  1. I feel like people don't really frequent the FS/FT section, so I'll offer up a discounted price ($43 shipped) for some great condition 2001 r50 fogs. They come with the hardware and plastic trim bezels. One light flooded in a river crossing after I ripped my stock bumper off; this didn't compromise anything, it just had a little interior bath & isn't fogged.

     

    I apologize if this isn't allowed, please delete if so.

     

    Hope everyone is having a great day! :handlebars:

  2. Remember also, Depending on where you get your gas. You may be getting up to 15% or more ethanol blend. Which ethanol is horrible for gas mileage. Check that out where you get your gas.

    As for finding non ethanol blended gasoline. Unless its the same price and close (dont have to drive 10miles to get it), you can try some. See if it makes a difference. But most non ethanol gas you will find is called "90 Rec". Usually sold by marina's for boats. I have 90 Rec available to me for free or cheap. I tried it out for 3 tanks worth. Didnt make a difference at all honestly.

     

    Oil wise. Mobil 1 5-30 HM fully synthetic is cheapest at Wal-Mart. ~$24 for a gallon/5qt jug. Plus they should have the Bosch filters there also which are good to run. Which the Bosch is slightly bigger than stock too. Dont run a Fram filter. Anything but Fram. I used to run Royal Purple in my LS1. But that was a street/strip car.

     

    Your 02 sensors. 4 of them, two before the main cats, two after. There are a second set of cats aft of the rear O2s. But having a shop remove them will probably NOT happen. As it's illegal. But it is possible usually with a cash only place *cough*cough*.

    /hijack: this thread has reminded me. I am due for a oil change,spark plug check and fuel filter change. Did the plugs about 50k ago. But did the standard NGK, not the OEM platinum. /end

     

     

    What's so bad about Fram filters?

     

  3. Anyone familiar with these tires? I'm looking to have them as my next set and was looking for feedback. They're comparable in price to my Geolandars and have a more aggressive tread pattern.

     

    • How do they wear?
    • Off road use? How are they?
    • Hold air?
    • Better than Yokohama's?
    • Effect my gas mileage any more?
