pumped some redline shockproof into my trans and diff. hoping this will help smooth out the crunchiness i get in between shifts when the trans is cold.

tried another aftermarket sensor for my sunpro gauge, still not right. So I guess its down to adding resistors to get theright resistance. ugh.

Also got my sprayers to spray haha

Sunday I replaced the caliper & hoses and bled the brakes, finished the aftermarket third brake light install, and installed the new interior. Still got a few adjustments to the door panels - looks like another trip to the junk yard to get more panel clips.

Changed the rear suspension bushings to superpro and powerflex.

Superpro didn't come with shock mounts and lower control arm bushing.

Ride so much better now.

towed it home, and started to remove my dash!! On the way to work i smelled burning wire and all of a sudden my car dies, i go to start it and my starter wont even turn over and windows wont roll up or down anymore.. its like it doesnt know that the key is in acc or on position. i check all fuses and they are good.. this is going to be fun!

oh i did get my mirrors on ignore the fact that my car is in desperate need of a bath

kompressorlogic: Is it normal to have a taste of vomit after looking at that picture? Maybe it's just me?
