Hey...any body know if mold can be successfully removed from leather interior?

Only got like 24 hours to figure this out and could mean the difference between keeping the CL or not.

noah, try some leather cleaners, might take several application across a few days to get rid of it but it should work i think. but its best to contact the detail pros like johnny and denzil

Yeah, Noah got a hold of me already and it's rather difficult to permanently remove mold. The problem with mold is that it soaks very deep into the leather and even beyond it. It's possible to be removed but there's a good chance it can reappear no matter how much cleaning you do.

It's possible to remove it completely but that would require the use of an ozone generator which can be harmful to breathe in. The use of the ozone generator would result in ozone residue residing within the leather and past the leather. In my opinion, it's definitely not an option to consider since it's a health hazard.

Thanks...yeah I've been stressed trying to make a decision...

But I found a set of front and rear seats for $350. That's a good deal. Might swoop them up.

Checked out the interior a bit ago and it's been IMO...

drove this fun little thing today at work. Rarely even see them on the road.



the interior is pretty much completely bare


even I had trouble getting in/out of the car cause its fucking TINY. But my god, does it handle. There's no power steering, no traction control, no stability control. So I was kinda iffy getting into it at first. But once I took off, none of that shit mattered. It's an absolute blast to drive, it's amazing that its the same 1.8L 4 banger in the corolla. Probably the best handling car I've driven so far. Just that steering, its so precise and the feedback from the wheel feels like its an extension of your body. TONS of grip, I couldn't even get the rear to make a peep through a corner.

The car is so small, I couldnt see some traffic lights, I had to duck and look up and out the windshield. Some trucks next to me, I would look over and just see their door, couldn't even see who was driving

look at this pic I found. The car is LESS THAN 4 ft tall and it's <2000 lbs

Not much new. My NSX is gone (Mar 09) and I don't have any thing new as a project car. But I still have my CLS, with nearly 130k miles on it. I still love driving it.

Yes, it's been a while since I've seen anyone from AZ. Would be nice to meet up with you guys again.

52mpg around town driving or highway?
