Obviously depends what lines they are
Generally the different colored lines are braided stainless steel and will be better

Braided lines are the best upgrade your money will ever buy if your vehicle has non braided lines.

WRONG!

A good SCA pod filter is the best thing you can buy - at around 1hp per dollar spent!

Flushed 23yrs of rust out of the cooling system in the 121.

Took 4 fill up and drains with the cooling system flush and took the radiator out and flushed it, banged it a few times to loosen it all.

Now instead of brown its nice and greeeeeeen ^_^

Half fixed my speaker..

Soldered the wires up which fixed it slightly.

Turns out the worst vibration is from the wood template thingy that sits between the speaker and bottom of the parcel shelf is bent and when the speaker vibrates, it vibrates the wood onto the metal.

When I get a bit of time I will move the speakers from the bottom side of the shelf to the top side.
I fix cars.

Sometimes the worst thing you can do is to disturb the rust in a cooling system! Especially new coolant in a rust radiator!

We will see how we go, no dramas yet.

I would never oil flush or seafoam this car though.

Attached antlers to my mum's car when she was sleeping :troll:

I'm rather shocked at the fact she actually drove to Kangaroo Island with them on 8O
