• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    The only finger tool my local auto parts place won't bend enough to get into the area where the piece of wood is. And the fingers have a bend that I would n't be able to remove the tool from the sparkplug hole even when in line with the piece of wood.

    I scuttled that option when I tried to float the piece to the spakplug hole by filling the cylinder with oil. Didn't work but now the wood is soaked in oil and probably nothing will stick to it.
