that's weird and, from the sounds of it, unprofessional. what are the plugs for?
Wait a minute. The cars come from Japan on a boat crossing the Pacific Ocean. Are you saying they don't care about the salt air during the car's journey, but they do care about the car suffering the Midwest cancer? I smell a fish...Originally posted by goldenchild@Dec 22 2004, 07:04 AM
The plugs are for people who live where they salt the roads so that the salts do not get into you frame to begin to rust it out. They take them out so that they can ship your car to wherever but it is to protect your frame from salts and corrosion.
You ever see cars on the Florida coast? I'd hate to own a nice car there. They all seem to suffer severe corrosion, and we know it never snows there.Originally posted by spydirweb@Dec 22 2004, 08:10 AM
that actually makes sense...I mean, the salt AIR isn't going to do nearly as much to the inside of your frame as actual salt getting into the frame from a salted road...
I believe that is due to sand, not salty air.Originally posted by lo bux racer@Dec 22 2004, 12:35 PM

i thought that they were shipped in crates, or placed indoors on the boat, not just sitting on the boat's deck or something where they are exposed to the air and water.Originally posted by lo bux racer@Dec 22 2004, 07:32 AM

Are the plugs still in the plastic bag? The bag has pictures as to where the plugs go.Originally posted by Azrael@Dec 22 2004, 04:10 PM
So where exactly in the frame do they go? I havent gotten under there, but I wanna have some idea for when I go to put them in. I'm on the west coast of florida, no snow or anything like that, so I bet I'll be alright.
The picture on the bag is a horrible representation of a car. I couldn't tell anything from that other than that they go in the frame.Originally posted by zoltiz@Dec 22 2004, 05:31 PM
