Perhaps, but I would be in the camp that this is overthinking it. I change my fluid often enough that worrying about old oil is never an issue.
Second leaving the car out in the sun with the top stretched closed. New tops are very tight and the open/close procedure is affected slightly....
Although there might be some fading, there are various shades of yellow used over the years so the old ones were not necessarily faded out. I...
I don't think anybody here uses air to evacuate the last bit of transaxle fluid unless it was especially dirty. Regular changes negate any benefit...
I think you can get an original print from your local dealership. Someone mentioned that once.
Depends. Is it a super low mileage collector? If so, probably $10
Congrats! Perfect combo for your first :) you’ll find it’s an easy car to own, especially if you’re used to servicing Porsches and BMWs :D
Good looking wheels! :D

Order of operations for first time bumper removal: 1. Remove bumper 2. Unplug washer fluid line 3. Panic and struggle to immediately plug washer...

If you have valves, plug those in. If not, cap off both.
Took the car to work today so I had a chance to test out the exhaust mod. I think this is what turns the Kline exhaust from good to great. I have...
Nice! We can do side by side throttle blips.
I feel like this question gets asked about twice a year. From the many threads I've been able to find, everyone has said to rest the tabs on the...
Got mine as well! Probably a weekend job if I can hide away for a few hours from the family :D
The F430 is painted as well, although not a glossy finish, but I don't recall anybody having issues with those. If it were me, I'd leave them...
