I didn't have high expectations for this thread, but it really looks pretty good. Nice job. __________________ ~Dave~

Got a little oil spill on the engine. The bastard who changed it couldn't careless that it was a Bimmer. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

And it connects to a flip switch that looks like the purge switch for NOS on Fast and Furious. I put on 1 of the blanks next to the ASC button.  __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

Otherwise I would've done it myself. He didn't wipe it up. I didn't bother looking at it until a few weeks later. By then, the oil hardened up. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

that sucks then, where I work, we always at least wipe the oil up with a rag when we spill it on the engine, did it spill on a painted part? | | | | | 11-12-2008, 04:26 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |

And I didn't notice it until I started to. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

You get what you paid for.  That's why i like doing my own oil change. Aren't you worried that the piant may come off because of the heat of the engine? | | | | | 11-12-2008, 05:36 AM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |

Though, I might go out and buy a sealant just to be safe. But I think dupi-color high performance is for engine components. It's says right on the can "paint automotive accessories". I read the fine print on the back, and it doesn't say anything about temperature. That being said, my dad has a few cans of regular dupi-color paint. On the back of them, it says not to use on anything that exceeds 200 degrees. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

Here's the switch. I'll get around to cleaning up the super glue mess when I feel like it. I don't think any civics wanna race me after see that switch. Btw, my friend with the mustang always called me "tokyo", short for tokyo drift. I use to do dumb stunts all the time with my ricer sentra (cause it was a cheap car to begin with, and repairs were even cheaper.). Take a look at my gallery, with the album of my sentra. I no longer have it though. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt
