wraps of stainless safety wire.

Sure, you bet.

Ebay or one of the vintage BMX-specific forums.

Completely empathize, you and me both. My goals for '21 are simply stated: manage the challenges, stay positive, and make forward progress. Probably will spend a fair amount of time with my head down wondering wth.

One of the reasons I use CorrosionX; it's chemically more attracted to the metal than the water, so it'll stay next to the metal with any water on top of the CX. Won't stay on in a slipstream, but in the door, no issue, and it'll also creep into any voids in the bottom weld seam which IMO is...

Low $2.xx for 93 octane at Costco here in SE MI.

IMO the answer is always Victor; bought all mine off Ebay.

Walnut oil is what I use on my wood-handled knives; it's a hardening oil like Tung or boiled Linseed.

Props for not getting rattled, OP; glad you're ok. I've noticed that the *****ead quotient has gone way up online since Covid. 6 cyl NA Cayman would be my vote, probably with PDK. ETA: the censored bit is the colloquial word for the tip of your junk; rhymes with dikhed.

Not sure if your inquiry is Subaru-specific, but since you labeled it a "general topic..." I put a JDM-exclusive K20a and associated 6 speed manual (from the early aughties Civic R) into our 2005 Civic SI hatch. Pros: Way better engine than stock; *way* (+60HP). 8600 RPM redline. 6-speed w/...

This. My cars always drive 'funny' for a bit after a rotation.

Given that you're replacing it I would tear into the dead one to see how best to disassemble the good one.

Can confirm, audit forms have a line-item check for materials with expiration dates. (Source: am auditor, engineer)

2011 Acura RDX, ~102k, uses no oil over a 10k interval. 2005 Honda Civic SI w/ JDM K20a from EP3 Civic R*: 1 qt/1000-1500mi. *8600 RPM factory redline and close-ratio 6 speed; spins ~4200rpm at 80mph.

FWIW I routinely wrap teflon tape around the bleeders. Makes a little mess when you take it out but once back in there's no worry about it sucking air.

In maybe '15 I had a girlfriend who needed tires for her AWD Honda Element and I convinced her to get the Nokian WR SUV; I don't recall the number. Before those tires wore out she replaced the Element with an AWD '15 RDX that was still riding on the OEM tires. She drove those for less than a...

If there are hollow members in the trailer I'd use CorrosionX there for sure as it will flow out and cover the interior surface of the tube better than the lanolin products IME. Also IME it's not great for any place that's right in the windstream; IIRC even the Heavy Duty won't stay on places...
