You're doing a beautiful job detailing. I bought a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire with 82000 miles off of a 87 year old lady. I'm going completely over it and replacing whatever it needs. It's a challenge keeping it all original.

Check the rust on the cross member under the radiator where it joins the chassis . It's one of the most common failures on the chassis and will stop an annual inspection being granted .

Fortunately that cross member is mint, barely any surface rust on it! 👍 However the rockers/sills are pretty rusted on some places :/

Like the way the most fancy and clean thing in the engine bay was the Borsch S4 battery. It is normally advised to wrap the alternator and ecu in a bag before jet washing. Your car managed it...

I painted my valve cover recently (turquoise) as the gasket was leaking and i wanted to do it anyway, and i tell you, a bit of cleaning and a freshly painted cover go a long way to make this car engine bay look good. I also painted the exhaust manifold cover in black and gave the whole thing a thorough cleaning, and it does lok very very good.

Wax is there to prevent rust at panel joints and part that are known to rust easy, and on electrics to prevent moisture to contacts. Lots of old cars have wax between panels, to prevent rust between two sgeets of metal, like hoods, doors etc.

Thank you for your comment! Honestly oem style rubber brake hoses are completely fine for 99% of situations. Many high performance sports cars comes with rubber hoses from factory and they work perfectly good on track. However, steel braided can give you a better feel and better pedal feedback, but good quality fresh oem hoses are rarely the week point in a braking system. 👍

日本国内向け仕様とヨーロッパ向け仕様でかなり違いがあるのが分かる。日本国内向けだと2000年型でもディストリビューター点火だがこのモデルはダイレクトイグニッションになってるし、ついてる補機類も日本仕様とヨーロッパ仕様でずいぶん違う。今後、日本から中古車で輸入されてくるK11があるだろうが、同じ右ハンドル車といってもUK向けマイクラと日本向けマーチで結構別モノだということは覚えておいた方がいいかもしれない。 You can see that the Nissan Micra is quite different between the Japanese domestic specification and the European specification. For the Japanese market, the 2000 model also has a distributor ignition, but this model has a direct ignition, and the auxiliary equipment that is attached is very different between the Japanese specification and the European specification. Regarding the right-hand drive K11 Micra that will be imported from Japan as a used car in the future, be aware that there are big differences in various parts between the Micra for the UK and the March for Japan, even though it is a right-hand drive model. want.

Hi, EJO. I enjoyed the video very much. Regarding the heat shield for the exhaust, would you also consider using a penetrating oil on the three bolts? The popular penetrating oil that has the long red straw is what I have. I intend to bend the straw around the back of the shield in order to try to spray the bolt, and do what I can to hit the bolt head from the outside too. And let it soak for 24 hours. Just so I can avoid drilling out the bolt if it has rusted badly. I guess the exhaust manifold will smoke and smell bad for a while - but wouldn't it eventually burn off and not be a factor? Do you still remember the size of the bolt you replaced, by chance? I'm doing something similar. With the same mindset actually. I did an AC delete and moved the alternator. The brackets for the ALT were very rusty and I sanded and painted them - came out great. Thanks in advance.

Really cool video! Ne careful with stainless steel hardware. Never mix stainless steel with aluminum. That’s going to cause heavy corrosion (galvanic corrosion) and discoloration of the stainless steel. I don’t know what the block and the heat shield is made of, but beware :)

@ejoautovideos 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! 😊 Yes, you should be mindful when mixing dissimilar metals. I've actually studied the field of material science (and a little bit of chemistry). Heres my take on it: First of all, for galvanic corrosion to occur there must be dissimilar metals AND an electrolyte. This car wont see winter time and will be used in good conditions during the summer. The top of the engine is also relatively isolated from the elements. The reason people say you should not mix stainless with aluminium compared to steel/alu is because regular steel bolts has a zink coating. Zink/Alu is not as reactive as un-coated stainless and aluminium. However, if that zink coating is comprimised, it's just as bad, if not worse than a SS/Alu combo. Lastly, i coated the stainless hardware with an anti-seize which should prevent galvanic corrosion, even in the present of an electrolyte (salty water). The manifold is made out of cast iron, the heat shield is made out of something that can rust at least. 🤣 Sorry for the long text, and I really don't want to come across as smug or anything... Just wanted to share my thoughts/knowledge on it and explain why I thought it would be best to replace some of that hardware with SS. 😊👍
