A performance car has modifications but no clear tune documentation. I have time to clarify this before committing. What should a complete set of paperwork sho…
The car stays dry in normal rain but after a long storm one front footwell gets damp. Door seal looks okay. What drain/seam tests would you do before tearing t…
