Hurst Injector Service (Fitchburg, MA 01420) Car went face down last Sunday due to fuel issue. Fuel tank got graph in it and ran it through the lines and got trash in the Injectors. I searched around and looked for places to send my Injectors. Not having much money I took the chance on using one of the cheapest services I could find. Granted it was still $42 it was the cheapest. I sent it off that monday priority mail. Wednesday I get a call about the Injectors. I told him [Paul] what he asked about the Injectors. He calls me the next day saying the Injectors were ready. He said the Injectors were FULL of rust and the primary was even stuck. He said it took all he could to get it unstuck but he got it. He also mentioned the extreme care he took because of how old the Injectors and plastic is as well as coating the Injectors to keep them from rusting or changing color. I Put the Injectors in the car and I'm very pleased to say that his great effort and many dips and sonic blasts cleaned the Injectors to where the car runs better than I've ever seen it run. This time it seems I got much more than I paid for. The man's name is Paul and it seems he enjoyed working on them too with his comment mentioning how amazed he was by the extraordinary spray pattern our Injectors are. His communication was great and takes pride in his own work as well as being just a good, pleasant guy. If you have to get your Injectors cleaned I HIGHLY recommend Paul at Hurst Injectors.

http://home.comcast.net/~Komeuppance/LedTails.jpg LOL... well, just the license plate lights are LED's. Required some minor rewiring. You can also see my new HID fog lights, not quite the beam pattern I hoped they'd be but they should perform well in foggy conditions on the mountain pass. Better get used to this view... har hAR HAR... -Robert

I have developed a quick way to deal with those ugly bumps in the leather seats. The bumps are caused by a strip of plastic (about 3/4 inch wide and the width of the seat. Over time, the plastic has had problems expanding and as a result, has become very wavey which is what the bumps are all about. So the solution is simply to take the plastic out. Then soften the leather up and over time, the leather evens itself out and the bumps significantly disappear over time. What I discovered is that the seam where the bumps are is NOT a seam that holds the leather together. The seam strictly holds the plastic to the leather seat. So you can remove the stitching and there is no damage done to the seat. So you need to get seam ripper and remove the stitching to free the plastic. The plastic does not go all the way to the edge of the seat which is very helpful to make the plastic removal easy. Once you have the seam out, you need to get the plastic out. I probably could remove the plastic without removing the seat, but I wouldn't recommend trying it on the first seat. So remove the seat. What you need to do is cut a slit in the foam seat bottom and get your fingers on the plastic strip (you can actually just poke your finger through the foam - that way you are guaranteed you won't cut the leather). If you have done a good job of removing the stitching, you should be able to pull that plastic out and you are done. Put the seat back and soften the leather with Lexol or your preference. As time goes on, the leather pulls the majority of the bumps out. It won't be perfect, but it looks a million times better and the bumps are not staring back at you. Obie
