Put In Some Work Today?
Saw a similar thread like this one so thought Id start a more local one. Last night I removed the tails, taped, smoked em out for that retro look. It came out better than I thought it would! Put em back on so heres some pics......

Uh... I got a second set of floor mats.... cleaned em up real nice.... 
I have some major Polished jewelry to put on my car this winter (UIM, LIM, Y-pipe with a proper BOV), some motor mounts, and looking at Powerflex'ing my whole suspension... Why do it while you can still drive it. Saving the big projects for the winter

My car is in the shop getting tuned (shook motorsports in rockford) after I replaced my motor with 2slow4stock's motor (my last one exploded on the very same dyno this one is getting tuned on). If all goes well I will get my car back on saturday or sunday and she will live again after over a year of down time! yea!
or it will explode in a spectacular fireball of failure once again... but I really hope that doesn't happen lol.

wooooo! I got my car back on Sunday and it works!
so that's one more FC on the road, and man does it feel good.
I changed the wiper blades and put about 2 hours troubleshooting my stupid CD player. apparently it developed a short somewhere... I'll figure it out later. For now I can live without a radio.

I've had work done at both shops and they are good places and won't rip you off. They are also both well respected members of the rotary community... and as local as you're gonna get.

just tore out my M2 Meduim SMIC and M2 Carbon Airbox intake for an Apexi GT Spec Front Mount, the Apexi Intake and and a Greddy Profec B Boost Controller.
I also have ported and polished UIM, LIM, Thermostat and Alternator Housings to put on. Gonna tear everything down this winter and get busy. Hopefully these cooler Air Temps will yield me a few extra HP.

I just finished installing the front half of my energy suspension bushings. man, it's night and day, the front is so tight, and the back is a sloppy *****. I can't wait for my rear subframe mounts to come in so I can do the back.
Friggan MMR man... They have good prices but I ordered those mounts on November 17th...

So the vert had a engine fire due to a short in the ACV valve wires. I had a leaking upper radiator cap which dripped onto the wires. Luckily I caught it in time and put it out. Just changed out the ACV today since we have this nice weather. Here's a photo of the old one......

On Tuesday I spliced/soldered in some ground wire at the ECU to fix my 3800 RPM hesitation. So far so good!!!!!
On wednesday I installed a new shift **** from Level Zero Motorsports!
Next on the list is
1) my shortshifter from mazdatrix
2) replace the throwout bearing (I have a exedy clutch kit so Im debating on replacing that too)
3) front u-joint is bad, so a new driveshaft is going to be needed
thats it for now

Work put in this winter
Well... It all started with a perfectly working car. Under the hood, it used to look like this:
And then with the help of a few friends, I decided that my winter plans would involve installing this for better intake temps: Apexi GT Spec FMIC FTW with the Apexi Intakes
Well, quickly the project expanded. I bought a set of BNR stage 3s
I then realized I should reseal the OilPan and replace my motor mounts:
WHile I had everything apart.... why not polish the Waterpump Housing, UIM, LIM, TB, etc.
And Finally, A CJ Motorsports Fuel Rail with ID2200s and 725... pictures to come. Time to reassemble
SO yeah.... just a bit of work all in my garage.

Just finished installing a new master cylinder for my clutch and slave as well. Was fairly simple to do but I needed an extra body to help me bleed it. Luckily my bro from stl was visiting.

Started piecing together my interior again. The other day I inspected my rear suspension from a previous TII swap. I think that counts
