You know, the same green on the Soul that is in the “hamster commercial”
With my satin black grill and my red calipers, I think this will look great!

Bad news though, looks like I’ll have to go serpentine belt since the Outward alternator belt runs into the power steering pump.

I received my 27″ long transmission dipstick. Wow, any taller, I’d have to put a light on it.
I needed to shorten the tube and the dipstick about 3″ on the tube and about 2″ on the dipstick.
This setup is normally for a Turbo 350, but I modified it for my 200-4r.
