    In 1990 I painted a van with Red with black accents in oil base outdoor paints. Masked it nice and did a couple black racing stripes on hood and line fade to the rear on sides. It came out AMAZING, that is for $30 worth of paint it was awesome. My friend is a professional /custom car painter airbrush artist. Whenever i would drive that thing over he would compliment me , then say, NAH just fckn with ya , its HORRIBLE WTH why didnt you call me?...I have base and clear epoxy by the gallon dude WTF dumbazz...and other nice things friends say when your a dork.

    Har precis löst detta på min S70 med B5254S. Rök ur oljesticksröret trots rengjord vevhusventilation. I mitt var var det plaströret/slangen som går från oljefällan till insugsslangen som var mer eller mindre täppt, märkte det först när jag bröt av den. Efter jag bytt till ny grövre slang kommer det ingen rök alls! Kan vara värt att kolla upp ifall du inte redan gjort 🙂
