    So I'm assuming that the car was destroyed at 7002 miles since you were videotaping and staring at your dashboard while doing 75 MPH?

    Started with the Led dome light dimmer module

    Fitted the dome light dimmer module for LED lights /parade mode unit from bitsyncmaster. My windows were fogging up this morning so I went ahead and did the Mode control switch that I had been putting off. Since I was behind the center console I aslo did the LED replacement bulbs and also the headlight switch bypass/relay from the Wings-Aloft crowd. A few more items knocked off the todo list.

    Forgot - Toggle swtich inline with drivers door switch

    I forgot, I also fitted a small toggle switch inline with the driver's door switch. This way if I run the car with the door open (think parade mode) then I can just reach down and flip a switch to disable that horrible buzzing sound.

    I did the same thing on my car. I hate that buzzling, so I can eaisly switch it off if my doors are open for any amount of time with the key in the ignition.

    Removed all traces of weatherstripping and adhesive from the T panel and driver's side quarter panel. California doesn't have naptha for sale (of course, it's useful so why sell it?) so it was just me, a bottle of goo gone and 100 of the crappiest razor blades Harbor Freight has to offer. Took about 4 hours but everything is nice and shiny and ready for the new seals coming this week, hopefully!

    Boss caught me in the CNC lab pressing in new pulley bearings for my AC. It was worth it.

    Tried to put on some rubber hosing on the torsion bars to stop rubbing when the doors are opened and closed. Passenger went on fine, but the driver's side is impossible.

    Can I use the butt of a screw driver to flex with leverage, so that there's enough room to slip it on? I'm scared of putting too much force and breaking it. Also, not sure if it would make a difference, it's winter here, so should I do this now or in summer?

    You should just need it in the areas where the hinges are. Mine was tight but I was able to get some thin wall rubber tubing (split length wise) around it and held on with tie-wraps.

    I think you will dent the stainless before budging the torsion bar with a screwdriver butt.

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"
