    Black Ty Bellevue, WA

    Just spotted a black one with a lower intercooler scoop. Driving on 148th near eastgate. Seen it a couple times so I assume he lives around there. Very clean, wish my Ty was running so I could be out there.

    was running great last night. not today

    Last night got the ty back from a shop who tuned it. It ran harder than it ever has. then I let it rest for the night. Got in this morning and it was stumbling, hesitating, and idle was real bad. It even died on me just idling. Anyhow the codes I pulled were 21, 31, 34. Where do I start...

    survey of zaino

    ok survey 1) how many coats of Z-3 (z-2) and Z-5 do you put on. 2) how long do you wait till you take it off. 3) how often do you re-polish your sy/ty. (1-time a year, 2-times, every month) which (z-3/z-5) actually protects your car? thanks!
