What did you do to your FD today?
I've seen these on other forums and thought it would be fun here since there's always something to work on with an FD!
I'm adding a second oil cooler and needed to clean it up a bit. Just put a basketball game on tv and sat down with some tweezers. Cleaned both sides of the fins up, the front was pretty bad, then gave it a light coat with some high temp black paint. Came out pretty well.

Finally put my efini y-pipe on my 93 RHD today. Doesnt sound like much but it is significantly more difficult than LHD, a fact I discovered after I had everything torn apart.
Next is ducting for my greddy intercooler. Trying to decide on the pettit duct or to just try to fab up my own...

I have been spending hours on my V-mount ducting. I decided on doing separate ducts for them and I just squeeked out the required 1/6 cooler duct opening for both. My intake filter sits right in the mouth of the bumper (its a huge filter) and made it a little difficult to get it to all work right. With time and patience and some trial and error using tons of cardboard, I got a sick *** set up. Now I just need to make it from fiberglass.
Next on the list, weld the bottom of my intercooler pipe for my clamp to grip onto, heat shrink all the solder joints for my HID lights with high beams
, make ducts for the backside of every heat exchanger on the car, and put it all back together. Lots of engineering, thinking, and trial and error to get everything right the first time. I am also thinking about a vented hood now to duct out the air from the intercooler.

Fuel filter replacement coming up (first DYI by me, maybe second ever for our car). Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. Will be using Dale's procedure; just bought 1/4" drive extensions and hose pliers.

As long as you don't have arms like The Rock or Popeye, you should be able to get it replaced without too many issues.
I hope to pull the trigger on Sakebomb Duel oil coolers soon.

Changed 1 x rear reverse bulb..
While i had the light assembly out I saw a bit of rust starting to form back behind the bumper..
Wire brushed the area, applied kill rust, then covered with white zinc spray. (behind both reverse lights)

Inflated my tires correctly, charged the battery and fired it up in preparation of moving it to its own garage at the end of the month, where I finally can start working on it properly!
