Default Couple of questions..

First off, does anyone know how i can get caliper paint off my rotors? I tried paint thinner, but no luck.


Also, anyone got a write-up on how to clean intake filter and throttle bodys? Thanks!

You can get the K&N filter cleaning kit at Autozone or Advanced Auto and follow the directions. You should take the throttle body off to clean it with the same cleaner. Before taking the throttle body off, be sure you disconnect the battery.

for the rotors, try some fine steel wool and some acetone.

Methyl ethyl ketone is even better than acetone, just don't get it on paint you don't want to remove.
