| Dude that floor came out great! Did you clean it in place?
Try some Tuff Stuff with an upholstery cleaning scrub brush and some ripped T-shirts, that did wonders for the seats in my car when I got it. | |

| Wow, Billy! That looks GREAT! I think it's funny that I searched forever for that rear seat in grey while I had my impala but could never find it. And this car has the style upholstry I was looking for!!!!! (Would match front bonnies) | |

The floor mat came out nice.
I've lost more of those hub caps than the black Charger in Bullitt. | |

LOL! I started with windex, and then I broke out the tire cleaner, and sprayed the crap out of it. Then I mixed dawn, heavy duty truck wash, 409, and simple green, and washed the entire engine compartment with a mit. Then sprayed armor all and closed the hood. Stil not perfect, but a lot better. BTW. I emptied the vac today, and the amount of dirt filled a 5 gallon bucket 3" deep. That was from the int, trunk, and even under the hood and cowl. |

| Bill, I would be extremely careful using anything like armor all under the hood. Stuff like that contains silicone could ignite with enough heat. | |

| Was the original opti bad? Also, does the position of the dampner matter? Or only if you've found & marked TDC? | |

The original opti was fine. In fact it was not that old. But the cap and rotor were junk, and the opti harness was cracked. I had a couple optis that were questionable, and Crovo gave me one as well. The opti from the car turned out to be the best, but the cap and rotor from Crovo was better. The mitsubishi pick up from another along with the opti disc from yet another was used to build one good one. The fact is the only money I spent was a front cover kit that has every gasket, seal and o-ring needed, everything else was used parts. - sdstick wrote:

Or only if you've found & marked TDC? On the hub there is pointer seen in one valley between the bolt holes. There is a pointer on the dampner as well. Just line the two up. - toomanytoyz wrote:

It seems to run fine now. - toomanytoyz wrote:

| Sounds like a good deal. Opti for internet. Maybe it should be a nationwide movement like money for guns or cash for clunkers. | |
