Undercoatings are controversial. the car already has an under coating of sorts that is there to prevent damage from debris and stones that would then rust the sheet metal. If you undercoat over existing rust spots it could actually trap in moisture and cause more rust.

Real conservative driving on the summer tires.

Its starting to itch at me too, thats for sure. I miss my s2k pretty bad right about now. I miss driving standard in general actually, automatic is boring. Im actually gonna try to buy a 4dr 5 speed as a daily driver.

What kind of undercoat you doing to your car? Oil spray, or paint?
that rubberized undercoating...same stuff that comes from the factory I just want to make sure everything's covered well...esp the wheel wells they take a beating in the rain...I got a 99 jeep cherokee as a daily for the winter

I should clarify I guess...I want to check for any rust and if there is any I will be a using a wire brush wheel to polish it off and undercoat over the clean surface then, I'm a bit of a body work guy so I know what needs to be done

Everyone's idea of rich is different, lets just say the S has been paid a long long time and it's function for me is primarily a fun toy when the weather is warm.
