I cleaned up the OEM front floor mats that came in today (turned out looking quite nice) & began to re-install all the stuff I took off the front end several weeks ago to originally fix the fogs...That soon evolved into me repainting/cleaning everything that had red over spray on it from the last repaint it had.
dropped off a box of parts for the shop that working on my car. NGK spark plug wires, thermostat, 3SX poly motor mounts, Rockauto.com full gasket kit, timing belt kit, K&N MAF kit, and next will probably be from walboro/denso fuel pump.
Apparently if your car is a 1991 VR-4 built before 9/30/1990 getting a thermostat and gasket from a local parts store is damned near impossible :mad:
May sell the 92 StealthTT. People see it in the driveway asking if it's for sale and hear it run. After robbing the Borla exhaust and 2" IC piping maybe I will sell it. I want to get down to 3S anyway so I'll finish minor stuff on the 95 VR-4 and sell that too, leaving the 92 VR-4 as my babied sunday driver.
Finised pulling front turbo and going to. ship it for.rebuild tomorrow.
Battery died from the heat so I changed it out. Also freshened it up with some new Twin Turbo stickers :).

does it make any noise while driving? rattling etc?
build thread started for the Stealth Trailer: http://www.3sgto.org/f2/stealth-trailer-build-5876.html
the hatch side is hard plastic so it'll absorb some, but otherwise nope.Quote:

Just got some new tires put on mt GTO, the new kid that did them crossed and stripped ALL of the lugs on the passengers side, however they were apologetic about it and replaced them for me free of charge. Today I will be having a venture of removing the rice from the car as well, the wing needs to go...
That's why I put the car on jackstands & take the rims & tires to the shop. Do all of the important work at home.Quote:

Bought some oil [Castrol Edge Sport 10W60 synthetic] and tried to find some hoses to connect my y pipe to my turboxs bypass valve. Current 45deg joiner piece keeps blowing off cus it's too short and has no lip.
10w60? wtf? that's either awfully light for your differential or awfully heavy for your engine.Quote:
