I stared at it.

Tomorrow I'll put her on jackstands, change my downpipe + put on the testpipe. Then maybe consider tackling the differential pinion oil seal. I'll most likely say **** it, then take it for a drive.

Got the exhaust on my 13b and took her for a ride. Not sure how I feel about it yet, I didn't realize how spoiled i was with the street port 12a that ArmyofOne built. I'm a bit outa tune, but feels like to me the 12a pulled harder and was just overall stronger than the 13b.

Mounted the FC rad. Welded up some mounts for it out of angle iron but have to cut part of the right engine mount to run the lower rad hose properly.

Fixes IMZFE mom's gtu.

Holy crap did that take a lot of work.

Throttle body replaced, tps replaced, brakes rebuilt, wheel studs and rear bearings replaced, new wheels installed, new gas tank installed, and stuff I am sure I am forgetting.

worked on rewiring my fuel pump, I'm gonna do the last part tomarrow. I just need to actually put the wires to the pump now. other than that I'm done. I'm only about 2 hours into this project, and have time to finish, I'm just lazy.....

Tomarrow, I'm gonna replace the DP gasket, and swap in my 720's. and finish the pump.

washed the little cat footprints off the fd and drove it to work (100 mile round trip)...
trying to figure out why an AT FD would have faint wisps of gear oil smell lingering in the
passenger compartment.
or do I not want to know?

I rebuilt the clutch hydraulics. Honed out the insides of them + painted them with Por15 so they wouldn't rust again. Then reassembled + bled. That was fun... Next to change the pinion oil seal... Uhhhgg... I've been putting that off for a while now.
