I just had about 100ml of beer spill onto the backseat of my car, I soaked up ~50% of it with a towel and then sat another dry towel over the wet patch to try suck up some more of it. What products can I use to get at this in the morning? Right now i'm off to bed cos ive had about 5 hours sleep since thursday.

Still against the law to have open alcohol in the car while it's driving, even if it's a passenger. But seriously, how many of us still allow it. I know I do and I have never drunk drove in my life.

Try the Metho trick dude. The worst part about spilt beer is the smell after a while.

Haha yeah true. I have even been pulled over a few times with passengers that have opened alcohol and the police didnt mind as long as I'm sober.

Do I just pour some metho onto my back seat and leave it? Or should I dab at it with a clothe or something, I'll be trying it tomorrow. Today the car didnt smell to bad and you could only smell a faint beer smell if you sat in he backseat

idiot brother left a full stubbie on the rear footwell after they were predrinkin b4 goin in to a club. didnt bother to tell me. when i went to get the car at the end of the night, beer went every where. that is one of the worst smells imo. had to get it steam cleaned

Just soak some rag with methylated spirits and dab the area. It'll evaporate anyway and with no stain and even less smell.

It wasnt me that was drinking. My asian friend decided his beer would be ok if he sat it down upright while I took a roundabout. That was his only his third beer as well and he's a big guy about 95kgs. asians cant drink

if it was a white guy i could help you, but asian beer stains are a different matter...

see if you can use a carpet cleaner. might be able to rent one somewhere.

I wouldnt go near one of those things. They are SHIT. I have 10 yrs carpet cleaning experience so I know.

Ring a carpet cleaner if your really keen to get it super clean. Most carpet cleaners hate doing cars so be nice and pull the seats out for him. If they try to charge you more then $100 to do both fronts and the back tell em to get f**ked. and make sure they use the hot water extraction method, not some half arsed dry cleaning bullshit. this goes for your carpets too.

If your in brisbane or gold coast PM me.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
