stinky FC
 
i just got my fc a few days ago and noticed it smelled a lil.. well, old. i don't mind. i can take it. it's just the girls. they can't stand it.( i know, i know... my FC is more important)

but anyways, i put a cup of baking soda AND a cup of vinegar(NOT mixed together, lol) and will leave it in there for like 2 days while i wait for my plates. so the real question is, since i wasn't a whiz in my chemestry class, can i leave it in there for 2 days while being in 90 degree weather? and the car is black.

i really need a QUICK answer as to not potentialy blowup my car:D

Have you actually tried to clean it. I mean shampoo the carpeting and seat cloth? Might work wonders. Headliner and plastics also trap odors, give them a wash too.

Occasionall the A/C condenser drain will plug up and you end up with a musty moldy odor. Really sinks. Find the drain hose and flush it with a vinegar/H20 solution. Rinse with water.

i forgot about the headliner/plastic stuff. with school an work i really haven't had the time to thoroughly clean it yet, but i will as soon as i get the chance.

but is it ok to leave that stuff in there?

ha!, no really guys.. i don't want my 7 to blowup.. i don't think it can, but with those temp's you never know.

why risk it. Just take the containers out and use some fabreez or something.

Shampooing the interior will definately work wonders. After cleaning it up with a wet-vac, take a look inside the resevoir, you'll be mortified :eek: .

A good cleaning should help. My parts car I bought smelled incredibly terrible inside, but then again I also found over $4 is misc. change too.

Sir Rupert Hobo 09-09-03 09:03 PM

funny thing doty, i found some change too.. i guess i shouldn't risk it.

NEXT/FIRST MOD: rejuvenate the interior.

thanks guys

BTW
 
while we are on the subject of interiors, how do i get my tilt steering wheel to stay in the position i want it to be in? like i adjust it, and the wheel still moves/tilts, even when the lever is not in use. WTF?
