Changed oil and filter and went for a quick drive. Drained the oil through a clean rag to see if there was any metal particles etc. All clean :bigthumb:
Didn't get a chance to install anything.... maybe next weekend.
Walked in the garage to start swapping out the bad alternator, then decided to cut the grass instead.
Finally got off my ass & fixed the nasty boost leak that was plaguing my car to 1psi.
Was driving home from the grocery store and came across a 2010 camarro. Just happened to catch the same light as the owner and I asked him if his ride was stock. He smiled and gave it a rev and I heard a monsterous supecharger in there. He smiled and said "Whipple". I smiled and bumped off the 2step and looked at the light and back at him. Opposing light turned yellow and he rev'd. Light turned green and we had at it. Ate his ass for lunch out of the hole and pulled another full car on him to the top of 3rd and backed off. Slowed down and waved at the next intersection turning into my neighborhood.
Walked into the house chuckling and helped put the grocerys away and mentioned the encounter to the wifey. She laughed and said, "wasn't that the car you said you would sell your GT for?" I laughed and went to the fridge and grabbed a coke and cracked it open. LOL, it exploded on me when I cracked it open and sprayed all over the kitchen floor from the jolt in the car I would assume from the launch. She said, " I love my idiot husband!" and we both laughed our asses off.
Today was a good day. :)
LMFAO... So How long did you walk around with that Shit eating grin on your face!!!Quote:

Got a wheel bearing, just need to get a ball joint and install them. Then I can bring yellow home.
was in the living area enjoying my pistachios when i heard what sounded like a great amount of air escaping. i ran out in the garage and found this:
which leads me to believe that a negro had his way with my wheel.
ahhhh huhh.. sorry

Took it to the car wash and then tac ragged it and started sanding to prep for paint on all the new body panels. I think I'm going to hand sand the whole car unless someone gives me a good reason to do otherwise. Also finished sanding the hood molds up (just incase I F* this hood up too! some of you know that story and have seen the U-tube vid LOL).
BTW, yes the tires are mounted. You can't really tell but there's 11" (and some change) wide tires on there. The muther is WIDE.
i'd honestly like a big ricey spoiler like you and phil and yellow kid the last day of the meet, but not until i get some events under my belt. road course that is.. or at least some activity that i do more often where it would be helpful. i'm often driving quickly, but not quite like that so often.Quote:

and yeah, i don't know that i'd like to look at that everyday. i biggest concern really is that i'll ruin my wheels that are really just fine. three of them have curb rash for now. i'd probably go off and get them powder coated, but i don't Really know what colour to go with. the pistachio paint isn't doesn't seem too bright, but i think it is against red.
and i feel like if i sand them all and paint them once, then it wouldn't be so bad to do it again and again until i get them powder coated.. ya know test a couple colours before i pay big bucks for something.. any suggestions as to how to make that wheel better? i'm thinking about painting the inside flat black. i bought the paint. it was only 97 cents. it was that or a ten pack of pens..
_isiah
hella flush. hmm. tires with fenders? my fronts stick out. my rears less with these tires.. i think they would with second gen brakes too, but we'll see..Quote:

ramble ramble.
big wing... i might go for one after a couple events.. i might even count my back road drives as course time, but... it would be nice if i could remove it whenever i felt and didn't have to worry about rust.. via some plug, or filler..
and i'm working on the aero, although my active aero works.. i believe

GZP seem to be able to get them now for $200Quote:

any suggestions for this wheel? things to make it look more professionally done?,
tired, DONE

Walked right past it, turned around, scrapped some bird shit off, and got in my corolla to go to work.
Installed CFDS today!!!
Installed Megan M2 Exhaust on Yoshi's VR-4 and fixed 3sx's crappy job of wiring in the fuel pump hotwire on his car.
Some idiot at 3sx ran the 12+ feet of main power to the fuel pump relay on the outside of the car!!! WTFH!! Top it all off they ran it inside the shroud that encases the damn fuel lines! Yeah real smart!!! Run a hot power wire next to a fuel source. I don't care if the damn thing was fused it would only take one spark to set the fuel up in an accident! Considering they had like a 60amp fuse it would have sparked before it blew the fuse.....
Quality work right there! Yoshi didn't even know they had done this. If I hadn't installed his exhaust it would have been left un-noticed.
Power wire is now safely routed inside the car where it should be.

sound clip of exhaust.
You never run a power wire on the outside of a car. You want to shield it from the Environment, Heat, Bottoming out, Road debris, ETC. You also never run an exposed power wire and zip tie it to a pressurized fuel line unless you want to blow the car up if you get in an accident!!Quote:

I really hope those aren't the wheels off your car! If so there will be an intervention next NG to get your ass off crack!Quote:
