I think they call that “God’s car wash”.

You guys know there is this thing called weather forecast?

But there is this weird unexplained gravitational pull that happens when you wash your car.

I got no free time so I have to take what nature gives me.

I decided to stick a microphone inside of my PRL intake, and take the car for a drive! Ended up sounding way cooler than I expected!

what a great idea! This sounds cool as hell! This is the piped in sound we should have gotten.

Yep. It's stated in the manual!

I just rolled over 600 miles and opened her up for the first time. How long did you wait to do your first oil change? are you waiting for the car to tell you? I've heard several different opinions

I replaced the original engine at 1692 miles and had already completed an oil change around I think the 6-700 mark. On the new engine I pulled out the break-in oil around the 500 mark and went will full synthetic. I run 5w30 not 0w20.

Helped @Djseto install HEL performance lines, and bleed is brakes today! Here is the install video, and the proper way to bleed the brakes according to the factory service manual!

you need one of those auto fillers for the brake reservoir. Id be stressed having to manage bleeding and keeping the reservoir topped off lol

after doing this today with @PointByPatrol , I’d probably go with speed bleeders. I have them on my RX7 and it’s an easy one man job. Crack them a 1/4 turn, attach vinyl hose to a empty plastic water bottle and then just pump the brake 5-10 times, watch fluid, top off as needed, and close when done. Having to wait 5 min for the mity vac to suck the rear was slow. Also nice because you don’t need an air compressor.
