jkstill 01-08-10 08:21 PM

I bought a dial indicator, 2 jaw pullers and a few odds and ends to replace the 4.10 stock gears with 4.77. Ordered some camber bolts to replace the old tired ones, and some nice new boots for the ball joints in the front end.

thejallenator 01-08-10 08:31 PM

well i yelled a ton of curse words at it due to the coolant seal then drove it home cursing even more and eventually said f it and tried to get it to actually blow up. great day!

Red_Rotor 01-08-10 09:43 PM

God changing those ball joint covers SUCK. We tried and failed, even with the snap on tool on adams silver car.

Gregory Casimir 01-08-10 10:11 PM

well it wasn't me but some bird thought it was cool to place there poop on my windshield.
Does that count?

1BADSP 01-08-10 10:51 PM

i know it's not a 7 but i pulled the axles out of my RX-3SP to have them redrilled to five lug,and got some of the undercarrage pwdercoating back,oh and the new stripes will be done hopefully by wednsday so i can finish the body work and paint it,then my 7 is next.

RW-7 01-08-10 10:55 PM

Not 7 but, I finally got to rolling the fenders on Bob's RX-4 GT-R. It has GSL-SE suspention on the front However with this modification it sat about 2" off the ground. Gambone made some spacers for the strut assemblys, we got those installed and now it sits about 4" off the ground. Plenty of clearence in the fender wells now too.

13bpower 01-09-10 02:13 AM

I checked weather.com to find out the next dry day we will have so I can take it out of the garage.

installer67 01-10-10 02:32 AM

Today I did alot!
 
I finished up tidying my deloomed harness and reloomed. Then I wired my HEI ignition modules to the dizzy and coils for my DLIDFIS, wired fuel pump up w/relay, installed throttle lever on my weber, fabbed a quick bracket and connected throttle. crawled underneath and connected starter to relocated battery, and finally found a temp, fan rad combo to work. Put a little MMO in the housings and prepped her to be started for the first time since I brought her home! tomorrows the day. Run baby run!:egrin:

joemaddox 01-10-10 02:35 AM

Today i kicked it and told it i want some money back.......

Nice. I was doing the same thing on Friday to a 6 port. The compressor blew a relay though so I'm hoping to be porting away again on Monday if I can find the part. I just need a duel contact single throat relay switch. Shouldn't be to hard to find. Hope to find it soon, I have 2 bridgeports to do.

mendozam 01-10-10 11:19 PM

Installed my FEED torque Damper.with Custom bracket.

leftcoastdrifter 01-11-10 12:07 AM

broke a piece of my subframe after getting the pieces that i needed to fix another part of it. freaking sweet.

KompressorLOgic 01-11-10 02:07 AM

upgraded to an s5 alternator, it still seems a bit low with everything on with the efan tho...

Hyper4mance2k 01-11-10 02:18 AM

Pulled off my waterpump and crammed it full of black rtv hoping that fixes the lesk for the time being. Added a ghetto home deopt drifter ass lip. Added more carbon to the front air dam.

Rotary-Pwr 01-11-10 10:51 AM

Drove it to the store (100 miles away) for a lofe of bread.

Nick_d_TII 01-11-10 11:21 AM

Well yesterday, went for a little 45 mi cruise up on Old Skyline Rd. Ran a bunch of logs on the RTEK and I'm still seeing 10 afr's between 4300-4900 6-8 psi. Looking to do more driving/logging next Sunday if the weather's good. :) Jinxd my brother in law went, srry.

Red_Rotor 01-11-10 09:42 PM

painted my hood, s5 mirrors, vented headlight cover and got a new s4 bumper and painted it as well. also got a new headlight retractor motor, and did some body work behind the drivers door. MY CAR IS ALL RED AGAIN!!

JordanRykon 01-12-10 02:35 AM

Moved branches off of it, then parked a hachi and a truck in front of it

Hyper4mance2k 01-12-10 03:05 AM

ckykid02 01-12-10 04:36 PM

got insanely pissed when it wouldnt start.
stupid battery drain.
i hate wiring. someone redo mine.

installer67 01-12-10 08:17 PM

Got really F-in dirty!
 
Today I layed in 2 inches of muddy water and removed my starter. Bought a new one, crawled back into the muck and installed it (twice), then ran a new ground wire just to be safe. When it was all said and done, the damned battery didn't have enough juice to turn the motor, so, maybe tomorrow?:(:scratch:

Nytrate 01-12-10 09:38 PM

Picked up a Cat Delete Pipe for 35 bucks SHIPPED!@
