    Optima battery advice

    Tiepilot, A lot of people think these are gel cells, I wanted to point out that it isn't. It's still a lead acid battery. In the matter of leakage, this is where it does matter since acid reacts quickly. In relation to guarantees, you have to be careful of the wording. In my short time working...

    chrome tube filters?

    Think about it. The IAT adjusts fuel (and timing?) parameters based on what it senses is the air temperature.

    GTS cargo covers

    No doubt, therre is a noticeable difference when listening to music with the cover on. The lows are okay, a bit muted, but the rest of the frequency range is really muted.

    What are the benefits of installing Half Shaft Loops

    License Frame Bracket
