Apparently the forum moderation team aren't willing to cooperate and I don't have an update for you on this topic simply because other matters have taken over the build. The van has bene running...
Last week I sent a message to the new site admin/host asking where is Mike. He later informed me that mike left the autogeek forum site and headed over to another company site. Now while mike was...
@DFB There's always someone out there that's jealous of what you have and attempt to see that good things never last that long. We always have some idiot scratch the side of all our vehicle at some...
According to the UPS tracking the carbon fiber fabric should arrive later this evening. Then I'll remove one of the smaller panels and start in. it's a shame that these panels are too dense to use a...
I've been pleased with what I'm getting while using either Jet Black or Ice Blue. The trouble is I'm not able to figure out which is better as they are both good products.

Finished Cleaning the Last of Winter road salts & chemicals off the van today. This is our 2020 Ford Transit Connect 2.0L XL cargo with 22,768 miles.
Many of you may know of my Covercraft review and that I've had to redesign their crappy dash mat to suit our 2020 Ford Transit Connect. I've wanted to stay here at the forum a bit longer and add a...
@chilly Ironically, I taught my wife how to wire wrap gemstones, jewelry. It helps that both of us view cars the same way. when we first met I was driving a 70 Chevelle and she was driving a 78 Z28....
@Chilly there's been a stain of sun screen on the Connect's passenger side door since last summer. See me worried about it?. nor should you. If you wanted a collector car, then don't drive it or let...
@Epilogts these Nitto 215/50/17 tires have a max inflate of 50 psi. It's a struggle to keep them at 48 psi.. so yes I've tried to keep and maintain these tires and it's not working. Even Nitto...
@vobro this issue right now it that these Nitto 215/50/17 load index 95 tires are crap so I need something better with a load index at or above 98. then having to compromise the size with the load...
It's my impression that a load rating is similar to a load index but with different sets of letters/numbers. For instance a load rating uses letters while a load index uses numbers. But both have...
One reason, is that Discount Tire Is NOT wiling to sell me a set of tires that do not meet or exceed the load index of our factory tires. In this case, the load index on the van with...
never had any trouble with using the goof off products on the van even when there was a small amount of orange overspray on the side panel. came right off.
@SNP209 I'll be going from a 17x7.5 ET38 Voxx wheel to a 18x7.5 ET40 2Crave N26 wheel. These will be custom drilled by the manufacture to my bolt patter/specs of 5x108 M14. In a couple of weeks once...
Appreciate the image. tell me, what's the load rating of your federal tires? I'm restricted to what type of tires I can have mounted on the 18x7.5 because of the load rating or that Discount tire...
In a few weeks we'll be heading up to PA to finally have the power coater coat that spare balloon wheel for us and once completed, we're off to Discount Tire, which will be a drive of more than 3...
So as we all know by now, I made (CariD's salesman Made a mistake) of selling us a set of the Voxx 17 x 7.5 wheels w/ 215/50/17 Nitto tires. But once this combination was mounted on the van, we're...
Thanks! glad you disapprove and that was my intention to make it look horrible. I may never have to polish or shine the van again. Looks like crap, but the ceramic coated 18'' wheels will shine.
...
The weather just hasn't been cooperating. I was suppose to have attempted ,my first coat on at least on caliper this weekend, and without a shop I'm not going to be able to do this.. yet....
I'm actually looking forward to removing the clear coat from our van all in preparation to have the van repainted. Currently its a dark blue color with a slight hint of purple which we don't like....
