I know a mechanic who recommends it for all sorts of problems. I used it once
and I noticed no difference in the problem. It does cost $77 so I did stimulate
the economy.

Since brand new. I learned about it from a cross country trucking neighbor 
way back in '58 and to this day it's still my 'secret sauce' for 'fixing' 
folk's various car, lawn mower, weed eater, etc. poor-to-'broken' 
performance.

I was rather surprised though that it 'repaired' the 2000 Toyota Tundra V6 I 
bought from CarMax back in 2006. Last year it failed the smog test with 
Autozone's testing claiming a new front o2 sensor was required, though it 
seemed to be running fine. Anyway, long, frustrating, quality time 
consuming, relatively expensive education cut short, all I needed to do was 
clean the existing air mass flow sensor with Sea Foam spray, making all the 
new parts except the sparkplugs I bought/removed just a bunch of expensive 
replacements I may never need now since it was so low mileage when I bought 
it and have put so few miles/year on it since.

A [now] major upside is I concluded that apparently CarMax didn't do all 
they claim they do WRT making sure the vehicle's relative mechanical health 
is tip-top and now that I'm satisfied that it is, gas mileage has been 
several miles/gallon [mostly short, stoplight intensive trips] better than 
the EPA highway rating in some part due to it no longer 'hunting' back n' 
forth between high and overdrive when climbing Hotlanta's many long, 
undulating highways and byways.

The only downside I'm aware of is that using the dictum of 'if some is good, 
more is better' can convert a neglected motor into an oil fogger as it can 
strip out every ounce of sludge that's holding it together. Might as well do 
the old mineral spirits or diesel fuel cleansing and save the $$$.

Poured into similar condition gas tanks whether in or out of the vehicle, be 
prepared to clean and/or replace filters, or carburetors if there's no 
in-line fine filter to keep it running for any length of time and why I like 
the clear ones for easy monitoring during initial use, i.e. IME it's not 
necessarily a 'pour and forget' chemical like the typically super diluted 
gas additives unless you're starting with a basically clean, 'healthy' 
system.

With late model smog motored 2 strokes in particular, I have to use a folded 
up panty hose filter on the gas can since there's apparently enough 
contaminants/'additives'? in either the oil/gas/both? that Sea Foam reacts 
to, usually rapidly clogging the carburetor's extremely fine filter with a 
fine foam, for lack of a better description.

Will other products do just as well and/or be better bang/buck? Don't have a 
clue as I've never been one to 'mess with success'. As always though, YMMV.

GM

Hey fellow gullwing drivers, I've got some Bricklin parts that I would like to
offer up. I've got
-a pair of door skeletons (skin gone on driver, skin cracked bad on
passenger),
-four door hinges,
-a pair of bumpers (front and rear with air tank),
-four bumper struts, left and right front fenders (originally orange, painted
red),
-a dash/crash pad in fairly good shape (minor cracking around vin plate area)
-a complete lower dash in good shape (radio hole not hacked)
-a complete guage cluster with guages and wiring harness
-a passenger side tail light assembly with bucket and lens (lens has small
cracks on reverse light screw hole)
-battery box cover
-coolant tank
-a pair of door mirrors
-a headlight pop-up cover
-1 door switch
-driver side rear quarter glass
-a rear hatch, no glass
-other odds and ends, just ask I may have it.

That's the bulk of what I've got. I can't list all the little bobbles and
trinkets so let me know if you need something and I'll sort through the pile.

If you'd like to work out a deal on any of this stuff, email me at
DeLoreanSS at aol.com. My name is John.

Looks, like you cleaned out the car in the junk yard in Knoxville, TN.  Does 
not look like you left to much there.

Hey guys,

I thought I'd let everyone know that I just heard that Kim Madesn 
passed away last Sunday (22 may 2011) night
from cancer.

That's about all I've heard so far.

 Has anyone tried the new design air headlight system that Terry Tanner is
selling? Any comments on how well it works or how much work it is to install?
