Trying out the Llumar Air on the windshield to see if that helps with heat rejection. The car has to be parked outside and the Florida sun can be brutal.
Good choice on the IRX film!

I'm running Llumar 50% on the windshield and would highly recommend it to complete the cooling effect. My main reason for doing it was UV protection.

I didn't do it today :P But over the past few weeks!

New Rotors / Pads for everything!
Replaced Fogs / Low / High / Side Marker Lights.
Cleaned all the rubber, and reconditioned it with Auto Glym.
Put in new NGK Spark Plugs
Cleaned Engine Bay
Replaced a lot of broken clips I've found during cleaning/installing new things.

Put on new wheels and new tires. Two months waiting for these wheels while they kept trying to sell me something "in stock". I didnt want something "in stock", I wanted THESE wheels.

All installed

Looks good! How much did it cost you, other than the wait?

$1200 total for wheels and tires from "MrWheelDeal". Thats $300 a corner! Great price. The installation was by my own mechanic so was free.

Pretty cool looking wheels there Jim. I don't believe that I've ever seen those before.

I really hate this CL message format. I have several other message lists I belong to and NONE use this software. And none have the proiblems I have when trying to scroll the list and a blank page comes down from the top and blanks out everything. I have to reboot every time. It sucks big time.

Now to the subject at hand. These are the Versus Racing VS626. It took me two weeks of searching web pages and catalogs to find them. then two months on back order They are the best simulated wires I could find. I feel this car screams for wires but I didnt want the maintenance problems of real wires and Dayton wants $800 a wheel for real wires!!! These were only $155 each, shipped, I wanted them with bare metal centers but they only came in black. They offered to make me a set in silver (unfinished) for $150 each. In other words $600 to have someone pick up a set off the production line before the paint booth and then set them back on the line after the paint booth. Outr4eageous.

Jim I tried doing what your PM suggested and nothing. I can scroll both up and down without any issues so I don't know what to tell you?

perhaps its some kind of pop up advertisement…very odd.
maybe Jim can make a video clip of it happening or post some pics.
I wonder if it only happens on a PC…would an iPad or tablet work better?
just a thought.

Jim, I am sorry to hear about your shoulder injury :-(
may you recover quickly sir.
