Painted my valance on the se. Now I'm looking for 4 new tires which I can't find anywhere. The 205/60/14 is suppose to be the stock size and the firestones on there now look a little fat on the stock wheels. O well I will continue the search. But the valance looks good.

Drove it to work and almost rear ended someone when my brake pedal went straight to the floor-very low on brake fluid. Luckily I was able to stop :p since I have the day off today, gonna pull all the wheels off and check there are no leaks anywhere before i top the fluid up. Seems like if I fix one thing, another breaks. Oh, and my ac causes my car to run very hot. Found that out the hard way last Friday.

finally pulled my axles and diff , good thing i did, cause my driverside axle was about to come apart on me. The lock collar for the bearing was backed off about 1/16" and the retaining plate on the outside was actually bowed out, luckily ive already bought new bearings and collars and it looks like im gonna hafta make some heavy duty retaining plates out of 1/4" plate steel....then i pulled apart my LSD which has been getting weak on me, and measured out the clutch discs. they all are within spec, but a few of them have pretty decent gauling on the faces, so i ordered 4 new discs (including 2 oversized 2.1mm ones 
)
i just hope i have the car back together and running by then end of next week for some autoX action

well, since no one had any rear driver's side wheel cylinders local, i had to order one from rockauto. car will be up on jack stands until next week. also found out that i only had one bolt holding my ac compressor in place, which promptly broke off when i tried to remove it to match a bolt for the other side -__- seems like i cant catch a damn break with this car, hahaha. also, forced induction, although i don't have the money for it right now, has tickled my fancy lately....

^^I have A/C compressor bolts off my car.. also I think at least one is a nut on a stud. LMK if you need them. I'd assume they're the same.
Most recent picture of mine, parked at work sometime last week.
Also, I did nothing to mine today.. just looked at it again.

No problem, just PM me if you want them.. personally I'd just ditch the A/C
Also, enjoy a picture not from a cell phone lol
I've always wanted FI, but I don't think I'll do it on the SA.

Wrapped a spare steering wheel in leather and got it installed.
Measured my ride height and found that my right front and left rear were each about 1/2" low. Fixed that.
Fixed my shifter boot so it would stop popping out.
Installed a new turn signal unit so it will actually cancel after making a turn.
Found that both front tires were worn down to the cords due to mucho toe-in. This probably happened when I installed the turn-in spacers. Did a ghetto alignment on it so it's much better now.
I have a March of Dimes event on Sunday, so tomorrow I'll try to get her washed/waxed (TV cameras will be there, lol) and loaded up for the race.
