What did you do today to your 3/S?

Installed a new clutch:

Is that a Pit Road/Greddy intercooler? Looks good!

Drove it. Paid for full set of Apexi coilovers. Basically brand new for less than a qtr the price :D

Which ones? I have the S1 coilovers and love them. I wish the rebound could be more adjustable for the firmer settings because it can get slightly bouncy on bumps but otherwise I love them. The ride is very similar to sport ECS mode.

Spent some time working with AutoCAD laying out the basic design for the SMIC I'm building. Waiting for some other programs to finish downloading as well so I can do a 3D model and check fluid flow based on end tanks and see what I can come up with within the space and budgetary constraints.

Also worked on trying to clean the paint off of some lexan lenses I had laying around. The interior paint was cracking and chipped off in some places, so i figured I'd get it all off, then robo mod and reassemble the headlights. So far best I've heard is Graffitti Remover to get it off.

Also have to order some type of modeling clay material for doing some custom fiberglass work, just not sure what would work without having too much shrinkage as it dries.

Why not carve foam instead of clay?

In this particular situation because the project is recessed into something and I need a way to get most of the filler back out in one piece to make molds with for fiberglass. Most foams that harden up are too brittle and would make it difficult to get back out. In this case I'll likely fill in some areas with balled up aluminum foil (or foam), but the majority will be made of clay, sculpted, removed, and then used to make my mold.

You could get some Klean Klay. It is commonly used for expanding foam mold making as it does not stick ot the mold foam and does not dry.

Thanks for the tip, I already ordered some Sculpey III (they also suggested some at the suggestion of an artistic friend who makes a lot of models. So I'll give it a shot, and if it doesn't work out then I'll try the Klean Klay alternatives.

A quick google search shows that apparently Klean Klay was discontinued? There are alternatives out there though that may bear looking into.

Edit: vibration dampener/thermal barrier and butyl rope arrived todayhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/24/zasuqa8a.jpg
