New wheels (free!!) 2 new tires, waiting to not be broke to get the rears, new struts kyb struts in the rear, new poly control arm bushings and made a tps tool!

 

Got 2 bends in the rims straightened. They wanted 75 a wheel to get rid of the curb rash, so I did it myself.

Before


After

 

^Soo, just a lot of sanding & polishing...? Looks really good btw!

Hmmm, drove the F*ck out of it!! Just rolled over 217k last wk!

 

Drove down to kompressor_logic's dads house to pick up a wiper linkage I desperately needed. Swapped the broken one out, now i can drive at EVD tomorrow. Thank you so much Ryan (and Keith)!!

Rad hoshinos dude.

 

How did you fix your rims??


I pushed it out of the garage today to I stall cabinets in my garage. Next is to find a sheet of metal to cover part of the table top with so I can build my motor!

 

Installed a new ECU and cleaned up the interior.

 

Used a 50 grit flap disc on my cordless drill to get rid of the mess, then brought it up to 1200 grit wet sanded by hand. Polished with some mothers aluminum polish. Easy enough, just messy. Just did not see spending 300 to get them done. That was the worst one by far.

Should be picking up my hood tomorrow, if it looks as good as they say, I'll be ready for paint soon. The hood won't work with the RB strut bar, so I'm grabbing a rotary engineering 3pt bar and hoping it will fit better. Guess I'll put the RB one on the GS.


RB muffler I grabbed off Ebay arrived, so I added it to the stockpile of parts in the garage.

 

Installed a new rear trailing arm camber links

 

Saw those on PBM website.
Come back with some feedback after driving!

 

They add just a little bit positive camber. And they don't FIT i have to borrow some grinder since the side spacer is 1.5mm off.
Before buying some stuff from them make sure you ask if they fit. Their coilovers requires grinding and I got only few tools and it sucks to find out their parts doesnt fit w/o grinding

 

went over to the pops and checked out the 91 vert he got for 300 bucks, with a blown motor.... sometimes u get lucky and its something simple... no that thing is seized! rusty plugs, guessing it was severly over heated, and then sat for so long seals are rusted up!

 

If the engine rotors are good ill take them!

 

with as rusty as the plugs were and the motor being seized I highly doubt there any good....

but maybe this summer we will host the engine tear down party! every person is garenteeed there own engine to tear apart! lol

 

I drove my FD and found a new oil leak

 

Pull started the flooded, freshly rebuilt FD. Idling for 3 hours before test run.

 

desided to "do it right" for once, going to paint some s2 rx8 wheels gunmetal, so I desided id strip the paint, and primer and repaint them as they had some light curbabe and neded a bit of sanding anyway....

well beyond the point of no return this is going to take HOURS.... I shoulda just rattled caned right over it all lol....

 

Plastidip would have saved time Ryan!

 

Just installed them plus subframe risers and diff risers. I also raised my car up 1/2" Didn't touch the adjustable center rod, just yet. Regardless, my camber dropped from 3.7/4.4 to 2.0/2.2.

As far as the links go, they didn't know. At least when I bought mine which was a few weeks ago. I called them and told them the widths were wrong, they measured and confirmed. I honestly can deal with a little grinding considering they're the only company who is trying to make more parts for this specific chassis.

 

Painted and installed the crossmember after having stripped it clean last weekend. Assembled front steering linkage, installed the power steering main assembly.

 

Today I had the pleasure of seeing some friendly faces, some new ones too, ate some great BBQ, and watched Jesus put together #100.

 

Had a great time with Chad and friends today!

 

Stunted the **** outta that bitch yesterday. Too much fun.

 

Replaced the coolant level sensor, tax title license plates, DROVE it! Great times.

 

Located mounts, drilled holes, fab'd nut plates and installed FC front swaybar on my FB, so far I got the fabing done, now to measure and source out the struts/coilovers for front. Have to go shorter than normal to keep the same ride height I had before....low!

 

Put in a double din!
