    • @mikejohnson5345
      @mikejohnson5345 Год назад

      The vinyl decals I used also had an adhesive backing. The soapy water just allows you to be a little more forgiving if you need to move it. This not a necessary step. Until you squeegee the water , the decal can be moved easier.

      Really depends on the quality of the vinyl and the environment. I have had vinyl decals on car windows and on car bodies for 7 years with no problems. That is through 100 degree summers and negative degree winters as well as going through car washes.

    • @mikejohnson5345
      @mikejohnson5345 4 года назад

      To get them equal, I did several measurements and marked the inside stripe edge with tape. I taped one stripe where I liked the look and then measured the other side to match it. I measured from the side hood chrome. Measured from the wiper hood sprayers. Measured from the center hood badge and finally from the side of the chrome of the grille.

    Nice vid and thank you, I just got my ALTA bar installed yesterday. Do you have some squeaks/ creaking while going over bumps like me? Not sure if the new poly bushing are just so stiff that they are loud or maybe the rear of the car is so stiff now that the flex of the chassis is making something in the trunk area to squeak or rub when flexed. I did grease the bushings correctly and some people say that he stiff rear sway bars are going to be noisy. Just trying to get a second opinion. Thank you

    • @mikejohnson5345
      @mikejohnson5345 4 года назад

      A stiffer bar will make a little more noise than stock. Alta says to make sure to grease the inside and outside of the bushing. You can always grease the inside of the metal brackets as well. This was the third Alta bar I have installed and I have never had any issues with excessive noise.

      Might be something with that. I have never ran the car on a dyno. Any improvement in HP would really small. If you are wanting more HP, a WRX or Sti is what you want. These cars just are not made to have massive amounts of power.

      @mikejohnson5345 5 лет назад

      Update really hasn’t changed. I get worse gas mileage than stock with the front lights and roof rack, but the eco-block seems to have leveled me back to where I originally started. These cars are not fast, but the throttle response seems better and the car seems to be a little peppier than stock. Not enough noticeable difference to pay for a dyno test for horsepower. This car is my daily, and I have not made many upgrades to performance except the eco-block, a K&N air filter and removing the charcoal filter. In subarus, if you want more power and speed with a crosstrek or Impreza, you might be better off spending a bit more for a WRX.

When I did check my car (2006 Wingroad nissan) it already has a raised rubber portion where the MAD sensor sits and this car gets really God has mileage already. So it looks like this will work. Buy my car came with it from the manufacturer. It shows you what these car makers know buy they keep from us. You should definitely get one for your car if it isn't like mine. God bless friend.
