      Rust free rotors?

      By GnatGoSplat · Posted

      Don't know how important this was to the corrosion resistance, but I forgot to mention I primed mine with Rustoleum Cold Galvanizing Compound spray.  It worked surprisingly well as a primer on bare metal.  It never chipped, flaked, or peeled.  I don't know if it's the same formula today as the one I used a couple decades ago.  Photos looks like it's now a smooth gray primer appearance, but mine was a very sparkly shiny bright metallic silver color.  Almost looked like fine very fine glitter.  Still have the can and looks like it's the same can as the current product though, so who knows.

      When I did brakes on my truck, I used black caliper paint, just to protect the calipers, center of rotors, and the rear drums. It's held up fine. Anything driven up here in the salt, the brakes usually start looking bad after just a year.

      You get it, you have those rims that visually open up the brake/suspension components much like the rims I have. When the rims and tires look good the rusty looking parts stand out. All the replacement parts for our 1st gens almost immediately flash rust out of the box and most 1st gen rims are mesh or solid so it never mattered, until 2026 when these are the "newest" classic antiques.  I`m not trying to build a show car but something resembling a higher optioned factory 1 off that might show up at a show or randomly in traffic because the MPGs on a 3100.

      Sunroof help again.

      By Jscott · Posted

      Ok I tried the new relay and tried a different switch. Is it possible that my sunroof is only set up to tilt? I ask this because there is no effort to even try to open fully from the motor. Could the motor be bad? Or are there clips on the track that need to be removed? I just don’t get it.

      New Engine - Sputtering On Acceleration

      By Black92GS · Posted

      Wrong plugs altogether? Or correct plugs but gapped incorrectly? OEM plugs were always a requirement for these cars, and even 20 years ago, we had quite a few bad running engine posts where the fix was "replaced plugs with OEM".   I've seen these things run nearly flawless on heavily worn OEM plugs with gaps closer to the 0.090" range...so I'm not sure the gap alone was the main issue.
