Turbo. Blue.
Got another +10hp with this k&n air filter, for my cabin. Figured I'd try it out since it's washable and reusable. I'd rather do that than replace it with a new one every year.

I don't know if it'll actually add more HP, but it should certainly make your cars idle smoother and increase throttle response 🤣

Torn between putting my stock springs back on or my VWR lowering springs. As dumb as it sounds, even though I'm probably trading it in soon, I just don't want to drive around at stock height lol. It just looks dumb as hell to me.

I had my RSe10's powdercoated after the finish started peeling. Prismatic Lazer Platinum. It's a dark metallic grey, which is a few shades darker than Dark Iron Blue, but not deep black.
How 'bout a photo on the car?

Treated all of my seals with Sonax Gummi, sprayed the felt seals with a dry teflon lube.
That'll get me through winter.

Installed a "stealth hitch" on Jerry yesterday. Very solid setup. Got the mechanical part done in no time but the electrical took a while as I routed all the wiring very carefully since it's a permanent installation.

Put some fully working lights on the cargo basket. Just waiting on some adhesive wire holders so I can hide the wiring better.

How’d you do the wiring for the lights? I assume you connected it to the brake lights?

The kit from stealth hitches comes with a separate controller for the trailer lights which is powered on it's own. I had to run a wire from the hatch area to the battery.

The controller only uses the signals to the rear lights from the car itself as to not interfere with their function. I just had to splice into the turn signal wiring for the right and left side along with the marker light wiring.

The kit came with some terrible "clip-on" wire connectors for splicing....I used weather seal butt connectors instead.
